Montreal adds
But to recognize the cap swing- Buffalo can add Girgensons in and Pacioretty can come back the other way. That evens the value.
That is just terrible lol.
Was thinking the same. I'm gonna assume he meant Sam Reinhart but that's not happening.I didn’t know we traded Bennett
Wait.... we acquired Sam Bennett? I don’t see a thread for this, I MUST MAKE ONE!If I'm the Hab's I say Middlestat is the price,
And seeing as how that ISN"T going to happen, I say Sam Bennet and Rasmus Ristoltain, for 3rd overall and Brendan Gallager.
Domi makes up for Gallager,
Montreal needs a D man and a center (and both must be much younger than O'riley)
Buffalo, gets an emotional leader and goalscorer in Gallager, and a winger to play with their two top centers, Both Bennet and Ristolitan are replaced by Middlestat and Dahlien,
I don't know why they would want 3rd overall so badly though,
If this is a Habs fan looking to deal 3rd for O'riley.....what the hell are you thinking?
Guess you’ll continue to have a center black hole.
We do not need a second line center for a 3OA, and you want us to add Pacioretty, lol, you must be kidding me. I'd rather we tank and draft one.
Don't be silly. If ROR hits the open market today MTL is the first to offer him 7M+How about no, the Habs can't be giving up a third overall pick for a second line center that is overpaid.
1st line center for Team Canada
2nd line center for the Habs
lol
Even at the time of the draft it was weak in comparison to most other drafts. If anything it looks better now then it did at draft time.Relative to other draft years yes. Although this is in hindsight
Oh come on, he's a second line center on a cup contending team. Why would we give up our 3OA pick for ROR? Will this put us over the top and compete for the cup next season? please.
ROR is overrated and a second line center who is paid like a 1st line center. There is absolutely no reason for the Habs to trade a 3rd overall pick for him let alone add anything to it, especially when you consider he is 27.Guess you’ll continue to have a center black hole.
The year you figure that out is when you’ll understand RORs value.
Name 30 better active centers
How about no, the Habs can't be giving up a third overall pick for a second line center that is overpaid.
Not being silly he is overpaid as he is a second line center not a first line center. You are also comparing two very different scenario. In one the Habs add him without losing anything. In this scenario they are giving up a the 3rd overall pick in the draft for his bloated salary.Don't be silly. If ROR hits the open market today MTL is the first to offer him 7M+

No, you don’t understand his value. Name 30 better centers.I think you are missing the point.
First line center for team Canada? In what world? Are you talking about the worlds where 90% of NHL players are not available due to the playoffs are just not wanting to go? Please try harder. Never made the Olympic roster and while he played at the world cup he was far from the 1st line and didn't even put up a point in 6 games.1st line center for Team Canada
2nd line center for the Habs
lol
You don't seem to understand the being a 1st line center by default still does not make him as good as real 1st line center. Not all teams have a true first line center but they do have someone playing that role.No, you don’t understand his value. Name 30 better centers.
Just because he’s a 2nd line center behind Jack Eichel doesn’t mean he’s not a 1st line center on most teams.
Particularly the Habs.
If solving the 1C puzzle is so cheap and easy, why do you still have it?
It’s because it’s not easy to find. Hence why he has the value he does.
