[Scintillating10]

Pagnotta said Habs taking calls on Allen, Dvorak, Savard and Armia. He also mentioned possibly Evans. Pagnotta went on to say Habs willing to take a contract back to help a trade.

I see a few missing from the list... But a good start!

 

[HabsAddict]

What about Gallagher and Pearson? Why are they left out from this migration of giants?

Notice that Monahan is not on the list. To repeated myself repeatedly, Monahan is likely in the Habs long term plans even if he gets traded at the TD. No one signs a team friendly 2 million contract without a reason.

All of them have one more year left after this season.I would guess they would mainly accept an expiring contract coming back.

It said in article they trying to sign Monahan.

I would expect the Leafs to call on Savard and maybe Dvorak too, I've never been a Dvorak guy but the Leafs do need a #3 center

Didn't Pagnotta also say Detroit was about to trade Berggren because he was a healthy scratch in GR?

... Right after Detroit got multiple injuries and were about to call him up?

Where’s the sizzle?

Pagnotta isn't a credible insider.

"Taking calls" and '
"actively shopping" are completely different things. Also, not that I dont trust your reading comprehension skills, but where's the link to the article?

 

[MXD]

Savard isn't the player I'd be actively looking to shop, but wtv.

Pearson is hurt and Gallagher is pretty much untradeable

Which contending teams even have bad contracts that they need to unload to make this kind of trade worthwhile?

Dvorak at 4.5 mil isn't really attractive to take on next season

Allen is worthless unless we are retaining or taking a bad contract back, and retaining on him would only bring a 3rd or 4th at best and that's not very good use of a retention slot for 2 years

Savard I could actually see having decent value if we retained 50%, but again we would have to max out our retention slots

Armia, well, we all know he is worthless unless we find a bigger and longer term cap dump out there

Evans is meh

Is Anderson on the trade block still or has he turned it around up there? I find his size and style of play interesting although he has that big cap hit.

I doubt he ever was on the trade block

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

im sure our GM is shopping half our team

 

[dirtydanglez]

ryjo and a 4th for dvorak. avs get someone who fits their system better, habs get a 4th and a tiny bit of cap space.

I can't imagine a single team that would offer an asset and an expiring contract for any of those guys... but who knows.

An old vet with another year left riding a hot streak that could have inflated value playing the position most stacked in our prospect pool? I don't know who you would actively shop if not him lol

Savard @ 50% + Evans for Johansen + lotto protected 1st?

Avs save .6M this season and next

I think with there contracts being 2 years I think all those guys have negative value. if there were expiring deals maybe different.
