Speculation: Canadiens actively shopping 4 players

Not saying Hughes is gonna or even try to do it but second would be the high end of a retained Allen. No one is going higher then that

Doubt Allen is traded.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Take a 3rd with no retention .

That would be the ideal thing to not use another retention slot

Doubt Allen is traded.

That’s fine

 

[Scintillating10]

Armia Habs may move also. He's playing good hockey. A third round pick is the ask.

Allen is more likely to be moved. No one is going to want the extra year of Armia's contract. So many teams need an NHL level goaltender they will be more willing to take the extra year.

They say Hughes asking too much for Allen

MTL

- Arturs Silovs
- 3 rounds pick

VAN

- S. Monahan

Van could use a 2-3C as for montreal they need a futur good goaltender.

Habs have their future goalie. No need for Silovs.

Well, Hughes was apparently asking for too much for Monahan, and got his price.

 

[CAUFIELD]

I expect Allen to get traded at 50% retained for a late second maybe , more probably a 3rd

That seems about right to me. IF the market is hot, then a 2nd. Otherwise, probably a 3rd.

Hughes should trade him regardless if its a 3rd or worse. Habs need to end the goalie carousel.

Exactly . He did the same with Edmundson . We had too much LD and he took whatever he could to get rid of him, and was ready to retain.

 

[Scintillating10]

Savard to Oilers good fit. For Holloway and a 1st? Half retained.

 

[Treb]

With Armia scoring like late great Brett Hull lately, he's gained a fair amount of interest among us Maple Leafs homers. What the hell does GM Hughes want for him? I've seen some people suggest Liljegren for Armia. Value seems about right, thoughts?

Done, no take back.

No thank you, we're good with Kovacevic. The only piece you have that might interest anyone is your 1st.

we're talking about Armia hes far from being worth a 1st

I'm not sure what he's worth (won't be expensive) and I may sound like a Homer here but Armia would be a fantastic pickup for any playoff team. Especially the leafs

He was awesome for us in 2021. Played with Staal and Perry, that line was money for us all throughout the playoffs. He had a bad start with us this year so we sent him down for a bit but ever since his callup he's been much better.

Big body, great cycle game, great puck possession and does have a scoring touch. All the stuff you want for a playoff grind. I guess it depends on who you pair him with to get the best out of him but that's what he brings.

I know, it's so sad...

 

[pth2]

I wonder if Armia might end up moved, perhaps in return for another bad contract, because he has been playing well and could be useful on a lower line on a better team.

Am not expecting a useful, positive return.

Don't hate it but we have a log jam at D as it is.
I'm assuming we'd either end up flipping him or another Dman for a pick.

Does the cap work?

He's not a bad contract.

If you take back Ceci as a cap dump, that might be close.

Easily done on MTL's end. I'd also be interested in Tverberg but thats probably unlikely.

of course not, the guy is trolling you

Most Oilers fans have seemed quite satisfied with Ceci for a while now. Savard doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade - at the very least not enough of an upgrade to want their team to use up trade capital on.

How bad is Ceci contract?

 

[MasterMatt25]

Doubt Pearson gets moved at all at this point. There was a thought we’d get a late pick for him. But now it seems unlikely we get a late pick even if he’s retained.
