Speculation: Canadiens actively shopping 4 players

[Boss Man Hughes]

Pearson probably won't even be in the NHL next year

He would one of San Jose's best players.
Seriously it doesn't matter where he is next year. A team that acquired him wouldn't likely keep him anyway.

 

[JianYang]

Savard is the one I'd target if I'm a buyer. The other guys on that list are meh to washed up.

Savard is the only one likely to fetch much of interest, though. And I suspect he doesn't get moved for anything that won't lead to a minor meltdown here over the return. ie, he isn't being auctioned off for whatever is conveniently cheap for someone.

 

[Qwijibo]

No no, not 1st + 2nd. I trade a late first but I would want an early 2nd with Savard (I'd send a plug the other way if it's what required to fit in cap). Regarding Dvorak, 100% agreed.

Oh and I cheer for Montreal, I just happened to see our run end when he set up Ross Colton.

Why the hell would Montreal move Savard if all they're getting back is a pick marginally higher than what they're sending out?

Hughes could also sell high on Matheson and hold on to Savard to help the young guys on D.

I personally don't think they will move either Savard or Matheson.

 

[MajorWeber]

You can't figure that out?? It's easy, Habs gain first round pick is why. Habs retain 1.9 on Allen, send Peterson minors clears another 1.2 million. For extra 1.8 in caproom Montreal gains first. Habs 10 million under cap, it's f...all to them. Flyers get vet for playoffs, while gaining 3.1 million caproom this season. The 5m of Peterson to 1.9 Allen. They can ( and/or) retain 25% flip him in off season. Or send him to minors. They gain 5 million cap room next season.

I just don't and can't see the Flyers giving up a first for this.

 

[Natey]

The tough part with Pearson is that even at 50% retention he carries a 1.625 hit. That's pretty steep for what he brings.

Tough to see for a guy like Pearson. He was a nice player before injuries took their toll on him.

Cap hit means pretty much nothing at the deadline unless it's a huge contract.

 

[FerrisRox]

Christian Dvorak? Pass. Don't see a need anywhere. Maybe if I have one of his junior buddy (like Tkachuk or Marner) on my team and want to give him an extra boost. Maybe if I owe a favour to his dad for previously signing on the cheap 20+ years ago...

What did Ed Dvorak sign for you twenty years ago?

I just don't and can't see the Flyers giving up a first for this.

They absolutely would not do that, and if they did decide to trade their 1st round pick to upgrade goaltending and get a little cap space, I'm sure they could do much better than Jake Allen who wouldn't move the needle for the Flyers at all.

Agree I could see Allen to Col for Johansen .

Easy pass for the Avs as told many times by every Colorado posters. Ryjo was probably a possibilty for an upgrade to Monahan. Ryjo give Avs more chances to target 2024-2025 UFA center.

Really ? Jeez i haven't seen any yet. i guess you didn't read the Allen to Col thread.

 

[Scintillating10]

Hope Hughes doesn't do same with Allen what he did with Anderson. Hang onto him too long.

To late we are already there. Allen straight up for Ryjo makes sense and about the best we can expect. Col could use a backup to give Georgiev some well deserved rest.

I would waive Allen, just to recapture the 4 million caphit for next year. I don't care much about another late round pick. Pretty sure he be claimed.

 

[David71]

what would it take to get micheal pezzetta?

We won't get nothing and need bodies. So no sense trading Pez

 

[ashs]

Leafs could make a pitch for dvo as we have his buddies in marner and Domi however, Montreal would have to send a pick or/and eat a lot of that cash

Revisit next year . Dvorak out for the season

If Allen goes unclaimed, the Habs would only save about $1M on the cap by burying him in the AHL -- and most of that would get eaten up by the player who replaced him on the NHL roster. The only benefit to waiving Allen would be to eliminate the three-headed goalie monster they currently have, allowing Primeau to get in more games as Monty's backup.

He'll be claimed. Teams already offered a 6th.

So.... why would Montreal waste an asset to lose an expiring contract, exactly? For now, Dvorak is out for the season so the Leafs won't want him, and even overpaid, Dvorak is going to fetch a pick of some kind at the deadline in a year.

He's having an awful year. No team is taking Allen off our hands on waivers.

 

[RC51]

he is NOT having a bad year. the team is having a bad year. the dmen are just learning the nhl. The best nhl goalie right now would drop to a 8,00 average if he was on the habs current team. it's all part of a full rebuild by the habs. this is like saying Matthews has never won a cup so he must be a choker of a player. nobody looks that good on a bad team.

Best goalie in league under .800%. I don't quite think so
