Oh great . If the Habs get Dvorak we get to see 283727273 posts on how Dvorak is waaaaaay better than KK and how Bergivin greatly improved his team and KK was garbage and bla bla bla puke

three classless subbans

Dvorak for the Canes 1st and a conditional 2nd in 2024 according to the tweet from whoever that is.

Can't read French though. Maybe some of those other words I don't understand are crazy. Or maybe it says "Coyotes definitely not trading Dvorak for the Canes 1st and conditional 2nd in 2024."

They’re some really rude things about Americans and honestly those comments have no place in a simple tweet about a hockey trade. I’m personally pretty offended.

No idea if this is true or not

Well, he knew Perry to Tampa Bay and that Montreal would select Logan Mailloux before it happens. We'll see.

Well I'll get my 'in b4' comment then. Dvorak IS a better player than KK. It's really not that much of an argument.

I’m pretty sure you can’t trade the picks you get as compensation for an offer sheeted player.

I call BS.

 

[Eisen]

It's ridiculous that they don't say anything. Like they haven't made up theirmind.

Sure you can. But they will obviously have to wait until the offer sheet goes through. The picks are not Montreal property yet.

Yes you can.

They’re just making sure they have a deal in place to land Evander Kane as a replacement.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

They're doing it because Carolina also took an entire week to match when everyone knew they would, and to prevent Carolina from basically doing anything else for a week.

You definitely can, offer sheet just needs to be officially not matched first

 

[reino]

Are we even sure that Bergevin knows there's offer sheet?

 

[Colezuki]

Are we even sure that Bergevin knows there's offer sheet?

He definitely does, but can you imagine an Ottawa situation, he went off the grid and everything lol

RESPECT THE NUMBER OF THREADS WE’VE HAD ON HFBOARDS MARC! THROW US A BONE!

Are we getting to Part VI before the glorious end time?

Because the League likes the gloating?

Yeah but Carolina did that tactically as it was the first week of free agency and Montreal had actual options to potentially go after, at this point in free agency though? What's Carolina gonna go out and spend 6 million on, Galchenyuk? I think it's genuinely just a really good offer sheet that has given the Canadiens pause

 

[Frank Drebin]

So when exactly is the match deadline?

Can you put a sticky post at the top saying its at 1730 EST? This question gets asked every page it seems like.

 

[Guttersniped]

You can trade the picks a year after the offer sheet wasn’t matched.

 

[SlafCaufield]

I will f***ing snap.

There is nothing out there to spend 6m on.

Well there goes the canes season, either way they royally screwed the Habs and made for a very interesting week to boot.

Sounds like torture

 

[admiralcadillac]

Isn’t Hoffman replacing Tartar?

And while I do think you can question keeping Danault at his price 6 year/5.5m is a lot for a shutdown center, particularly when combined with Gallagher’s 6 year/6.5m.

The Habs will miss him next season though, unless a replacement center(s) appear(s) immediately.

Assuming Savard is healthy, Romanov improves and Wideman is a nice pick-up, all that seems like a reasonable replacement for the regular season Weber and Mete and whatever else is gone. (From a non-Habs fan perspective.)

Tatar had ten goals and 30 points last year, didn’t play in the playoffs. You are right though, I just didn’t see him as being much of a piece.

Where do you people get these ideas?

I won’t lie, I’m personally a little punchy after a lively evening yesterday and I feel like everyone talked this topic to death a thousand times over, except for the newer Dvorak trade stuff. So I’m even less serious then usual and I’m typically not a super serious poster.

And the other poster’s original joke about not being allowed to trade the picks was genuinely funny to me but I realize NHL CBA-based humor might not be for everybody.
