Value of: Paul Byron

[HabsQC]

He'll stay for this year at least

 

[KingTech]

Is there any way Habs could convince LA to take it? What would be an offer LA can't refuse, or something that would be fair for them?

over payment is the only way i can see it. The only offer i would consider is a 1st and Caufield. Is that a over payment yes but to take over 10 million in cap and a 3 years of a roster spot that would be needed, La has the best prospect in the nhl However the kings could use elite defense prospect and elite goalie. I am not that familar with the habs prospects However i doubt montreal would pay what la would want.

Just say no to Byron. To even type in a first and caufield is just plain silly

I was asked what it would take as a offer to make me say yes, Your issue is not with me its with the person that asked me.

Byron
Primeau
1st (Montreal picks which 1st of theirs, over the next 3 drafts)

For

Hirose
Vegas 2022 45th

Detroit could include a goalie prospect if ya want one.

woah we don’t include Primeau.

 

[SlafCaufield]

At least two 2nds like when we traded Eller

or a late 1st

Uh. We traded Eller FOR two 2nds. We didn't give two 2nds to Washington to take him.

nothing you would be willing to give up. The Kings are loaded with good forward prospects and I would rather see the roster spots be left for them and not bring in someone that would just be blocking a spot. If he had a year left sure but with the term he has left I would not touch that.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I wouldn't expect two 2nds and 3rd if Byron only had 1 year left.

I think its just the combo of his term and FLA being mostly bottom 9 players up front, we are stock full of them so just doesn't make a ton of sense to take on another one and block our young prospects who are being promoted the next few years.

That DET offer is ridiculous. Yours is closer for sure but FLA shouldn't be interested

Cool with that!

Romanov can't be traded, but 1st + Primeau + Byron, could it do it?
Primeau is the heir of Price, as of right now. Thing is: we also have Allen right now, and Price, being one of the best, if not straight up the best goaltender in the league, he's not going to be replaced soon.

Look i was asked what it would take and i answered. Sorry you don't like my answer but oh well I ain't changing it. I already said no to the trade your fellow fan pushed it and i answered Your issue is with him not me.

your answer is irrelevant. well, maybe as entertaining, delusional speculation. No GM would EVER pay that. ever. but many posters don't live in the hockey reality of actual, NHL GM's

Stop right there this is a website for opinion and trade talk So if u don't like that you have the option to block me or not comment. I have every right to my opinion so buzz off if u can't respond civically I said it was a over payment that montreal wouldnt do in my post so i dont get where the butthurt comes from but i ain't taking it for answering a my opinion type question

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

montreal's answer is 'never'

Ok. That works.

 

[SlafCaufield]

lol yes exactly

a team would have to give us that to get byron lol smh

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

lol yes exactly

a team would have to give us that to get byron lol smh

What were you asking for when Domi was on the block?

 

[Mrfenn92]

lol yes exactly

No one would give.

I don't believe any team pays that price , it's just HF hype . I think the Habs will keep Byron and find other ways of moving cap space if/when needed .

I never once said they would only that is what it would take for me to agree

 

[Scintillating10]

Yo.

Love Paul Byron, he's a game, one of the better PK-er in the league, he's fast as the wind too.
However, he's paid at a cap hit of 3,4M$

He's good, but not 3,4M$/Y good.

Is there any bottom feader team who'd like to get paid to get that contract?

Obviously the goal of that trade is to make place on the pay roll, so we can't take any salaries back. However, our picks bank is full.

We could throw, for exemple, Tampa Bay's 2nd, Habs 2nd, Chicago's 3rd? Is this enough?

I would rather keep Byron.

 

[crowi]

What were you asking for when Domi was on the block?

Laine+ for Domi.

After Domi was traded he became a worthless player worth nothing though. Have to balance it out. Never trust anyone who only loves the player as long as they're on the team they are a fan of. These people have nothing worthwhile to say ever.

 

[TBF1972]

Primeau isn't going anywhere we could just pay Seattle to pick him.

every fan base of teams with cap problems seems to solve their problems with the expansion draft. i doubt every team will successfully achieve this. the kraken will have goals, other than helping capped out nhl teams.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

It doesn't make sense to try to trade Byron this offseason. He's valuable to the Habs as a roster player while they're hoping to compete. Meanwhile, no one will take him in a trade when, given the market, they can likely get a better UFA for less or similar $$.

Habs are better off keeping him and trading Weal. It's not as much cap savings but it's all they need for now. With only one year left, they'd still have to throw in a pick for someone to take him but it wouldn't be nearly as much.
