HF Habs: The Official hawks race to a better 2nd round pick Thread

[Runner77]

Next should be Plekanec

For god sakes dont let Bergevin make the trade for Pacio

Bergevin is trying to build his confidence with these tepid trades involving scrubs and late picks.

"Geoff, I'm back to building through the draft."

Meantime, at Molson headquarters ...

I think its excellent value for a spare part backup.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lindgren is still developing. While Price is here, I'd rather Lindgren play 60 games in Laval. Better that than 20 games in the NHL and sitting on the bench most nights.

Pretty sure Lindgren has a one way contract next season. He's on a 2 way this year. One more year in the AHL and he's Price's backup next season.

 

[Whitesnake]

By the way, expect a 5th rounder. Only 4 back-to-back till the end of season for the Oilers. We need for Talbot to struggle a lot...and for Montoya to show that he could help them because Talbot sucks. 'Cause everything else means a 5th rounder.

Back up goalies are a dime a dozen. They were able to replace Montoya with Niemi -- it's not a huge loss, Niemi's performance in the few games he appeared in, was adequate.

According to habsprospects.com he doesn't need to pass through waivers next year.

Waivers Infos - Habs Prospects

They could be wrong. But whether he's on a one way or a two way is irrelevant for waiver considerations.

 

[PriceIsGod]

Good deal, just makes sense honestly. Hopefully somehow Oilers end up bombing the season and Montoya ends up hitting the 7 game mark so it becomes an early fourth. Doubt that happens but it would obviously be very nice.

 

[bryan1966]

Potential 4 top 100 picks.

After tonight we have 5 top 100 picks, Sergachev played game 40 tonight, so 1 x 1st, 3 x 2nd and 1 x 3rd so far, hopefully our GM will be adding a few more picks

I want Lindgren to develop as best as possible so that we either have an option if we trade Price, or we trade Lindgren. Lindgren can't lose in terms of development if he plays 60 games in Laval next year. There's no rush to have him sit the pine behind Price. If Lindgren comes off the bench cold and sucks, he will lose trade value.

Let's say Talbot gets injured midgame and Montoya replaces him, does that still count as a game?

 

[Bacchus1]

If Montoya is a back-up during 7 games with the Oil, is that considered "playing".

I think that if he is on the starting roster it is considered playing. I don’t think it means starts, or getting wins/losses. But maybe someone with better understanding of tvese rules ould answer.

Yup, my bad. Hopefully more to come as well.

Timmins has been good in the 5th round anyways: Gallagher and Hudon were 5th round picks. Reway, Mete, and Nygren were 4th rounders. He's been better in the 5th!

 

[Le Tricolore]

Sure. He was fine here but nothing amazing. More picks are always nice.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I'm surprised we got anything back. Nice.

NHL Entry Draft Picks - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

If Montoya plays 7 games, and if LAK makes the Playoffs, we could have 8 picks in the top 128 (just a little over 4 rounds), possibly 7 in the top 100. And that's before the firesale that could happen if MB assumes a tank.

 

[Habaneros]

What i said yesterday...You keep Nem and bye bye to Al Mon, if you're going into tank mode....and next season it now opens the door to Charlie

 

[TT1]

good, now do this with Pacioretty

 

[Habaneros]

I'm surprised we got anything back. Nice.

considering we got a 2nd for Halak...nothing for Condon...ya a 4th is better than nuttin

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Good value even if we only end up with the 5th

 

[Runner77]

Timmins has been good in the 5th round anyways: Gallagher and Hudon were 5th round picks. Reway, Mete, and Nygren were 4th rounders. He's been better in the 5th!

That's also what Bergevin does while the Habs are cratering -- takes the 5th.

 

[Habaneros]

good, now do this with Pacioretty

Pacioretty to the Oilers for a 4th????
