Speculation: 2023 UFA| Should we target someone?
- Thread starter Belial
- Start date
Yeah, some RFA's in there... I thought CapFriendly will only list UFAs.
You can still give your opinion instead no?
Nobody moves the bar long-term and Bergevin's legacy 3 amigos don't leave any roster spots anyways barring sending Slaf or one of the young D to Laval to create a spot, In that case, probably take on a contract for picks or take a flyer on a young waiver player instead of the UFA market unless it is to overpay on a 1 year deal to flip at the deadline.

nothing worthy.
Team is not ready at all.
We already have 2 goalies unless we trade one.
Harris Guhle JackEye Edmundson Savard Matheson Barron (more rookies and wideman)
Caufield-Suzuki-Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher-Evans-Dach-Hoffman-Armia-Pitlick-Slaf (they are not smart enough to send him in the AHL) , Ylonen
thats 12 forwards already
Let's say Pitlick and slaf goes ahl that's 10.
Pezetta and Gurianov are RFA if they decide to sign both we have 12.
Perhaps 1-2 rookie make it.
Our roster is pretty full unless we trade but those Ufas are not looking good at all and they are not what we need right now.

Would rather we use money this year on taking on another Monahan type contract and get some assets back

Killorn 27 goals and guy I would target. It's free 65 points. Character and leadership too. With 2 Cup rings.
Talk on Facebook Perry wants come back here. Kind of neutral on this one. Unless they can get big haul for Anderson. Perry size and grit, would fill some of his void

They'll sign fringe pieces but no, they will use their cap space to accumulate more assets as this is the last year to really do it before the cap grows.
I would sign Killorn if he agrees on a 2-year deal 3 years max.
Great role model for all the hustlers we have.
Depends on the money of course. He'll probably look for big bucks...

It really depends on how Hughes operates from now until FA starts. Will Hughes make any trades? Will he sell and retain on a (now healthy) Eddy? Will he move 37pt man Josh Anderson? Dvorak? Will he make any hockey move at the draft? Cole Caufield will he be signed? Monahan on a super cheap contract? What of Pierre-Luc Dubois? I don't think they'll enter the season with as weak and impotent a forward line as they did last season. I think we'll see some hockey additions. Hughes and MSL didn't seem like they want to tank for year another year.
But if they go for cap flexibility and some light tanking -- can they, for instance, sell Dvorak and sign Eller on a one year deal as a gapstop?
We are near our contract limit too, it seems.
Who would I want? Assuming we have no big surprise moves coming up, I'd offer a deal to Pacioretty actually. If we can acquire PLD, and sign Pacioretty and Monahan to injury-bonus heavy deals our forward corps will be much better albeit super brittle. The brittleness doesn't matter, we won't be seeking playoff glory next year but as long as they don't hurt we will have good scoring depth and can inflate the point totals of our players and raise their trade value for the deadline.

What's your problem with guys like Dvorak and Anderson?
These guys are your support cast, they're not supposed to get you 100 points for god sake...
Dvorak makes less than 5M... but you shit on him like he was making 9M!

I'm sorry, I was under the impression you wanted to initiate a conversation about the Habs roster planning.

Unlikely. I don't even see them exploring the RFA offer sheet route. They're going to maintain course and speed.

Please point out where I've 'shit on' Dvorak.You just have to answer with the same vibe and we're rolling
Neither Dvorak or Anderson are part of this team's core, therefore they're both liable to be traded away. I didn't figure it's a controversial statement.
Come on man, you think Dvorak is useless... this is not news here
Maybe not totally useless, but for sure totally heartless. You don’t want that surrounding kids on a rebuilding team.
Anderson is more of a question of selling while value is high as he might not be in top shape once the team contends.
Flowers to you for the beautiful collage!
You have no idea what you're talking about mate!
Didn't even know Dvorak smiled!
Cole makes people smile!

I would sign Mathieu Olivier to bring toughness and to no put all the tough guy pressure on Xhekaj
They only one I'd give a call to. To have a role model for the boys in the locker room, it'd be worth it. 2-3 years. I reckon he will get more than that on the market but I'd shoot my shot.

f***, I forgot that Caufield would be a Packers fan.
What a beauty.

I didn’t know he had such bad taste…
That’s actually a fair point and analysis. Add him to my exclusive list of targets
. Killorn and Olivier then.Ad
