Seems a good backup plan , Tatar is almost PPg this year

 

[Lockin17]

he's not leaving for cheap assets

You tell ‘em!

 

[Avsboy]

Dater has some hits. He was right that Avs would be in on Panarin, months before UFA day. Also, Montreal and Colorado have heavily scouted each other.

 

[MXD]

That's weird. The logical fall-back option on the Habs (for Kreider) would be Kovalchuk, not Tatar. Oh well....

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

We could retain him down to 2.65 for this year and next but I'd imagine it would have to include Newhook or Timmins as a starting point

Retention adds no value for the Avs. Colorado has the cap space and the money.

Ya so in other words no point in retaining.

Retention adds no value for the Avs. Colorado has the cap space and the money.

It would also apply to next year though, wasn't sure what Colorado's cap was looking like next year, or what their free agency plans might be. Plus gives them leeway to make additions at the deadline next year.

Colorado has a large amount of cap space next year, but they are trying to preserve space for large future extensions that come due for Landeskog and Makar (after 2020-2021) and subsequently MacKinnon.

Colorado's cap isn't an issue for the next 4 years (until Mackinnon needs to re-up).

Montreal just retained on Scandella and aren't allowed to retain for more than 2 players...assuming Bergevin sells more than one other player, he'd be better to use that retention slot with another team than Colorado even if Tatar is going there.

 

[Michoulicious]

Colorado does not need retaining.

Kreider will be a Bruin, Tatar will go to Colorado. Book it.

 

[Spilot23]

I saw a facebook post from RDS saying that Bergevin was in Denver to scout. Boy I read the comments. Someone suggested Tatar and Kovy for a 1st, Newhook and Timmins or someone straight up Byram. It was a funny read though. Anyway what does Habs fans expect to get for Tatar?

I believe you can retain on 3, but fair enough.

1rst + Kaut
or
2nd + Newhook

Otherwise, we're keeping him.

I mean I'd love that kind of package.

Realistically something similar to 1st + Timmins. But not sure how willing Sakic would be to do that

 

[Avaholic29]

Isn't Dater a hack?

No. Some avs fans like to think so but he hasn't been wrong or blatantly wrong about anything he's reported in a while. Avs are pretty a tight lip organization too so he's working with what he's got.

Krieder to the Blues
Tatar to the Avs
Palmieri to the Bruins

 

[logik47]

Newhook/Timmins+1st

Burakovsky+Timmins+2nd (trade a la Pacioretty/Stone)

 

[jfhabs]

Someone nobody's really talking about from the Habs that could be of interest is Joel Armia. He's a big body who can play up and down the line up, signed cheap for an extra year. Is on pace for 20+ goal this year. I could see him fetch a 1st+ quite easily with the trades from the past few days.
Tatar is probably too important for the team to trade him right now. I would think they keep him for next year and re-evaluate.

Not impossible. STL certainly needs a top 6 LW.

Okay Bergevin. Thank you for letting HF know what's up

No way Armia gets traded. Guy gets an extension on July 1st.

Considering the market,
Tatar for 1st + Timmins + Zadorov/Jost/Kaut/Graves

I would be ok with just 1st + Timmins, but with how the recent trades have gone, the habs could definitely get more for tatar.
