Picked Chiarot, Petry, and Anderson.
Would totally be fine moving Gallagher, Drouin, Price, Toffoli, or Hoffman as well.
In fact, trade any of them if they bring back positive value (including Suzuki).
The ones you would have to pry from my cold dead hands are Suzuki and uhhhhhh ....

At the TDL ?
Chiarot
Lehkonen
Kulak
With the flat cap, teams need to move money if they trade for player with terms, especially teams that are contending so they trade for rentals. We won’t see much player traded with term, that will be more in the offseason.

Unfortunately, there's no one in Laval to step in and take the spots for guys they might move out. I picked my top 3, but just contract wise, it should be Gallagher, Price and Byron. I don't see them fetching much at all, and I definitely see salary retained on the first 2, but it needs to happen.
This team needs to shed players and salary and get whatever assets they can.

I embrace the tank, but we can't realistically unload all of our best guys, we don't want a losing culture like Buffalo, Edmonton or Arizona. It is damn hard to get out of. I would've traded Petry years ago but even tho he currently sucks we don't really have anyone to replace him.
As for Byron, he now has much more value to us than in any trade.
So I went with Chiarot, Armia and Allen.
Chiarot could actually fetch us a nice return. As for Armia, I love him but he's easily replaceable.

All of those moves at the deadline? I'd be impressed no matter what the return is.
But think about it... how long will it take to move all or most of those guys you mentioned? This is kind of my point with those who are desperate for a tank. We all see it but what we see differently is how long it takes.
Anderson to me is a keeper. Even though he's not a perfect power forward, he's an asset under contract and that contract will age well. To me, he is part of our 3+ year core. These types are not easy to find. if you trade Anderson, we better get a younger asset who is very good. Pry-away value!

Agreed. And this is why I created this thread. Some fans in our herd need to chill. We are not having a liquidation sale that quickly with the circumstances of a flat cap at play. Even in the off season, we might be able to move some guys but it's not going to be as easy as some think it is.

I voted for the same three ones. I think they all have decent value on the trade market. Petry seems easier to move than Gallagher or Price given term and position, the later being quite impossible to move.
Hmmmm ... Ok Chiarot is an given. With the year he is having the return may well outweigh his actual value, besides have ample LHD developing on the system. Same holds true regarding Kulak. My next choice would be Toffoli. Based on last years production and that he is playing out of position, I believe the return could be substantial. I want to let Savard go but that position is hardly a strength for the organization. I wonder could Brooks be any worse? If not move on from Savard too.

Haha I put the Top-3 as priority to move, but I'd move anyone. Gallagher would probably be high on the list but I'm not sure we can even move him. If someone wants him though, for sure let him go.
Anderson to me is a classic case of having all the tools but none of the work ethic/drive. If he played as hard as day... Lehkonen, he'd be one of the best players. He's a very Rene Bourque guy for me. He could be so much more than what he is. But my hope would be that someone sees him like you do and we can get a really good return. But that's just my opinion.
I'm also not desperate for a tank. I'm desperate for Bergevin to be fired. If he was fired and we start winning tomorrow, all is good with me. However, I just don't see it with this roster.
My point is that no player should ever be untouchable. Ever. It's a dumb word.
My other point is that I'm open to trading anyone here because there's not much to build from on the roster.

A lot of those options are new contracts and won't be moved for a variety of reasons.
Chiarot will likely bring us the best return. With our luck he'll tear his ACL in January.
Lehkonen and Kulak may be more attractive than some of those big contracts. Not sure why Evans is on the list.

We already have a losing culture. We are on our way to miss the playoffs for the 5th times in the last 7 years.

No we don't. We just got to the SCF with a shitty team while coming back from 3-1 against the Leafs.
The team is bad, but it has a winning culture.

So one fluke scf erase 5 years of missing the playoffs in 7 years? Don't think i agree with that at all but well let's just agree to disagree then.

You're confusing the team's talent with the team's culture. The team sucks, but it has a winning culture.

Picked Chiarot, Byron and Armia, but to be honest.... I dont see any of them being the key to a rebuild.
There are some that are more difficult to let go, simply because finding a replacement may be harder. Gally, Anderson, Petry are among these. And here I'm not speaking of contract situation but role in the roster.

Chiarot, Kulak and Lehkonen…obvious candidates, though Toffoli and Hoffman are attractive options given their affordable contracts.
That being said, the way this Habs season is going, I expect all of one of Chiarot, Kulak and Lehkonen to be injured and the Habs will miss out on any trade value.
going to knock on wood now
