Really? You wanna spend 3 million on a backup so out goaltending will be close to 14 million??It seems both McBackup and Mrazek will be UFAs. Good options there for a backup goalie.
I’ll pass

Puljujarvi and the Oilers 2nd for Byron. Not sure I would do this or not. Would you? I hear they are looking for a 3rd line player cause their depth sucks. I don't see any team trading an asset like Byron straight up for Puljujarvi.
I don't really care for Puljujarvi but I would be willing to see how he fits our team. The 2nd and 38th pick would be what I am after!
I would definitely do this. But I can't see the Oilers giving up futures for 30 year old Byron.
Id love a Puljujarvi + Nurse trade!We’re the right fit!
Honestly, I don't think they do it either but that's the offer and I'm not even sure I would do it. The 38th OA does make me think about it though. I don't consider Puljujarvi a future value at this point though. More of a player that I would be curious about on how he fits with a new team.
They really have three choices.
1) A Nylander for Pulujuarvi (dissapointment for dissapointment)
or
2) A proven top 9 forward who produces and is on a value contract with a pick for Puljujarvi
or
3) Ignore his request of being traded and try him out with a new coach one more season.
So Edler re-signs and we pretty much have to go all in on Ghost, eh?
Gardiner, Ghost, Leddy, Brodie, Brodin, Goligoski, Matheson (yuck).
I still can't believe the Islanders are shopping Leddy. What do they want in return?

Would our 1st + Byron + Juulsen/Fleury do it?
The thing about Byron is: where does he fit on this team? He's not been good with Kotkaniemi. He's not been good with Domi and Shaw or Domi and Drouin. He's always good with Danault, but Julien doesn't seem like he's ready to break up Tatar-Danault-Gallagher any time in soon. I'd take the early 2nd and replace Byron's place in the top 12 with Suzuki or a ufa, if we can find one at a reasonable cap hit.
Plus we need to get bigger and Domi, Gallagher, and Shaw are ahead of him on the totem pole. And Drouin will continue to get chances. And Suzuki's on the way.
I assume a good top 6 winger if they are indeed losing Anders Lee to free agency.

I mean who do they want from us?
Nurse is a vital piece for Edmonton...no way he gets moved.Id love a Puljujarvi + Nurse trade!

NO! Just No!Same here. If the price is right, I’d like to take a swing at Gardiner. Who knows? Maybe he’ll become decent defensively playing with a real defenceman in Weber.
Tatar has made a name for himself in Montreal, it'd be a shame to lose him.Tatar for Leddy is a solid trade where both sides have to swallow a bitter pill.
Lavoie is a clown!boom boom lavoie saying habs priority right now is a backup goalie

Can somebody tell me why Meier would accept an offersheet from us?

Money.
Sharks can't offer him all that much right now. Likely will offer something around 5.5-6M AAV, if you offer up say...5 years at 8M AAV or something like that, it takes him straight to FA + higher salary. (Taxation will be similar between California & Quebec, so no impact there).
Also, the Sharks' core is much much older, whereas the Habs' forward group is the second youngest in the league. Plus he played in the Q so he knows what it's like to play in Quebec.
