LeBrun: Thinks the Habs May Be In the Offer-Sheet Game.

[Roadhouse]

lol of course its the RFA with a french name.

That's not a French name. Leblanc, sure. Leblond, yeah ok. Laliberté, also from there.

Labanc is bogus, it sure as **** ain't French.

 

[Edgy]

I can imagine Bergevin Offersheet a 4th liner

his speciality

But then he can't get a 5th round pick. How won't be able to sleep if that happens.

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

Habs bout to offersheet Marner.

Can you imagine?

I could 100% bergevin giving an offersheet to the 3rd or 4th best RFA instead of the best one just to spite a division rival.

The way I see it the RFA forwards are in 2 tiers

Tier 1:
Point
Rantanen
Marner
Aho
Laine

Tier 2:
Everyone else but I think Connor and Tkachuk are a lot closer to that first tier than the rest.

As a leaf fan I am okay with a team giving marner an offer sheet as long as its 11m. It would suck to lose the home town kid but the team can manage. I think there are better targets for the habs but hey if you wanna do it MB go nuts.

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

It's actually a Slovakian name.

Learn something new every day

Labanc is bogus, it sure as **** ain't French.

Maybe MB has just been reading it wrong?

 

[Sota Popinski]

Sharks match anything under 6.

No, I'm pretty sure they would rather have a 1st and a 3rd than pay Labanc 5.75 million per year. But that's academic because no one would offer him that kind of money.

See below.

Once Armia and Lehky are signed for roughly 5 million for both we will have roughly 3.5 mill remaining.

Add to that a possible backup at 1.5 mill and you are left with 2 million.

What in blazes can we do with 2 mill as an offer sheet?

Lebrun smoking again that legal spliff!

 

[koyvoo]

Can you imagine him signing it? I can't.

Maybe the Marner feels it would be the only way to get the leafs to pony up the type of money their chasing. A leverage tool.

 

[FerrisRox]

no GM is sacrificing 4 first rounders for anyone but McDavid

I would happily surrender four first round picks for Brayden Point on a 7-year deal.

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

It's actually a Slovakian name.



I would personally let Labanc go for an unprotected 1st from a team that drafted 15th and 3rd in the past two years.

The Habs won’t be a non-playoff team for much longer. If we were in the west, we would’ve been the 6 seed.

 

[IPS]

I could see the Habs sneakily dropping a bomb and signing Provorov to a sheet. This is their chance to get their Andrei Markov 2.0 for a decade for picks.

You don't "sign" a player to an offer sheet. The player themself signs the offer sheet.

 

[Smif]

Habs bout to offersheet Marner.

Can you imagine?

I'd be pretty happy getting their next 4 picks.

 

[Canadienna]

I'd be pretty happy getting their next 4 picks.

What about a 2nd round pick for Kapanen @ 4m?

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Rumor was they almost threw one out on Draisaitl.. That's what drove his price up

Rumour has it that I almost have the greatest **** in the world

 

[amnesiac]

I would happily surrender four first round picks for Brayden Point on a 7-year deal.

youd get fired

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Id be all over Labanc and/or Kapanen

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Habs bout to offersheet Marner.

Can you imagine?

Well it would be good for the rivalry

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Wrong.

You can go through almost any team and find a recent 4 year span where you'd gladly take Marner or Point then the guys taken.

 

[MikeK]

Wrong.

You can go through almost any team and find a recent 4 year span where you'd gladly take Marner or Point then the guys taken.

Sure. That's why we see it all the time.

 

[koyvoo]

Wrong.

You can go through almost any team and find a recent 4 year span where you'd gladly take Marner or Point then the guys taken.

I agree with this. I’ve always had the opinion that 8-9 out of 10 times, four consecutive 1sts generally won’t get you a Marner/Point caliber player. But it’s HF. Futures and picks are way overvalued here.

I don’t think offersheets happen because it’s almost an unwritten rule amongst GMs. Highly frowned upon at the very least and you could blackball yourself by falling out of favour with the other GMs across the league.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

That's not a French name. Leblanc, sure. Leblond, yeah ok. Laliberté, also from there.

Labanc is bogus, it sure as **** ain't French.

Im dead

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You want loyalty, buy a dog.

Or steal it.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

2020 draft in Montreal, no way MB gives up his 1st unless he has a plan up his sleeve to aquire another one

I wouldnt bet any of my own money the guy can walk and chew gum at the same time so don't think he could pull off a mulit-layered transaction

Needs to call in Kevin Costner from Draft Day

 

[amnesiac]

Wrong.

sure, but who will have the guts to do it? Theres a reason why its never acutally happened since Scott Stevens.... 29 years ago

yes, there were the Weber and Vanek deals more recently, but were matched

 

[DFC]

Point would be their obvious target. At worst it ****s with our cap.

Only crap that is right there's no way they don't have a first pick for next year. Only way this could happen would be if they offersheet someone and trade Drouin for a first pick.
