Emelin first, his cap hit is too high for a bottom pairing dman and he brings about nothing to the game other than a hit or two a game.

I'd give Gilbert til the deadline to get his **** together and then if he sucks just as much as he has been since we've singed him he's gonzo.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Depends.

How confident are you in Beaulieu?

 

[OldCraig71]

I want a goal scorer no matter who we send somewhere.

 

[Alex514]

I think Tinner and Emy are on their way out this summer.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

I think Tinner and Emy are on their way out this summer.

It'd be rather dumb to trade both of them. Unless a team wants them both specifically for a top 6 winger

Emelin makes the most sense, but he's better than most people are giving him credit for. Most of the time anyways.

 

[JusticeBeaver]

Does Emelin have a full NTC?

Factor that with the way MB likes his dmen, not sure if he is moved so easily.

I think they keep Tinordi as well, they confirmed he's still in the plans.

 

[Tyson]

Depends.

How confident are you in Beaulieu?

Beaulieu has over 100 games of experience. The more he plays the better he performs. He is ready 16-18 minutes of play including PP time. Time to remove the training wheels

 

[Tyson]

Emelin has a full NTC...won't be easy, if at all possible.
Tinordi is 3rd on the young player depth chart behind Beaulieu and Pateryn. He is as good as gone. He has had his chances...he simply can't handle the speed of NHL skaters...
With Dietz developing nicely (I expect he will be one of the last cuts again) Tinordi missed his chance

While I agree with the idea of the post he does not have 100 games yet.

 

[Alex514]

Does Emelin have a full NTC clause for the duration of his contract or is it just the first year or two like Markov

 

[GoodKiwi]

While I agree with the idea of the post he does not have 100 games yet.

He has 99 I think.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

It's likely Gilbert.

Montreal is strong on the right side with Subban and Petry. Gilbert makes too much for what he brings and should be easily replaced by Pateryn.

My guess is it will be:

Markov - Subban
Emelin - Petry
Beaulieu - Pateryn
Tinordi

Markov's minutes will be reduced this year as well.

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Full NTC this year (and last) and partial in the last 2 years of his deal.

I'm raelly not even sure why people think dealing Emelin makes sense, he played well in the playoffs, he's physical, and without him the left side looks really weak.

On the other hand, with the way Pateryn played in the playoffs as well as his very team freindly cap hit next season, along with Gilbert having just a year at under 3 million making Gilbert a decent trade chip and it actually makes a lot of sense to deal Gilbert.

Beaulieu-Subban
Markov-Petry
Emelin-Pateryn

I'd say use Tinordi as the #7, but I'd rather just see them deal him at this point so he gets a chance wtih a new organization.

 

[habtastic]

It depends more on the offered returns than the player IMO.

Who they'll consider moving?

Emelin
Gilbert
Pleks (though I seriously hope we don't Ninimaa this if it happens)

Who in my dreams they'd prioritize moving (not cuz I hate him, just...he's gotta go):
Double Dees.

Drewiskie is gone for sure

 

[GoodKiwi]

Drewiskie is gone for sure

Drewiskie was a weird charity case with us. Picked him up and basically paid him for two years not to play.

P.S. I know, he was injured.

Parenteau before Emelin by a mile...

Parenteau is not a dman

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Parenteau is not a dman

They don't need to necessarily deal a dman to open up cap space though?

 

[Le depisteur]

Parenteau is not a dman

And ???

Don't know if you watched any games but Emelin was not a bottom pairing defenseman and, in fact, his ice time went up during the playoffs.

 

[angry pirate]

Gilbert is the easier move. Manageable cap hit, no term. But I think MB tries to move Emelin first. He's a middle pairing D-Man, paid as such, who's probably fallen to number 5 on our depth chart thanks to the Petry signing and Beaulieu's progression.

If MB can move Emelin he will. If not, than it'll be Gilbert.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I'd seriously consider moving markov before his value gets too low. I think he could help a young team like Edmonton

Emelin has a full NTC that Bergevin gave him (til next Summer at least).
