Hugues ship two uncoachable players…Good clean up!!!!
Funny I wonder if is happen often than same team do multiple 3-way trade in the same year (ɓonino too)
Crazy to see pittsburgh make a good move for once. Dubas seems good
Best part about this, and the cherry on top. Habs have 2 Firsts and 2 Second round picks in 2025….so far.
Kris letang, won the erik karlsson trade.
No they did not
Have a nice day
No. Answer’s no. They kind of make out the worst in this deal.
dubas trades look good IN THE SHORT TERM
can't move the contract? get me dubas on the line ill get you a first rounder
wait. who is left in net for pits?
Man. Montreal is looking more dangerous-er by the day!
Have you ever watched a hockey game?
Hoffman will mentor and shelter the kids in SJ? 🤣🤣🤣
I won't argue that all 3 teams came out at least ok on the trade. Having said that, I dont see Karlsson making Pittsburg a serious cup contender, but he may get them back in the playoffs. I would give Pittsburg a 2 year window before their core 3 starts fizzling out. Also, I don't see either San Jose or Montreal being a playoff team anytime soon.
Nice comment
Montreal did fine. They got a second round pick a bad AHL prospect, added a competent back up goalie and defenseman while shedding two of their extra forwards.
None of this is a coup but the redistribution of their cap is useful. They still need to shed as much of the extra 20 million they have in wingers as they can. They are 4.5 million over the cap but of course carey price gives them an extra $6 million to work with. I'll be happier when the team has $26 million in extra cap space.
San jose retained 1.5 for Karlson and pittsburgh retained 1.5 odd million on Petry.
Mike Hoffman isn't the one you want to mentor the young players on your team. He's the one you endure on the team cause he's good at scoring goals and if he's not scoring goals…
Unless Pit wins the cup this coming season,the winners are the Habs and then San Jose.EK is a defensive liability who has had one good season in the last several years.Big gamble by Dubas based on very little evidence.He had better hope Jarry can stay healthy and stand on his head.
I think it was a reality check for fans. Karlsson was worth much more, but other factors in the salary cap era greatly reduce a players trade value. 1. NTC's or NMC's limit where you can trade a player and typically Players and Agents use this to prevent a Player going to a team that is not contending. 2. Every team that is contending has salary cap management challenges and cannot take on a big contract without the trade partner, or a 3rd party taking on their cap issues.
Bottom line, sheer genius by Hughes move an untradeable Player without retaining salary and getting tangible assets in return…and he's not done yet!
Didnt Petry want out of Montreal? He must be thrilled to come back
As a Habs fan, im liking the style of Kent Hughes more and more I see the way he works. Well done.
I understand the excitement of Canadian fans over the trade, but it may be exaggerated. I think getting rid of Hoffman was a good move. Also, getting Petrie back beefs up the defense, and all the early picks should help down the road. Montreal definitely is on an upswing but am predicting they won't make the playoffs this coming season.
Petry won't last in MTL
Hoffman is no mentor…in any way
Granlund and Hoffman are also trade chips for SJ
And one who can move Hoffman and get a pick is a genus.
1.Canadiens
2.Sharks
3.penguins
Note:It’s rebuild time for the penguins
Pitt won this trade. Anyone saying otherwise is copium.
