NHL 24/25 - Still did better than Vancouver

I think he's going to be good, and agree that at worst he becomes a Drouin type middle six. It just takes one bad injury or even coaching change to really mess up a player.

Speaking of Drouin, I'm hoping the Avs find a way to keep him, but he'd look great in a Penguins sweater.

And so much for that. Drouin to the Islanders.

That is 100% not true. As someone who watched & followed Lindros when he played in Oshawa, it was common knowledge that he wanted nothing to do with Marcel Aubut. Especially after Aubut insulted Lindros' mom, not realizing she is bilingual & understood every word he said.

I never said he didn't have a problem with the owner but he didn't want to play in Quebec.
 
I'm seeing that Ke'Andre Miller is being dealt from the Rangers to the Canes, but can't find for what.

People conveniently forget that it was the owner that Lindros didn't want to play for, not the team per sé.

Also, Colorado (formerly, Quebec) got Roy from the Canadiens after he refused to play for Tremblay any longer. That trade happened in 1995, four years after Lindros was drafted.

The two trades had nothing to do with each other.

I didn't know that (re: not wanting to play for the owner). I thought it was the market he didn't want to play in.

Agree on the Roy trade not being related though
 
My Spot said:
Nah Lindros didn't want anything to do with playing in a smaller market.
The two trades absolutely were related because one of the picks Quebec got from Philly was used on Thibault who was traded for Roy in 95.

I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. It's a draft pick they had as opposed to it being a specific draft pick.

If they were still in Quebec, the chance of Patrick Roy being traded to that franchise is in the negatives.

Able to provide more insight? This happened before I knew hockey even existed..

That's a no...

With the cap going up, I dont think that's a bad contract. Could turn out to be great.

Even if he turns into Drouin, a mid 6 forward, that contract won't be as crippling in 2-3 years.. Let alone 6-8.

Correct. He's only on the books for 800k this year and by the time this extension hits the books the overall cap will be easily over 100 million.

6 mil for a likely mid top 6 forward is not bad at all. The back half of his deal the cap will likely be pushing 120 million so very affordable

From what I read, he’s a player that Montreal needs. Despite not being the biggest dude, he plays mean and that’s what they need in their top 6. Outside of Juraj, it was all finesse there. Can’t have that if you want to beat Florida. Also, with the addition of Dobson, Mailloux became expendable. Now all that’s left is to trade Matheson.

I feel it’s a pretty fair trade. Mailloux has a lot of good qualities- size, good shot, not afraid to be physical, ran the PP a lot for Laval. But his hockey IQ, consistency and defense really needs massive improvement, and that was in the AHL let alone NHL. I also thought he was better last year than this year tbh. Agree Dobson trade made him more expendable, with him and Hutson Mailloux will never be on the PP in Montreal anyway

Bolduc had a really good 2nd half and finished with 19 goals as a rookie not playing a ton of mins. Blues have tons of wingers but an aging blue line and probably wanted a younger offensively talented dman since they have a lot of strong defense first players so I think this trade will benefit both teams. If they can help iron out his weaknesses he will help them for sure, but as of right now in this moment in time I’d say Bolduc is a better player since he’s more NHL proven, doesn’t have as many glaring weaknesses and he’s far from a finished product himself (same age/draft class)

Michael Pezzetta to TO, how the Habs fans feeling about that one?

Good replacement for Marner (0 points in 25 games this year)

He was a healthy scratch for most of the year and then the 5-10 mins he played half the time he’d get a penalty. He’s got heart and not afraid to hit/fight anyone but that’s it. He wasn’t even getting a lot of mins when the team was really bad let alone now. Maybe Toronto wants a younger Reaves type player? Otherwise don’t really understand it. He’s from there and grew up a Leafs fan so good for him
 
Just saw the return for K'Andre MIlller.

It was a sign and trade, Miller getting 8x7.5 (fucking insane if you ask me). Rangers get a 2nd next year, a conditional 1st or 2nd in 2026 (either Carolina's or Dallas' pick - top 10 protected - if both are top 10 in 2026, they get the lesser pick in 2027(convoluted as fuck), AND Scott Morrow (who was looked at as one of the Canes best prospects).

If Miller doesn't get his defensive mistakes fixed this could end up looking like a Nurse situation.

I don't think it's will be anywhere near as bad as nurse.

With the cap skyrocketing, 7.5m is like 5 million a year when nurse signed his deal, and he signed for 9.5m a year

overpaying the brockstar and demko and they should have traded demko because he's made of glass.

Boeser, Demko, Hughes... all of the Canucks' best players are American.

5 American forwards to 2 Canadian (including Kane)
3 American defensemen to 0 Canadian (in projected lineup)
Starting goalie American

It's the inverse of what you see in a lot of American teams. Should relocate to Vancouver, Washington.
