Whatever the outcome of these playoffs

Montreal should really make a push for McDavid (if he signs a extension)

I think if you unloaded 3 prospects and two first rounders, Edmonton would consider it.

Personally I think that guy is done with Edmonton, it's the same story every year.

I could also see SJ make a move for him.

Huh? Why? SJ have the best collection of forward prospects in the league right now and they won the #2 pick in the lottery last night, what they need is stud d-men.

Because none of those prospects are Connor Mcjesus

Also they have so much cap space

Do we need to remember what Celebrini and McDavid did together at the Olympics
 
Sa ne ferais aucun sens, ils ne sont même pas rendus au processus d'être en série.Ils ont la pire défense de la ligue. Dans 5-6 ans, ils seront peut-être prêts.

De toute façon, mettre 15-20% de ta masse sur un seul joueur, ça ne garantit pas une coupe Edmonton 4 joueurs pour 50% de la masse 🤣🤣
 
La Caroline va, fort probablement, avoir fini sa 2ième ronde le lendemain que Montréal et Buffalo aient disputé leur deuxième match, ça fait aucun sens.

Je sais pas où je lisais ca mais depuis l'instauration du plafond salarial ca l'air qu'aucune équipe avec des allstars à 12m$+ a gagné la coupe.

Je dis 12M$ mais c'était pas 12M$ c'était en % par rapport au plafond probablement genre 15% anyway le fait est que ca ne semble pas être une stratégie gagnante d'avoir des all stars qui bouffent le plafond salariale.

J'imagine que le nerf de la guerre c'est de réussir à trouver des allstars-to-be qui ne sont pas encore payé le salaire de McDavid mais qui ont le potentiel de l'être, c'est pas mal la direction du CH en ce moment.

All I’m saying is, if Montreal had a player like Connor McDavid on the team, it’s undeniable that it would help. He’s the best player in the league, has elite playoff experience, and the players around him are naturally going to elevate their game.

And honestly, if it’s only going to cost a couple of draft picks and some prospects, why not make the move? Montreal is entering a clear win-now window, and with the current core they’ve built, it makes sense to take that kind of swing.

The salary cap is going up next year, and Montreal is already projected to have over $9 million in cap space to work with, even with a few RFAs needing new deals.

You’d also have to consider moving contracts like Matheson, Gallagher, and Monty around to make things work financially.

That said, if I’m Montreal, the current core pieces are completely untouchable.

Now obviously Edmonton is still in win now mode too, but when you really look at their roster construction, lack of draft capital, limited young talent coming through, and some of the contracts they’re carrying, that team feels like a mess long term. I genuinely think Connor sees that as well.

With that current structure, I don’t see him staying in Edmonton two years from now. So from Edmonton’s perspective, they either take the risk and go all in with him, or eventually risk losing him for nothing.

dans ma famille etendue tout le monde disait que la caroline allait se faire arreter par les senateurs et qu'ils n'avaient aucune chance de progresser vers la coupe, toute sorte d'arugments que leur division etait poche et que c'est pour ca que leur fiche etait aussi bonne...

j'etais pas d'accord, ils ont une equipe avec de l'experience, ils sont physiques, etc

je trouve que les Sens leur ont donne plus de fil a retorde que Philly.

I disagree. For McDavid? The best player on the planet by a wide margin that is only 29 years old?

Suzuki and Hutson are the absolute no-go untouchables on this team.

For McDavid, I'd be willing to part from one of Caufield or Demidov (One, not both), a high-end prospect like Hage and a bunch of first round picks (Say 3)

Caufield, man I don't like what I'm seeing with regards to playoff hockey. He just might be too small and soft to ever be an impact player at even strength in the playoffs.

So a 50 goal scorer, a high end prospect and 3 first round picks for McDavid and you might have a deal here.

For me for Cole to be a efficient playoff performer, he needs two power forwards to give him more space because I do agree. When it comes to that playoff style hockey. Seeing him chase the puck and force a D for a turn over, you're just wasting your energy. That being said, he has one of the best shots in the game.

If I was Montreal, I wouldn't touch the core but prospect like Hage, Reinbacher, Fowler, draft capital.. I would honestly consider it.

I'm not ready to give up on Demidov yet, at times we see signs of brilliance from that guy especially from a rookie.
