[3-Way Trade] Blue Jackets acquire Ivan Provorov; Flyers acquire Cal Petersen, Sean Walker, Helge Grans, 2023 1st-round pick, 2024 2nd-round pick, conditional 2024 2nd-round pick; Kings acquire Kevin Connauton, Hayden Hodgson

True. Beauvillier would be traded to get a 3C or a Dman with a similar cap hit. What would be the cost to dump Myers? -

Yup, that is the market now. Just to dump Beauvillier's contract will be a minimum 2nd round pick. I think Allvin is on the phone right now with Columbus before they make any more moves. IMO, Miller 100% is on the table for the 3OA... -

Wow, that's a high price to pay to dump $6 million in salary... -
Yup. They have enough young talent, they are now looking for the veteran guys to take them over the top. They still need a 1C and a goalie. Miller and Demko would be perfect for them. Give them 11OA so they still get a good prospect. I think Columbus would be all over Miller and 11OA for 3OA. If we also give them Demko we can take Peeke and maybe Sean Kuraly too...

They aren't dumping almost $8 million in salary for free. This deal makes no sense... -

This deal makes no sense: Some more details: Provorov to CBJ Walker, Petersen to Philly Kings will retain 30% of Provorov deal So Philly is trading Ivan Provorov to get Sean Walker and Cal Petersen? And who is going to LA? Nobody? -
[discussion] other teams’ buyout candidates
Elias Pettersson replied to Ted Lasso's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I agree. That is why we will be trading a winger so we can free up the cap space needed to upgrade the defence. I highly doubt we go into next season with Wolanin and Burroughs on the 3rd pairing. -

Elias Pettersson replied to Ted Lasso's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Only way we are moving cap space is for money in and money out deals. We aren't going to attach sweeteners to move a winger. If we are trading Beauvillier, Garland or Boeser then it will be for someone with a similar cap hit but for a needed position. -

Elias Pettersson replied to Ted Lasso's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
With a backup goalie, 7/8 Dman and a 4th line winger, we will have almost $2.5 million to sign a 3C. Pretty sure we are also gonna make a trade or two. One of Beauvillier, Garland or Boeser will be gone... -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Caufield
Elias Pettersson replied to goalie13's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Jack turned out alright. It's also easier to take a gamble on the #1 overall pick. Like you said sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The main point I think though is that Montreal didn't have to take all that risk on Caufield. Unlike Hughes who is now a legitimate 100-point centre, Caufield is a one-dimensional winger who scores goals. He really doesn't set up goals, he doesn't play defence and he doesn't kill penalties. He is someone that probably won't get much more that what he is getting now, even 3 years from now. I don't see him as a $10 million player. But hey, I could be wrong, we will see... One more point is you guys already took a gamble on a smaller player in Gallagher. I know he plays a different game than Caufield, but still that contract is going to age badly and not even sure that Gallagher will be able to finish the rest of the contract... -

Petey is a borderline Selke trophy candidate. Who is also a 100 point player. He’s a lot closer to Connor McDavid or Nathan MacKinnon than he is to Jack Hughes. -

Cole Caufield signed for the same amount as Kevin Fiala. Fiala was over a PPG and had 85 points when he signed his contract. He also signed for almost the exact contract as Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes was the #1 overall pick in the draft. He also signed for more than Tage Thompson. Tage Thompson is a 6’7” centre who had 38 goals before he signed his contract. Caufield also signed for only $500k less than Roope Hintz. Roope Hintz is the second coming of Patrice Bergeron. He also signed for only $350k less than Brady Tkachuk. Brady Tkachuk is a 6’4” power forward. I could go on and on. He is now the 10th highest paid winger in the entire NHL. You are a Montreal fan. Would you trade any of those above players for Cole Caufield straight up? I’m sure you’d run to the airport if you had the chance to get any one of those above players in a one for one deal with Caufield. Cole Caufield isn’t in the same stratosphere as Brady Tkachuk, Tage Thompson, Jack Hughes, Roope Hintz, Kevin Fiala. I mean any one of these guys would instantly be the best player on Montreal. By alot. And hey, I didn’t even need to mention Brock Boeser once in this post. -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Caufield
Elias Pettersson replied to goalie13's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
There are risks in every scenario I agree. I doubt a player like Caufield will demand a $10 million contract in 3 years. He’s just not that type of player to command that salary. He’s not Brayden Point. He’s a small one dimensional winger. And now he’s already had one major surgery. For a player who relies only on skill and his shot, having a major shoulder surgery is a big deal. Look at what’s happened to Boeser with his wrist injuries. His shot is not the same as it used to be. If you are a one dimensional winger like Boeser and Caufield then injuries are a big concern, especially if they affect your shot. It’s not like these players can be converted to 3rd line grinders and penalty killers to extend their careers. -

Another think to take into consideration is that doing a bridge deal followed by an 8 year extension effectively covers that player for almost his entire career, and certainly all of his prime years. However, if you do an 8 year extension without a bridge deal it takes that player to UFA at age 29. So then you are stuck in the same position as with JT Miller, having to pay that player top dollar into his late 30’s. So if you look at the macro approach and look at the big picture here, over the life of a player’s career you are not really saving money by skipping the bridge deal and going straight to an 8 year extension. Perfect example is Petey and Hughes. With Petey’s bridge deal we can now lock him up for 8 more years until he is 34. With Hughes, he will be a UFA at age 28 and can walk away and sign in New Jersey. So which is the better scenario? I’d rather pay more on the 3rd contract 8 year extension after a bridge deal and lock that player up until age 34 versus going straight to a longer term extension without that bridge deal and potentially losing that player at age 28-29. -

Boeser at $7 million for 4 more years would have handcuffed us big time. At least with his current deal he is probably tradeable next season. If he has a resurgence then we can re-sign him next summer to an extension. I doubt it will be much more than $7.5 million unless he is popping in 35-40 goals this year. Hughes and Petey were up at the same time. We didn't want to lock in both for 8 years. So we took a gamble on Hughes on a 6 year deal. It paid off and we have him for 4 more years. Even if he gets a raise on his next deal, I don't see it surpassing $10 million. It might be a $1.5-2 million bump max. As for Petey, he was coming off wrist surgery and had only played 21 games the year prior. The bridge deal IMO was the right call for him to offset the longer-term deal given to Hughes. Now that we know Petey is a superstar we can lock him up for 8 more years and get him for his entire prime until age 34. The cap will be going up significantly in the next 4 years, so even at $10.5 million his contract won't hurt us at all. Montreal should have done to Caufield exactly what Vancouver did with Petey, a 3-year bridge. Caufield also is coming off surgery and missed a ton of games this year. No reason to take all that risk on a small one-dimensional winger who can't defend and doesn't PK. It's not like his next contract would have been in the $10 million range. -

So, according to your logic we should have locked up Boeser to a 7.5x8 contract in 2019? His numbers were better than Caufield coming off his ELC and he finished 2nd in the Calder voting. You know how bad that contract would look now right? Also, Kyle Dubas really screwed over the Leafs with your logic. Matthews with only a 5-year extension and Marner with a 6-year extension. Just terrible mismanagement from Dubas really... -

Based on this signing I wouldn't trade Garland at all, noy yet anyways. Remember, Tocchet was his coach in Arizona. If Garland can get back to similar production as in Arizona then he is easily worth $6 million on the open market and we would be able to get a much better return for him. Like you said, maybe even a 1st round pick if he can hit 55-60 points... -

Caufield plays 3 more minutes a night than Garland and plays 50% more on the PP. Sorry, as of right now Garland is his comparable until otherwise noted. 36 points in 46 games. Garland put up 39 points in 49 games with Arizona when he had similar ice time. Plus, Caufield just had major shoulder surgery. Giving him 7.85x8 is a huge risk for Montreal. A bridge deal would have made way more sense. He is a small winger who doesn't even kill penalties. What do you think his market value will be in 3 years' time? $10 million? I doubt it will be any more than what he has signed for now. They are paying him now for future production. He certainly isn't worth almost $8 million today based on 36 points in 46 games...
