With the extended rosters there's no need to trade Kulak even if he doesn't play one game
- Fredobbface

I agree.... although we all know, he will play

Probably in and out with guys like Juulsen, Mete, Romanov, Fleury

Looks like KK will pick up where he left off last summer, good starting point. Habs will need Suzuki and KK to continue progressing this year., they are key elements to making the playoffs

ouin...mais au coin de la 20 pis de la 30 c'est tout le temps jammé...

La 20 va etre élargie à 3 voies pour les travaux du pont-tunnel et c'était dans les promesses de la CAQ la 30 à 3 voies

Of the reports it wasn't the goals and play making that I was happy to hear about as much as him continuing to be a physical force. Be nice to have finesse in Suzuki, crushing d from Danault and physical power forward from Kotkaniemi down the middle. Great balance and allows you to make for advantageous matchups

I thought Danault was getting traded in a package for PLD?

I did suggest him as part of the poop sandwich offer for obvious reasons including cap space...I like Danault but wouldn't hesitate to move him in a pack for PLD. I believe Kulak was another piece for cap reasons who again I like but wouldn't think twice to include for PLD. But the package I suggested was a poop sandwich and I made that clear

I think it would take Kotkaniemi +

Danault, Romanov and a 1st for PLD


I say no

- Symba007

Yea it's unlikely at best and Danault as the main piece certainly doesn't even come close

Merci Gaston
- Fredobbface

ça fait ben trop de sens pis c'est ben trop détaillé pour être une analyse de Gaston

ça aurait été plus du genre:

"Les gars ont bien patiné dans un exercice de patin ce matin"

I think it would take Kotkaniemi +
- obie

They'd probably want that and the plus would be a big deciding factor but frankly they're in a position of weakness and the Habs don't owe them poop so I'd either low ball them with a poop sandwich or walk away. Habs are better with PLD but don't need him, especially if Kotkaniemi develops as you'd hope

Can you lotto protect that first? If so I really have to consider that

PLD seems like he's on pace to be a very Getzlaf/Eric Staal kind of guy. Hard to find a 6'3+ imposing 1st line centre that seems to find a new gear in the playoffs.

you are mostly used to losing a few gears in the playoffs

Sorta the way Kotkaniemi looked in the playoffs last year? I like and want PLD but don't think Habs need to do CLB any favours. And again if it was straight up and fit the cap I'd probably do it, whatever the mysterious + is really matters at that point and to make it fit the cap it could be a meaningful +.

Which is fine. Habs can walk too. Habs aren't the one with a player demanding a trade so they either get it at their price or they keep their powder dry
