Covid is an excuse / Toffoli's groin acceptable

Yes, I thought it was a good move by a veteran like Toffoli to come out and say how he played like shit, and isn't using a groin injury as an excuse.

ITALY!!!!!

Canadiens going after Olesiak seems as if they have talked to Seattle and have been told they are losing Chariot or Edmundson whoever they don't protect.

Montreal is going to protects 8 and 1 so they don't lose any of the top 4 defenseman.

I would think they have more than 4 forwards they would like to protect.

Gallagher, Kotkaniemi, Toffoli, Anderson, Armia?, Evans?

You would protect 2 4th liners over a top 4 defenseman?

That's something you would do.

I'd protect the upside of the forward group that is much more lacking over 1 semi top 4 D that obviously can be replaced pretty easily.

What a lot of people don't seem to realize when talking about poaching someone from a team for cheap so they don't lose them for nothing is that it doesn't necessarily lower their value. I Seattle is taking player X you need to make an offer worth losing player X and Y, because they still need to lose a guy to Seattle. If you don't make that offer, it's better to lose player X and be done with it.

That's what Dale Tallon did, protecting upside in Bjugstad, Petrovic and Pysyk instead protecting Marchessault and Reilly Smith.....whoops.

Edmundson probably gone Seattle. Sign Olesiak to the same contract when free agency hits.

So far no real off the board picks in the Jan Levine draft.

Guenther to SJ at 7

LA to pick with McTavish, Clarke still on the board possibly Wallstedt, or Cossa who has now come out as a possible top 10 pick according to some. Hopefully Van trades back in real life to get real value for their pick.

Reuby & VHG will probably dig this, as well.

👍

I think he went the last 11 games without scoring . He still is a good player though.

At this point of his career looks like he's a regular season guy only. Glad we passed.

We could've used TT but moving on is ok 👍

Older vets like TT & Pearson are fine but best if the 3rd wheel not part of a line duo in the top 6.

Others worrying about 1 player scoring. Toffoli was 2nd in the team in scoring. Guys not a superstar, he's a supporting cast player. Where's the rest of the team?

Josh Anderson getting 1.25M more per year than Toffoli and he had half the points.

Probably a buyout contract in a year or two Anderson.

Yup, 2nd on the team in the playoffs in scoring. Definitely regular season only.

Goes to say how boring the Habs are & the lack of scoring talent is upfront.
