THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE WITH THIS TRADE... What Are YOUR Thoughts On This Habs & Golden Knights Deal? And Which Team WINS This Trade? MONTREAL or VEGAS? I'd LOVE to Hear YOUR Thoughts! #GravGang #RoadTo60kSUBS
I really like this trade for Montreal, they got rid of Weber's contract for nothing and Dadonov could be a good deadline trade asset if he preforms well
Sad to see him go but it’s a Great move by Montreal , Weber was a monster for Montreal , he was highly respected and from everything I’ve read an amazing captain …. If by chance your reading this Shea thank you for everything you’ve done and the class you brought with you 🍺
I think MTL will absolutly win this trade when they will trade him back at the deadline keeping half of his salary to a cup contender team for a prescious first round pick for the stacked 2023 Connor Bedard draft and then, be free of the full 7.8M on their cap.
@@scottmiller8617 there’s zero chance of first round pic is given for this player. Maybe at 10% chance a second round pic is given even with a good year. A third rounder or a prospect is possible and more likely IMO
@@scottmiller8617 habs gets a first for Chiarot 😅 And nearly a first for Lekhonen(Barron was a first choice in 2021or2020?). So why not? Remember how much Vegas paid for Tatar who is similar in production
@@jessicapelletier6490 Dadonov was horrible in Ottawa, and they were better than the Habs currently are. If he is on pace for 20-30 goals, he might fetch a first, I just doubt he will maintain that level of production
@@guillaumeturcotte4523 this isnt the last thing we hear. There will be ufas and others moved.. drouin dvorak gally armia byron anderson (hope not) names have been in the rumor mills. Plus petry is like 90% moved so thats 6.5 freed up. Rem pitlick wont get more then 2mil and id be surprised if romanov gets 2mil. If im habs i get romanov/caufield under long term deals controllable deals asap. 5 6 7 year deals at 5 a season for caufield 3.5 to 4 for romanov
Habs get out from LTIR hell and acquire a player on an expiring contract who will almost certainly be flipped for assets at the trade deadline. I think it's a Habs win
I think Montreal might just put this guy on their top line with Suz and Goalfield and on the PP, hopefully that inflates his stats and he can then be flipped at the deadline to a team looking for some extra offense. This might be a good indication that these two (Hughes, Gorton) have a good eye for asset management. Now they need to work with the assets they have, guys like Poehling and Pitlick have potential that hasn't been reached yet, among others.
Your absolutely right. We could flip him to move up in this draft or, what would be better, move him at the deadline for a 1st round pick next year. Cheers
kent hughes has made only good moves and it seems that he puts a lot more thought into his trades than bergevin who seemed a lot more implusive. Hughes and Gorton seem like two ruthless businessmen that dont play around
The biggest thing because bergevin and hughes is bergevin was loyal to his guys. You say it during the playoffs hes out there hugging and celebrating with his vets. Holding on to his vets when he probably should have moved them for future. Hughes and gorton have zero ties to any of the players. So for them its all hockey moves. They have their list of players who are harder to move then others like anderson and the eventual lekhonen. But again it was a hockey smart move to let lekhonen go. Getting a future top 4 dman and a future second rounder for a third line shutdown specialist with streaky scoring ability is a win. Just like anderson he makes it well known he has zero interest to move anderson. But hey if you want him your gonna have to blow my socks off with an offer i cant refuse.
@@btanguay96 The problem with Bergevin is that he was too much loyal to their players, especially with Price and Weber. That’s can be a great quality for him, but a huge default for a GM, especially with a business context of the job. Also, Bergevin was too much ‘’quantity’’ over ‘’quality’’, like during the draft’s. I think that’s the opposite for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. I think they are loyal, but if someone offer to them something that they can’t refuse, they will take the risk. That’s what happened with Chiarot and Lehkonen. Also, I’m not surprise if they will make a trade to have another top 10 pick in the upcoming draft.
Seriously, amazing trade. Ghule will come next year , i'm pretty sure. Add to this Romanov. Dadnov as forward will help alot. 20 goals from him will do the job. But expect more then 25 goals for him next year.
As a Montreal native, I know what it means. It's gonna be pretty hard for any habs fans out there. with the cap as it is, Carey Price is not gonna play anymore in the NHL. His knee is not getting better. MTL is on for a full rebuild around suzuki and caufield as the centerpiece. we need to suffer like this for probably more than 3 years and play like the Buffalo Sabres. YES THE BUFFALO SABRES! we need to get use to these darks years and wish for a better future. That's my realization tonight.
@@kristiermel2284 no, The habs are having a rebuild, they need someone who's gonna be the face of that rebuild, someone who could stay with the franchise for another 10+ years, that's not gallagher.
I think this is a win-win, Vegas gets the cap space that they sorely need to be able to have all of their guys on the roster. Montreal gets a $5 million guy who can be decent next year and maybe can sign for cheaper at the end of this year. I just don’t know who is gonna be able to play on Suzuki and Caufields wing.
The VGK have 3 really good options. 1. Find a Dadanov replacement 2. Defenseman (preferably top 4) 3. Goalie Debrusk could be a good and cheaper Dadanov replacement. Reilly will likely be brought back. Bringing in a top 4 Defenseman would help compete with Colorado. It would be a good idea for Vegas to either bring in a goalie to tandem with Lehner or move on from him to find a more solidified starter.
If the Habs don’t make the playoffs which I don’t think they will let’s be honest. We can trade him at the deadline to get picks or a prospect. The better the season he has the more we can get in return. It’s a smart trade.
That’s the most realistic comment in here. He’s a good third line player that can help out on the power-play if needed. The Eastern conference is stacked so I don’t expect Montreal makes the playoffs for another five years, similar to Ottawa’s rebuild But could be shortened up as their owners are willing to pony up for good players. Looking forward to Ottawa and Montreal renewing their rivalry with good young players in the coming years
@@neilsunstrum933 I think he will probably play with suzuki and caufield try too maximize his value and I beleive our rebuild will be faster than Ottawa due too Jeff gorton rangers choked hard in the conference finals but they have a solid team there but rangers went from basement too easy finals in two seasons and Jeff gorton had a lot too do with the ranger rebuild
@@neilsunstrum933 also if we get some lottery luck next year and end up In the top 5 picks again I could see us pushing for playoffs not next year but year after
@@rory.cochrane Yes it will be interesting to see what happens in the Eastern conference because the teams are changing quickly and bottom team is getting better quickly. The only reason I say five years is because that division is so tough and getting a wild card from the metro will be in an accomplishment of itself
@@neilsunstrum933 your right for sure but if you look at the rangers this year they are an example it took them two years too go from bottom of the league too final four and gorton will be heavily involved in our retool so with some good draft luck my estimation with some good draft luck we will be hopefully be able too compete with the rest of the division in 2-3 years
I think its a slight win for MTL. One year left for Daddy, then he gone. Maybe flip him at the deadline for a 3rd. With Price likely n LTIR they would be screwed, chewed, and barbequed if they kept Weber too. Vegas needs the LTIR to keep the band together, now they have that flexibility for 4 years.
I don't understand why Vegas did not trade him for a draft pick instead. They would still free up cap space, and might possibly get a useful player in the future.
Seriously, something I'm missing. First of all, how come Weber was dead cap space for the Habs but somehow cap space relief for Vegas? And even then, how come a no-risk (UFA in just 1 year), 40 points scorer at a decent $5M could only be traded for a literal favor to MTL? No one was ready to give anything at all for Dadonov so Vegas actually had to give him + a favor to get rid of him? It doesn't sound like the whole story unless, like I said, I just completely missed a crucial part.
@@Hubcool367 it was impossible to have Weber AND Price in ltir. And since we are not 100% sure that Price will ever be able to play again, that is why they traded Weber. If I understand correctly, if weber is on the ltir and Dadonov gone, they save the 5m and can have more space in playoff(like the history of Kucherov)(go read ltir in capfriendly, it is very interesting to read)
Dadonov was a negative asset for VGK. Montreal wouldve had to GIVE a pick (7th or 6th rounder) to trade away Weber, not get one. In this context, big W for Mtl.
Weber being gone is not gonna cause much pain for most HABS fans at all IMO. We are rebuilding and we have a sound, competent management team to get it done properly.
What The Fuck!!!! You serious Clark! Wow Habs flipping Scored with Dady. Habs are gonna rebound something fierce especially adding him to how the Habs finished season. Vegas is going down hill fast. They should have got something with Weber even though it's LTIR. But still.
Dadonov is 33 yes old. We ain’t keeping him. He will be flipped at trade deadline or even before raft with salary retained. If we keep 50% salary…a team can pick him up and have 20-w25 goal scored for 2.5M this year. Great bargain that may either get us good pick or move up in draft.
Hopefully Dadonov didn't list the Canadiens on his no-trade list. Of course no one sees what the Knights are doing. They put Weber on LTIR for the rest of his career and use his contract funds the same as the Lightning is doing with Seabrook. Knights will still not be responsible for the Cap.
MTL “won”, but if VGK gained flexibility they needed right now, well they achieved their goal as well. I prefer this version of the trade for MTL where they take on a contract from a team desperate to get rid of one, instead of paying a team like Arizona to take it. Ex, Weber + 2nd rounder to AZ for a 7th. This version where we acquire Dadonov we actually got a trade deadline asset for free, while getting rid of Weber’s next 4 years on cap maneuvering
Not just a deadline deal. What if a salarie retain dadonov is the piece that puts them over the top for moving up the draft board again. Or landing that prized prospect (necas) as a retained salary throwin. Dadonov at 2.5mil is a very tantalizing 20g 45pts player for teams tight to cap
Daddy was absolute bust in Ottawa but played better In Vegas. Hopefully He finds a spot in Montreal on the third line where he’s better suited. Could help them on the power play as well but he was dreadful in Ottawa on the power-play even with his good shot. Sometimes a change of scenery can do wonders. Montreal is rebuilding and won’t see the playoffs for another five years imo but maybe they acquired him to take Slavkosky instead of Wright? Who knows. I think Montreal would be smart to stay away from Shane Wright with that number one pick. Watched him closely in Kingston this last year and he is underwhelming in all aspects of the game. There’s three or four players that could have better careers than him in the top five but time will tail
Think it's a small W for both teams Montreal gets a Mike Hoffman 2.0 which isnt great but will help them and VGK gets a bunch of cap space. I think Dadonov will be a disappointment for Montreal like Hoffman a 1 dimensional player who likely wont do much and likely wont be resigned
@@Annexation_ That’s the simple way to put it yea. What it actually does is allow them to go OVER the cap, but it’s not as simple as just 7.8m disappearing from the cap. For example, if Vegas was just 5m over the cap and put Weber’s 7.8 on LTIR, they would just get 5m in space to make them compliant. They wouldn’t be 2.8 under the cap. However if they were 7.8 over the cap and put him on LTIR, they’d get the full 7.8 of Weber’s contract to make them compliant. There’s a bit of work when it comes to maximizing LTIR pool.
How Dadonov plays or fits seems pretty irrelevant for Montreeal. It was all to have the books cleared next season from Dadonov, Drouin, Byron, and Allen. Even though there's some great pieces on the team, I think Hughes is perfectly fine with another top-10 pick before ramping it up for 2023-2024.
Lack of inspiration?? The dude literally risked his future to give the habs fans a glimpse of something they had not seen since 93. He played thru major career ending injuries to be on the ice till the very last second knowing very well it was his last. He could have easily packed it that year saying he was beyond hurt and pssibly save his career. His leadership inspired a team that had no business beinf in the playoffs beat out 3 very good teams. Yes price was incredible but whose to say he didnt know about webers situation and leave averything he had on the ice as well. Same goes with petry he was an offensive leader who got to play thst way because weber was there to pick up the defensive slack of petry. We saw what petry is like when he tries to be a weber replacement.. it doesnt work out well.

Win for both, especially habs with the possible return at the trade deadline
I really like this trade for Montreal, they got rid of Weber's contract for nothing and Dadonov could be a good deadline trade asset if he preforms well
Exactly. He definitely could pot 20 goals and turn into a 2nd round pick at the deadline. If not, it cost nothing except a ltir contract

I will not impress if he offer a huge contract to Huberdeau during the 2023 free agency.
Habs in 5
Why wouldn’t the devils make this trade .. smh
Montreal wins get a player who will actually play
weber had his fill of montreal, injuries, and lack of inspiration the last couple seasons. will miss the big shots, and hits…
Lack of inspiration?? The dude literally risked his future to give the habs fans a glimpse of something they had not seen since 93. He played thru major career ending injuries to be on the ice till the very last second knowing very well it was his last. He could have easily packed it that year saying he was beyond hurt and pssibly save his career. His leadership inspired a team that had no business beinf in the playoffs beat out 3 very good teams. Yes price was incredible but whose to say he didnt know about webers situation and leave averything he had on the ice as well. Same goes with petry he was an offensive leader who got to play thst way because weber was there to pick up the defensive slack of petry. We saw what petry is like when he tries to be a weber replacement.. it doesnt work out well.
The words HUGE and AMAZING should not be used when talking about this trade.
I hate the Vegas golden knights so much!
No one really asked but alr
I was expecting more of a "no asked you to comment" but, what ever
Caps fan here, GM now of the Golden Knights George McFly traded Forsberg for Martin Erat, I still remember that
Bro whenever I see Caps fans and anything Caps related, I get 2018 flashbacks 😞
