They can have him…for Dobson!

Habs are $3M in the hole as far as cap space after the Dobson acquisition.

Are they planning to trade us Dobson for Kyrou?

No they are not. They’ll have $10m more in space once put Carey price on LTIR

Dobson may not enjoy being here a he wants to stay in the east. He would be basically a disgruntled player.

They needed a rd and they got him. They need a 2c more than us. Unless they are trading Demidov or Reinbacher and Mailloux (at a minimum), what do they have that we would remotely want for Kyrou?

If they don't have a good 2C to spare...
Here is praying Holloway continues to help Kyrou become a "Real Boy".

Hey Harry - serious question - I find a lot of your posts to be really informative and your views on Kyrou are pretty clear. I'm just curious - is there anything Kyrou could do to win you over as a fan? What is he lacking, in your opinion? Or is this the Berube thing?

**disclaimer - I'm legit curious and not trying to start a fight. He's probably my favorite player on the Blues so I'd like to understand the opposite perspective.

So they are $3M in the hole until the first day of the season when they place CP on LTIR (just like the Blues don't have the $6.5M for Krug until after the first day of the season), after which they still won't have enough cap space to fit JK.

I honestly would rather have Kryou. Just go with what you have IMHO and slot in Dvorsky for third line center. If he does well, then who knows maybe he is a second line center by the end of the year.

As far as tye right D is concerned just stand pat or sign a guy for cheap after the free agent madness occurs. Not sure anyone available right now should excite anyone enough to make us commit assets and cap to.

Kyrou needs a fresh start. The problem is his value is probably lower than it could be for various reasons

This similar narrative preceded both Bennett's and Reinhart's trades. He doesn't need a fresh start. He led the team in scoring. Picked up his defensive game. No reason to force a trade for trades sake under the" guise of managing assets" especially when you fail to address a need. In Armey's own parlance trading him for less than value is not improving this team by 5 percent -quite probably the opposite.

It’s not about scoring. Tell me how he feels. How Montgomery and Armstrong feel .. And force?

There’s a lot of evidence that he’s not fitting in and that management wants more from him. There’s lots of smoke. Armstrong basically fired his friend in part because of him. If (and yes it’s a big if) Montgomery isn’t pumped about him, then it’s time to move on.

That’s not how it works. You can also be 10% over the cap in the offseason

Agree with both of you however I would not preclude DA going beyond "anyone available right now" if he can find the right player and deal.

If JK, that would need to happen in the next 60 hours or so.

What evidence? That is other than media speculation? I remember when Monty first got here he told him to just go play your game. If after the season he wasn’t happy I’m sure he had a private sit-down with him, but I’d think the player would be given the opportunity to implement the advice.
