I still don't get how some on here value Devante Smith Pelle so highly. The ducks traded him for a project player essentially when someone on here said that the guy was "untouchable". The habs have him playing a checking role and the guy has never had that good of a season. He's big and tough... that's about it. If he was so great, the habs would have him on one of their top lines because they need size and skill.
Some fans on here seem like they'd want a team full of 3rd or 4th line players just so the Flames are "tough to play against". I'd rather hold on to Porier as he could turn into a second line player with speed, skill and wouldn't be undersized instead of having a big 3rd-4th line guy. If DSP was a free agent, what kind of contract do you think he'd get? maybe 2-3 mil tops? This team needs skill for the top 2 lines, not another "grinder" who can't put up points.
