Proposal: BOS+MTL

[Dr Quincy]

Easy no.

Grzelcyk looks like a longterm 2nd pair guy.

No he doesn't. He looks like a 3rd pair guy. No team is contending with Gryz on the 2nd pair.

That said, no interest in Armia.

I didn't mean he's a 2nd pair today on a contender.
I like his game and believe he can get there with experience.

 

[Intangir]

I’m sure you’re not. There are idiots everywhere.

That was bit harsh, in a round-about way, there. I'd prefer it if you'd said ''blind and passionate fans'', but meh, as you wish.

Come to think of it, if a Boston Bruins GM had the stupidity to offer a trade quite lopsided in our favor, and that trade benefited the Canadiens greatly, I wouldn't hold on to my misgivings regarding Boston's players and happily welcome them aboard as a a fan. So, you could say that my feelings against former Boston Bruins players joining the Montreal Canadiens is actually circumstances-based (like everything in life), who knew.

Didn’t know a kid playing over 20 minutes a night on the best defensive team in the league would be bottom pair on the lowly Habs. Keep em coming kiddo.

Actually you would have a good defenseman

Other than improve it you mean?

I'm sorry that you guys are hurt by the fact Habs fans don't feel that Boston's #5 d-man is the saviour we need. Is he an improvement, maybe. Is he enough of an improvement to be a real solution? No.

Lowly habs? We’re one point behind the Bruins buddy.

As for the OP, Montreal just paid ~2.5M in REAL CASH (Mason buyout over two seasons) for Armia and we have a real need for him. Why would we trade him now? Doesn’t make any sense from Montreal perspective.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Awful proposal. Gryzlek is awesome and on a great contract. Kid can skate and is defensively responsible. It would take Domi or Gallagher to pry him out of Boston

Boston & Montreal hardy never trades with each other, when they do its a minor trade. the Last time Boston and Montreal made a trade with each other was on Feb 21, 2001

Who's said he's the saviour?

Your LD trio is damm garbage, and Grzelcyk could be part of a solution.
If you cant get a #1LD it doesn't mean you can't add other players.

But he's not available for Montreal.

 

[gumgum]

Gryz easily the more valuable player.

Ya like this minor trade.

Bruins Acquire: Guy Allen, Paul Reid

Canadiens Acquire: Ken Dryden, Alex Campbell

 

[ole ole]

So does every D man on the Canadians so he should fit right in

That team without Price would be in the lottery with that D group ,Weber makes Chara look like Matt Grzelcyk in speed

Chara was once good .Today he sucks.

 

[ole ole]

Junohockeyfan is only trying to devalue Grezecyk in order to get him at a cheaper price like when you are look at buying a used car, you try to find thing wrong with it it get the price down.

True but a piece of junk is a piece of junk no matter what town your seeing it in.

Because he’s a slight improvement on one of the worst left side of the league doesn’t mean we should spend a quality (and needed) asset in Armia.

As I previously said, we just paid ~2.5M in real $ to acquire Armia. He’s not going anywhere

 

[Mick Riddleton]

After watching the last Hab Bruin game, Grizz would have been the best passer on dee for them. They could not make a tape to tape to save their lives it was brutal to watch. We are not giving them a very good puck mover who evades every check thrown at him and is a stick checking wizard. Grizz is on Krugs level minus the shot. If we move him it is part of a package to get a much better player.

 

[John Bruins]

Matt Grzelcyk has a goal and 8 assist in 34 games with a +5

[Kraken Jokes]

This thread is the epitome of what's wrong with the HF Trades forum. A whole lot of people talking smack and not many talking hockey.

As for the OP, obviously the Habs would strongly consider this offer. Good proposal.

He's a good player.

Im dead, keep dreaming you had domi or gallagher

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Chara was once good .Today he sucks.

Chara is still better than anyone on the Habs defense. McAvoy has taken his role as the #1 because he is so good. Chara himself is still one of the top shutdown defensemen in the NHL.

As for Gryz, it would have to be a much better return than that for the Bruins to trade him.

Insert <Weber> <Petry>

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Insert <Weber> <Petry>

Weber is worthy of debate I do agree.

Petry... not even close. He would be the #4 defenseman for the Bruins.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Im dead, keep dreaming you had domi or gallagher

No need to dream... I watch Bergeron Pastrnak Marchand Krejci DeBrusk McAvoy Chara.....

 

[Baksfamous112]

He's a good player.

I think Mete is better and honestly I feel if we go the trade route, a player like Muzzin would fit our need better (and we can send futures while Armia is part of our present/future).

 

[Baksfamous112]

I think Weber isn’t even a debate. Petry overall game is much better than Krug’s and I think he’s also better now than Chara is
