Rumor: Columbus in trade talks; trying to acquire Top 6 center

[Oilyveins97*]

RNH for Savard+?
RNH for Anderson+?

 

[IvanProvorov]

Jenner + Bjorkstrand for Giroux

 

[ImmuneEH]

I'd do Nuge + Ethan Bear for Savard. Probably not enough to get it done, and you guys may not even be interested in trading Savard.

 

[BatVader]

How hilarious would it be if the Jackets just started looking for a Top 6 C just recently and actually got 1......while the habs who've been looking for a Top C for over a year still dont

The reason the Habs haven't gotten their top 6 C is because they have a GM with no balls and limited intelligence to do the trade for one.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

I believe pieces considered "off limits" would be:
Wennberg (moving him just perpetuates the 1 top-6 center issue)
Panarin
PLD
Werenski
Jones
Bobrovsky

Beyond that it's a discussion. If there's even a discussion to be had.

RNH for Jenner, then Murray and Calvert for Kovalchuk:

Panarin-Wennberg-Kovalchuk
Foligno-RNH-Atkinson
PLD/Milano-Dubinsky-Bjorkstrand
Hartnell-Sedlak-Anderson

Werenski-Jones
JJ-Savard
Carlsson-Nutivaara
Harrington

 

[Cor]

Tyler Bozak for Ryan Murray

*ducks and runs*

 

[Royale With Cheese]

If the Jackets trade for Duchene and Sign Kovalchuk....what would their lines look like?

Pretty ****ing good.

 

[Kurtz]

Tyler Bozak for Ryan Murray

*ducks and runs*

Haha. I was thinking of proposing something similar, but couldn't find my kevlar vest.

 

[OVO16]

The reason the Habs haven't gotten their top 6 C is because they have a GM with no balls and limited intelligence to do the trade for one.

I find that hard to believe considering Bergevin has been one of the most proactive GM's the last couple of years and alos made one of the biggest trade franchise history (subban).

 

[mikeyp24]

RNH for Savard+?
RNH for Anderson+?

I hope that is at 50% retained and a good prospect added from EDM... Savard is going no where and we just gave Vegas a first to keep Anderson. The most overpaid 3C in the league isn't getting some of our best players/young guys

Yeah, canes haven't been trying for the past 2 years or anything

 

[mikeyp24]

Tyler Bozak for Ryan Murray

*ducks and runs*

You better sprint haha

 

[DarthProbert]

So, Anisimov back to the Jackets then.

 

[Donuts]

Sutter for ryan murray

 

[LondonKendrick]

Pierre Luc Dubios get a shot?

 

[BreakingGood]

Tyler Bozak for Seth Jones. G'it 'er done, Lou.

 

[mikeyp24]

RNH for Jenner, then Murray and Calvert for Kovalchuk:

Panarin-Wennberg-Kovalchuk
Foligno-RNH-Atkinson
PLD/Milano-Dubinsky-Bjorkstrand
Hartnell-Sedlak-Anderson

Werenski-Jones
JJ-Savard
Carlsson-Nutivaara
Harrington

Jenner is worth more then RNH. Jenner wears an A here and had a slow year but went hot to end the year and was 1 of our best players in the playoffs. He had a 30G season the year before but just didn't have the PP time this year to get a chance to score that much. RNH would still be the 3C here and Jenner is as capable of a 3C for us as RNH only much much much cheaper.

 

[mikeyp24]

Pierre Luc Dubios get a shot?

He will likely be the 3C if we don't get an upgrade as a 19yo and if we do get an upgrade he will still likely make the team but be eased in as a bottom 6 LW.

 

[BatVader]

Proactive at acquiring every bottom 6 player he could find. That's about it.
As for the Subban trade, I wouldn't call it the biggest in franchise history, but it was big. The problem was why it was done. Not that it was done. Lots of Habs fans think MB should have been fired after that one.

I am sure they didn't just start looking. And also they have more to offer in a deal than the Habs do.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Henrique + Blake Speers for Gabriel Carlsson + Bjorkstrand

 

[Shrimper]

They're going to get Duchene, aren't they?

 

[BatVader]

They're going to get Duchene, aren't they?

It could very well happen.
But only if they are willing to pay the obscene price being asked.

 

[Mighty Makar]

They're going to get Duchene, aren't they?

I hope they're involved and start a bidding war with the Preds and Islanders

 

[Jarey Curry]

If the Jackets trade for Duchene and Sign Kovalchuk....what would their lines look like?

Well offense scary good but would shoot themselves in the leg on defense
