Proposal: Draisaitl to Montreal

[DaPhazz]

These crazy proposals are usually made by the bottom of the barrel of a fan base, it's embarrassing but every fan base has fans who ride in the short bus.

We get it pal, no need to repeat yourself 14 times, you're the elite of Montreal's fan base.

While we're at it, can I get your autograph plz?

 

[DaPhazz]

The "discussion" only works if you are actually willing to listen to what the other side needs and start an offer with something that would resemble it.

Any "discussion" of us trading Draisaitl would have to BEGIN with the notion that you had a #1 or surefire future #1D++, preferably a right-handed one... that you were willing to trade AND who would fit within McDavid's prime.

The most important complementary building blocks for McDavid are, in order: #1 Defenseman, #1B Center, #1 goalie

Your #1D is too old and too expensive. Draisaitl is nearly the best fit for #1C in the league (only Matthews or arguably Eichel would be a better fit) and your #1 goalie is injured, too expensive and getting older. Talbot is passable, though not ideal... but you don't have an ideal solution.

So why would we trade one of those building blocks, which fits us perfectly... for an imperfect approximation of one of the other building blocks?

Thus... you don't have the assets.

Good points here.

Sadly for some NHL teams, and luckily for the others, bad GMs are not always that pragmatic.

Nice profile photo, very funny to you isn't it, i see the kind of human i am dealing with here.

He needs to prove he isn't a passenger before he gets that kind of return.

But yet Leafs fans think they can get that kind of return for Marner?

Internet thug...

 

[ManofSteel55]

so draisaitl and puljujarvi for subban and sergachev? edmonton would probably not make the hall for larsson trade then.

I think we still would have. Chiarelli was trying to find a way to add Lucic for his experience, leadership and toughness.

....and I'm certainly terrified to have this discussion with the infamous Cobra Commander, archnemesis of our beloved hero GI Joe.

Give your head a shake and change your picture. You are mocking a handicap it's dispicable.

Agreed, clearly Marner is just a passenger to the great Dominic Moore and Matt Martin. We will never know how good he is until he gets away from those two studs.

Nope, he has a ton to prove, too.
This season aside, the Leafs aren't as ready to compete as the Oilers are so there is no pressure to make a move.
Marner is going nowhere.

Dire needs may push GMs to do unrealistic trades though, we saw it before.

Oilers sure are in need of a 1D, and Chiarelli's generosity impressed many in the past few years.

That's why the ''doesn't have the assets'' argument gets to me, it kills the discussion.

not really. I take chiarelli over Bergevin any day of the week

Subban> Weber all things considered

and Sergachev Montreal actually needed over the repetitive Drouin since Galchenyuk nor drouin is a center

and the word you keep misusing is Moot not Mute

 

[Seachd]

For example, if Shea Weber were offered for drai straight up

Surely you can see why that would be a terribly silly trade for the Oilers.

I never said the opposite, Bergevin is bad too.
I'd keep him over Chiarelli though, personnal preference.

I said 'mute' one time while responding to a comment saying 'mute'.. fake news!

fair response

me personally, I think he put all his eggs into getting Tavares as a free agent, and having watched John for 7 years, the last place he'd go is montreal. He'd hate being in the fishbowl 24/7 and in montreal thats where he'd be

some players just dont want all that attention

Cobra, I think you're confused and simply don't know your meme.

Here's some help, thank me later.

I agree with that, sadly.. but I'm keeping hope
