Value of: Galchenyuk + Sergachev + 1st for a center

[NotProkofievian]

As of this moment, the Montreal Canadiens appear to be headed into the playoffs with a center lineup of Danault, Plekanec, and Shaw. This obviously will not do. Who's the best centerman the habs can get with the aforementioned package?

Somebody would wouldn't be available

Not realistic at all. Teams don't trade three of their most coveted assets in a single deal.

The value should net you a franchise level center but value doesn't mean trades like this happen.

 

[Reaper45]

Jeff Carter? Either take out the 1st or Sergachev.

 

[Fogelhund]

I think this is a deal waiting to happen. Happy to trade, who has been our #1C for years, and great in the dot. May I present Tyler Bozak!!! Be willing to add a 5th from our side for that package.

Though, if he were to be traded, that might get NYI not to hang up the phone on Tavares as a start in negotiations.

Fair enough. In that case you can treat the posted deal as an upper bound. All of these assets are available, and the goal is to get the best available center.

So bad lol

What is the deal with Sergachev? I keep hearing he's a great prospect and he's also involved in every single Habs proposal I see.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Tyler Seguin returned a fraction of that.

Habs are in a win now mode. Sergachev isn't going to be the difference maker for us in the current window, but has a lot of value.

 

[AuraSphere]

Those are a lot of assets... You could get a #1C for sure, but I don't think any team would want to trade their #1C.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

I'll personally drive Henrik Sedin to the Airport

 

[NotProkofievian]

What about Malkin? Is he available for this price?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'd only entertain trading those pieces away in one deal if we were getting someone like Tavares at the very least.

AVs might trade their 1OA for this package and the Habs can drafte Nolan Patrick.

Me too, bro. Tavares or Malkin. Someone of that caliber. It's time for the habs to get this kind of a player up front.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Tyler Seguin returned a fraction of that.

Bad example. Boston shouldnt have traded Seguin when they did. He was far from a superstar at that point.

Loui Eriksson was supposed to be a bigger piece than he ended up being, they gave up on Reilly Smith, and they got nothing out of Joe Morrow and Matt Fraser.

I mean realistically if you offered Sergachev+1st round pick you could of had Duchene already. Probably still could but it sounds like Bergevin won't trade Sergachev so it's kind of a mute point.

That being said I wouldn't be shocked to see the Avs/Habs talk some kind of deal involving Duchene in the offseason, especially if Montreal has a quick playoff exit.

 

[pezcore]

Hey let's trade away our young talented center who was tearing it up before his injury, and our best D prospect with the potential of being a top 2D in the next 5 years for an established center

*cough* McDonagh for Gomez *cough

Lets make that mistake once again.

Obviously. Doesn't make much sense looking at Duchene's stats, though.

One bad year on arguably the worst team in 20 years is not a fair way to evaluate a player that has consistently been about a 60pts+ center throughout his career. Not to mention is one of the best FO guys in the league who is a reliable two way player.

 

[BatVader]

Trade deadline was almost a month ago.
Enjoy that 1st round exit.

You want to trade your #1 center to upgrade your bottom three centers???

 

[Qwijibo]

I'll personally drive Henrik Sedin to the Airport

I wouldn't trade Danault for Henrik at this point

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

That should get you Duchene and then some.
