Proposal: Gallagher for a 1st and a top prospect, no more no less.

[easton117]

I want Karlsson

Lol ah. Makes more sense now!!

 

[OnanTheBarbarian]

Take out the 3rd and put 'er there.. "extends hand"...

Can I trade you some kegs of molson for a 3rd?

 

[Cobra Commander]

So when you made this thread, was their any team in particular that you were thinking about and what prospect?

Edmonton makes the most sense since he's from there.

 

[Cobra Commander]

You would have to pay me to drink Molson's products. Im not giving that clown a penny in Habs revenue until Bergevin is gone. I'll add a 7th rounder.

 

[connormcmuffin]

After years of JVR threads I feel for you, people get entitled even though there is nothing wrong with the talent and his contract.

I'd bite at a 1st and Johnsson. It won't happen but that as much as the Leafs can offer.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No, i need a 1st for my rebuild. Yamamoto has yet to score an NHL goal by the way.. calm down.

He’s played 9 NHL games and was 2PPG in the WHL after the Worlds. You calm down.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Would you do Yamamoto and a second for Gallagher?

I would, yes. I’d include Caggiula too because our cap margins are so slim.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Edmonton makes the most sense since he's from there.

A first and Yamamoto is way too rich for a guy with one 30 goal season and is only one year removed from ten goals in 64 games.

1st and Benson/McLeod, or 2nd and Yamamoto. Doubt you’ll get better offers elsewhere.

 

[PitchNHL]

Please make a civilised offer for Gallagher, what team will give up it's 2019 1st and what top prospect?

Lmao nobody is giving a top prospect and especially not a top prospect and a first for Gallagher

 

[PitchNHL]

Like i said, 26 year old 30 goal scorer in his prime on a sweetheart 3.75mil x 3 year deal... I knew this trade section was bad but.. i'm a little shocked.

You’re overvaluing him so much... I’d give a B prospect and a 2nd for him tbh. Or a late 1st at the trade deadline but nothing else

Thanks for the level head in here.

Ok i accept your offer.

That's a good offer, but there is a zero percent chance he's moved to a division rival for something that doesn't bleed them dry. Habs do not want to see that grin multiple times a year for multiple years

All good i decline. No big deal.

Cool then he'll stay a Hab. Does much more than score out there and still has several good years ahead of him, gladly hang onto him

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I do not think the Habs will mind in the heavy rebuild they'll be in.

Why even acknowledge that kind of offer.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Definitely would, and the most realistic option here is honestly that he stays and is named as the next captain

 

[Dustin]

Actually Gally would be a great fit for the Leafs. Brings a lot of different skills to the table, can play up and down the line up and has a very reasonable cap hit.

 

[Cobra Commander]

He’s played 9 NHL games and was 2PPG in the WHL after the Worlds. You calm down.

I'm wasn't putting the player down just saying that he hasn't done anything in the NHL vs a guy who is ready to help a team get closer to a cup.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Definitely would, and the most realistic option here is honestly that he stays and is named as the next captain

Of course he is staying, but if we were smart we would do a full rebuild and trade him now while his value is high.

 

[Winston Wolf]

No contending team is acquiring Gallagher to be a 30 goal scorer. To score that many goals, you either need to be an elite goal scorer and/or play on the top PP. I don't know any team besides Montreal where Gallagher would get top PP time. He'd get 2nd unit time and play on the 2nd line (3rd on some teams). No chance he scores that many with that usage. Most teams would expect him to be a solid secondary scorer around 20 goals and 45 points. Is that worth a 1st and a top prospect to you? I think his 29 points in 64 games last season when Radulov was eating up all his PP time is much more indicative of what any acquiring team would expect from him.

Go look at guys like Cammalleri and Vrbata's careers. They were much better scorers than Gallagher, were they ever worth that much? Obviously Gallagher brings much more than them besides scoring, but scoring on a team with a dearth of talent doesn't magically make you more valuable.

 

[Baksfamous112]

You don’t trade players like Gallagher. You build around them. Jesus.

 

[Baksfamous112]

That’s not the smart thing to do. Edmonton, Arizona, Buffalo. These are the latest teams to completely blow it up and look how well it went.

Boston, Toronto. Two teams that retooled and look where they are now.

Montreal needs to take the Boston/Toronto route and retool over 3-5 years

 

[smirob]

Gallagher scores 31 last year

“I don’t know if I’d consider him a 30 goal scorer”

Pacioretty has 4 consecutive over 30 goal seasons and scores 17 last season (22g pace)

“He’s not a 30 goal scorer”

Never change HFboards, never change

I disagree, Edmonton and Buffalo will be dangerous very soon
