Proposal: MTL & EDM

[MessierII]

Edmonton just can’t trade nurse right now without a very good top 4 D replacing him.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I think Caleb Jones is a year or so away from being capable of everyday 2nd pairing minutes, and thanks to Yamamoto's emergence our need at forward isn't as dire as it once was. I think it's a better trade for Edmonton than it is Montreal, but I think it's your classic "both sides say no" deal at the moment.

EDM : Puljujarvi + Nurse + #20 ov 2020
For
MTL : Domi + #8 OV 2020 + Kulak

MTL gets their LD to play with Weber and a shot at Pool party.

EDM gets a fierce foward in Domi and and a great pick in #8 ov and Kulak to replace Nurse.

Wow i'm surprised.Another easy pass from the Habs.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I think Domi has some good skills that we can use, but I worry about what he will ask for on his upcoming deal. I suspect he will want to be paid like a 70 point centre, when he should be paid as a 55-60ish point player, and in Edmonton would be a winger. That's a big difference in salary. Not to mention that I am going to echo a lot of other Oiler fans here in that we aren't really ready to move away from Darnell Nurse.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Nurse and Klefbom play essentially the entire game for the Oilers they can't afford to trade either one of them unless its in a deal for another 25 minute a night dman. There are cheaper ways to grab a top 6 winger.

Oilers say no, due to positional value differences.

 

[ole ole]

Is it me, or has their been just a shit ton of Domi trades lately?

Oh there has and it's been from the same poster. Most Sensible Hab fans have no interested in trading him unless it's for a deal we couldn't refuse.They deal isn't one of them.

And surprisingly enough, they all come from the same guy.

 

[Patagonia]

Strange proposal. It’s not terrible, but not really a suitable for both teams.

Why would Domi be moved to the Oilers when they have enough Forwards? Nurse is an important player for the Oilers and would slot nicely with the Habs, but would create a hole on their D until their prospects are ready. Oilers are filling a position they don’t need and open a hole in their D.

Oiler reject

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Easy no from Edmonton.

Edmonton can't afford to lose a defenseman of Nurses quality unless one is coming back in trade or fee agency.

 

[Nipsey]

This is really bad for the habs.

 

[CanadienShark]

I think the Habs decline this one.

Domi ≈ Nurse
8th overall + Kulak > 20th overall + Puljujarvi

 

[CanadienShark]

Sorry--Kulak and Nurse are not the same

Right. Did you just ignore the rest of the proposal? 8th overall and Domi are worth significantly more than either of the assets on Edmonton's side.

Obviously I'm removing Nurse from the equation here.

 

[Lockin17]

I beleive Nurse is worth a bit more then Domi alone.

Oiler reject

While it may not suit both teams, the Oilers absolutely don't have enough talented forwards. If anything, their defence has more of a backlog than anything. Their wingers are... lacking.

I left the "approximately equal" sign there for that reason. It's close enough that there are legit arguments for both sides though.

Their replacement D are still a year away. For that reason I don't think this trade would happen.

Well sure, but I think the Oilers have a pretty awful group of wingers now, and a decent group of defenders, though no stars.

 

[Homesick]

The Oilers are a better team with Nurse in the line up over Domi.
Really could care less about a draft pick thats 2-3 years away(min)

 

[Halla]

value favors edmonton (not by too much though)

maybe kick in a decent prospect.

This is a lot better than typical Lehkonen/Poehling/spare part + 2nd for good asset type we usually see

I dont see yamamoto keeping up a near ppg pace next year and Neal will probably be irrelevant again. Kassian isnt suited for top 6 either. and they need a huge bounceback from AA

I think they need to make a move for another guy

I agree. Their winger depth is poor, and reliant on a mediocre crop of guys repeating. I mean, RNH is a great player, but he's more suited to centre. Yamamoto should be a good player long term, but he's young and a lot can change. Other than that, there's no legit top 6 winger.

 

[RationalExpectations]

I don't think Hall to Montreal is very likely. As for Hall vs. Drouin, when Drouin wins the league MVP you can compare the two.

I never said it was likely, my point that I don't see either Drouin or Domi being traded without a significant UFA signing to replace them

Of course Hall is (way) better than Drouin, but I am not sure he'll be worth the money he will get (in % cap structure) because as good as he is, he is also inconsistent.

Not that I’m in favour of OP but Habs can still run Tatar - Drouin - Lehkonen and Byron on the left wing if Domi gets moved.

As for the OP, I like Nurse a lot. Like, a lot. I’m just not a big fan of the contract he signed. Had he signed for 6-7 years, I would have been more inclined to make that deal 1 for 1 for Domi.

As I see it, it’s still not a fit for Edmonton. Maybe we can revise that proposal next summer when Nurse is eligible to sign a new contract?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Sorry--Kulak and Nurse are not the same

This is why Montreal gets the shaft everywhere else in that trade lol

 

[Bouboumaster]

As a base, Domi for Nurse can be worked.
The rest of the trade is pure foolishness that doesn't help the Habs at all.
We're supposed to trade the 8th OV for the 20th OV?
