Value of: To Habs, which is the best option? Montour, Dunn or ???

[HabsAddict]

A bit of a different take on a trade.....

We need a offensive LHD but not at the cost of subtracting major piece of the roster. There is no logic in creating a hole in one place to fill a hole somewhere else.

So, between Montour and Dunn, who I think are close in value, who would you pick? Is there another LHD that is in their level?

Available.....a 1st, 2nd, Struble, Poehling, Kulak, Mete in any reasonable combo. CC and Guhle are out.

Montour is a RHD

Montour is a RHD

My bad.......and now I want to get rid of this thread.

I was preoccupied with their value and history but failed to look at their position.

Sorry.

I suppose I’d rather Dunn. But if the price was remotely high, I’d prefer none.

Sorry.

Montour has played a ton on the left though.

 

[topshelf15]

Dont these guy,s are considered PMD....

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Noah Hanifin

Sorry.

also Dunn isn’t a UFA this summer

Noah Hanifin

The Flames aren’t trading Noah Hanifin. Sutter clearly has a man crush on him. He’s going to be a #2 elite shutdown D for the next decade. A better J Bouwmeester. He’s emerged into the player people saw in 2015. His value is astronomically high after this season. And no your prospects are not elite. Romanov or dial tone.

 

[The Note]

I think it would depend on what you are looking for. I can't speak to Montour's game as much since I don't see him play often but Dunn is kind of a mixed bag. He has absolutely shown flashes of being a dynamic defenseman who can skate, score, and hold his own in the defensive zone. Other times he's just kind of there or, worse, he will look lost in the defensive zone and be losing physical battles he can usually win. At the end of the day he is still only 24 and the upside is there. I think if you stick him with a reliable partner (for instance, I wish they would've given Dunn-Pietrangelo more time last year rather than trying to shoehorn Faulk into playing LHD with Petro) and give him PP time I can see him being an asset for any team. I don't really want the Blues to trade Dunn, but I think it's likely headed that way.

But he's played on the left side!!
(It didn't go very well, but he did it.)

 

[Captain Mountain]

This seems like more of a Habs board thread, but the order is:

-Dunn
-Nothing
-Montour

That's not even a knock on Montour, he's just a really bad fit.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Best option is or????

None of these guys solve anything really. Ekholm? Yeah, that’s different.

 

[GOZetterberg]

How about having your newly acquired Eric Staal be joined by his brother Marc?

 

[Moose Head]

Best option is or????

None of these guys solve anything really. Ekholm? Yeah, that’s different.

If they can find a way to fit in Ekholm that is clearly the best option. I don’t see Nashville wanting to take on a dud contract though. Dunn would be the 2nd option. After that, I really don’t see better options than just keep Kulak/Mete

Dunn is injured and seem to be out for an extended period of time

 

[cwede]

just fix Mete and keep your assets

 

[Techcoockie]

Noah Hanifin

yes, except the flames fans are asking for Ghule + caufield + Crosby + Eichel

 

[ginovegas]

either or, but one of Chiarot or Kulak would have to go
Edmundosn / Petry
Dunn / Weber
Chiaot or Kulak / Romanov

or for more natural pairings
Edmundson / Petry
Chiarot / Weber
Romanov Montour

 

[Frenzy31]

where did you hear this?

 

[finnishflash13]

Montour probably more likely to be available so him.
Dunn was healthy scratched one game and has played better since then. The Blues dont really have anyone available to replace him on D right now with the injuries and other D not being impressive. Dunn is still only an RFA and could be lost in the Seattle expansion draft. Trading him now only risks losing another Blues player to Seattle. As I stated in a different thread, Habs fans obsession with acquiring Dunn is odd.

I think a call should be made to Anaheim about lindholm . A solid package could make them think . 2021 1st , 2021 2nd , 2022 2nd , Harris , chariot and lehkonen . Lindholm just turned 27 . If he won’t resign will recover a lot of these assets next year .

This is a horrible trade. Pass!

Yeah cause a Hobey Baker winner at age 20 isn't elite.

Know who else won the HB at age 20? Johnny Gaudreau.
