GDT: Trade Day Thread

[montreal]

Is MB going to make a big splash and trade Pac or was the Pleks trade the last of the season? Could be a busy day in the NHL with lots of sellers.

I'm hoping to find a stream to keep track of the trades. Lucky that I don't have anything to do till late tonight.

 

[The Price is Right]

I hope there is a huge move today and Pacioretty is traded. If Rangers got so much from Nash, I am sure we can trade Pacioretty for a first rounder, a prospect and a young NHLer like a Charlie Coyle

 

[Fazkovsky]

I see Pac bring shipped in the summer

 

[ClasslessGuy]

In a perfect world,

Pacioretty
Schlemko
Niemi
Shaw
DLR
Morrow
Hemsky

All gone

I like Byron, great example for the kids. I also like Petry we still need someone to play during the rebuild, Alzner is also not that bad.

 

[Gabriiel40]

Also, is it just me or are the Habs really good at turning 4th liners into like 3rd liners...as in once 4th liners come here they usually improve like Dlo.

That's a big list...........let's a couple are moved for picks...and Max grabs us some serious value.

Can we trade Hemsky? He is hurt with a concussion, no?
That list sure does confirm MB has not been very good at his job the last 2-3 seasons...

Our specialty is bottom 6 players, and 6-7-8 Dmen.............see MB for explanation.

Love Byron, but I’d trade him in a second if a team was willing to give us a 1st.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Even though I want more trades just for excitement sake I have no problem if they are done. Don't give in and get a sub par return for a 30g scorer on a sweetheart deal.

That explains a lot, also Montreal seems to be a factory for good young goalie prospects lol

Same here. I have said on here before that I'd move Byron, as well. If teams are turned off by the high asking price for Pacioretty, they may turn to Byron, who will cost less and still has term.

Plus he’s coming off a 20 goal season and can play up and down your entire lineup. True utility player.

Yes Hemsky and Morrow were for waivers

My body is ready!

Like every year, I'm expecting some of us will get fooled by fake twitter accounts. Even the broadcasters on TSN got caught last year.

All part of TDD fun.

As for who might be dangled, Byron could be an interesting candidate.

 

[Man Purse]

Free Petry !!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Free Petry !!

Petry will most likely move in the summer. Right now, he has a full NMC, but as of July 1st to the end of his contract, it's Modified-NTC, where he lists 15 teams he can't be traded to. It will make it much easier to move him as of this summer.

However, if anything, Petry is free now. He's been on fire since Weber's been out of the line-up.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Das me.

 

[Bergevillain]

Sell 'em all!!

Workin'! So you slackers keep me informed!

Interesting exercise on the Rumor Board, they have a list of players on which posters are giving their probable outcome today.

In the list are MaxPac and Jordie Benn. A lot of posters have Benn going to Pittsburgh even if there aren't any rumors that have come up for him.

As for MaxPac, most posters have either the Habs staying put or going to LAK as the top options. Then you have Florida with quite a few votes, Sharks and Nashville. Habs' Forum own, vokiel and TheGreatSchlemko have contributed to the thread. Vokiel chose NJD for Pacioretty, now there's a destination we haven't seen.

And then posters also considered where the first trade would be coming from -- and for those of us in Eastern timezones, it's more likely to come from an Eastern team.

Hey now we will be working too...its hard to figure out some of these trades and trying to figure out what Bergevin says.

Oh no, we could have used your journalism insights. Have a good one, you won't be missing the downtime.
