Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread -- Expect the Unexpected June 2017 edition

[scrubadam]

Who is Galley?

I would trade Gallagher and two firsts for Duchene but not more. I wouldn't trade Galchenyuk even straight up for him. Sakic can **** himself.

Yes Gallagher.

 

[groovejuice]

After the Schenn trade how about 2 1st and Galley for Matt Duchene ?

I'm not sure what the love affair with Duchene is, but personally I don't value him nearly that high. I'd much rather trade for a guy like Mikael Backlund. Good all round centre on a nice contract. I'd use Gallagher as the main piece, assuming Radulov gets signed.

 

[FloJack]

We have a pretty good asset that we can sell at a high....Paul Byron.

Love the guy, he adds tremendous depth, but can he repeat last years totals in a diminished role? He won't be in our top 6.

He could be the tipping point in a trade.

Like Brent Gilchrist in the Damphousse trade. Hated losing him at the time but inconsequential in hindsight.

You have a good point.

Chris Johnson of Sportsnet on Calgary radio says he heard the Habs were close to acquiring the rights to Karl Alzner at the draft, but it fell through because Alzner was not willing to sign a contract right away. He said Alzner is interested in Montreal but wants to test the market.

Alzner? The Habs don't have a Carlson to make him look good. I guess he would be decent with Petry.

What's this obsession for a Scandella/Alzner type? Need a mobile puckmover.

I don't really like Alzner that much. He will probably be overpaid.

Don't forget we also tried to get Methot. I really don't get it either.

 

[crazyd]

Oshie was just signed for 8 years so I doubt Radulov will want less than 7 years since caps were willing to give that term.

It will come down to:

Get a Center from UFA and retain Chucky

Or

Trade Chucky for a Center and sign Radulov

Mind you, it won't be for a Center a la Duchesne, we won't be able to fit it under the cap.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Get Price to convince jumbo Joe and Marleau to come here for one season. Sign Rads and get that D like Shattenkirk or Trouba.

Patches Jumbo Rads
Marleau Chucky Drouin
Lehkonen Plex Gally
Byron Danault McCarron

Trouba Weber
Markov Petry
Schlemko Benn

If we must make a choice between Alzner and Markov....our defense is getting old...if Alzner really does have the interest and we can sign him for under $4.5M then sorry Marky

I agree then trade shaw and a pick or prospect for kovalchuk

kovalchuk-drouin-galchenyuk

wow

 

[Habsawce]

Odds are, we don't get a top 6 centre and then Bergevin tells us how hard is job is.

I can't hear him talk about how hard it is to do a job you get paid for.

Drouin at centre is not likely a wow. Kovalchuk is unnecessary now with the signing of Drouin, unless Pacioretty is moved for a centre. I also sincerely doubt that Thornton would sign in Montreal.

I don't love MD that much either and see him more as W/C like Schenn/AG.

But just spitballing an idea based of the Schenn deal. I see them as pretty similar players so I see the price would be about the same as well.

Lol what?!?

1. You can't afford Thornton and Marleau.
2. How did you acquire Trouba for nothing?
3. Schlemko was picked by Vegas from the Sharks, not by the Habs.
4. Where is Shaw?

I wouldn't mind Duchene, Scrub. Just not at the asking price. Pleks is the is odd man out. Danault was to take over Eller's spot, which should be Plekanec's now. Trade Pleks for a pick or a prospect, retaining some salary. Keep Galchenyuk at centre, Danault is 3C, and we need only one centre. We could move either Gallagher or Pacioretty for that player, depending if it's for a 1C or 2C.

Worst case is Danault becomes 2C behind Galchenyuk and DLR or McCarron is 3C. Obviously, that's not the best option at this time.

That's why I've been suggesting Backlund, who would be a fine 2C IMO. He's on a cheap contract and I believe the Flames would love to have Gallagher. Lehkonen takes over at 2RW.

 

[le_sean]

Maybe the RDs were drafted because Juulsen will go for Duchene.

I'm not sold on Backlund as a 2C, to me he's a 3C that overperformed last year, in part because of Bennett's inability to secure the 2C spot. Plus, he's a UFA at the end of the season...personally, I'm not paying Gallagher for that, unless there's something about Gallagher's health that we don't know.

...that being said, I would trade Gallagher for Bennett if he's available.

Where did we find the cap space for Thornton/Marleau?

We also acquired Trouba for free?

I can't hear him talk about how hard it is to do a job you get paid for.

Not even trying to be negative, it's just realistic.

I would prefer Bennett as well, but the asking price would be higher than Backlund, and he's yet to prove he's a top 6. I was thinking Backlund for a season, and look at a trade or UFA the following year. I was thinking Gallagher plus for Backlund; should have added that.

Dude... Judging by Shaw's contract he was probably traded 1 for 1 for Trouba!
