Proposal: Trades and Tribulations no. 70 (aka no. 69, part 2!)

[Adam Michaels]

This must mean a deal is real close. And that the smart thing from here on out is to sit him.

Edmundson should play this week since there are no back-to-backs. They have Schueneman. And Anthony Marcotte (Laval's pxp guy) said that Belpedio is also with the Habs because he saw him in the video of the players going back in the room yesterday and fist bumping. So that is another D they can use if need be.

Honestly really hope we can pull off a McBain trade, a big potential future 2c would slot in so we’ll behind Suzuki. Couple that with DVo and Evan’s next year and the C position looks much stronger vs what we saw this year

That's an optimistic view of McBain.

Allen 'held the fort' for the most part, but I wouldn't say he played well, even though he was in a difficult situation. Tends to leave way too much of the top half of the net open for shooters, and they take advantage. I give him credit for toughing it out on a bad team, but I'm not sure that will be a selling point for contending teams.

Allen had a below .900 save % when Price went down last year and we stumbled into the playoffs because everyone else in the division was losing. For some reason our fanbase and media were claiming he “carried” us to the post season last year. He had a few really good games this season but for the most part was mediocre and again Allen is getting talked up. I don’t understand what the fascination with him is. Like you said, it’s a difficult situation for any goalie playing for us as of late. But there’s a false narrative going around here. He’s a 1b/backup that starts to breakdown when his workload increases.

Chiarot and Kulak traded
Edmundson and Belpedio in the lineup

Another goalie off the market

The first 5 letters of his name are...
BEN CH(iarot)

Probably. But McBain and a 1st would be a good return for Chiarot.

Oh yeah. Look at teams scrambling now that Chychrun is hurt and Lindholm might stay. All of a sudden the pieces that they were never willing to part with are part of the deal.

 

[26Mats]

Zacha is a player you trade when you are already a playoff team with depth who wants to play around injuries.
You don't build teams with players like him. Also if im not mistaken Zacha is not a really fast skater

I'd be interested on him as a complementary winger that can put up 25g, 25a, with the added bonus if he ever became a 2 or 3c. That's what I'd give up limited assets to gamble on.

 

[General Fanager]

Edmonton is a new one for Chiarot no??

Guy seems like a 3C at best. Having a great year in NCAA without coming close to PPG in the other years isn't exactly intriguing.

Don't forget Klingberg, who will stay in Dallas now since Heiskanen is out with mono. So that is another big UFA D, who was heavily rumored to be on the market.

They haven't been at the forefront of teams interested like Flames, Leafs, Blues, and Panthers. But they have come up a few times as a team interested in Chiarot.

But honestly, they may be interested more in a Kulak, who will cost less to acquire.

Ken Holland has said he doesn't want to trade any 1st round picks or top prospects, especially for rentals. So that would get them out of the Chiarot sweepstakes. But they could be in on Kulak instead.

I wonder where they stand on Yamamoto. He started slow in the NHL, had some good moments, and now has cooled off... I haven't seen him play recently much. But he seemed like a high iq player with speed and great work ethic. Like Jesse Puljujarvi, the type of young player you try to get for cheap before he breaks out.

I'd personally take back the Lucic contract to get Pelletier. We really need top 6 prospects.

To CGY: Chiarot + Lehkonen
To MTL: Pelltier + Lucic

I was thinking same thing

 

[General Fanager]

seems things are getting closer...I hope they start to sit the main guys who will be dealt....

That's bad. Chiarot and Lehkonen are expected to return a 1st each. Pelletier is good but not worth 2 1sts. Also that Lucic contract blows.

Lehk is expected to return a 1st??? Which expert EXPECTS this?

What do you project Pelltier to be? If it's a real deal top 6 forward, you have to be willing to put in to get him.

 

[1909]

Habs are still very interested to get Jacob Pelletier from the Flames org. Maybe Chiarot OR Lehkonen are Flames' targets.

 

[lamp9post]

Marleau's reputation was already done from being really, really old. Plus the Leafs were in a complete cap jam too. He was being moved to be bought out, not to play elsewhere.

It's unlikely, but if it doesn't happen this year, it won't happen at all.

Fair enough.

What I mean is that value wise, Marleau with 1 year, $6.25M AAV >>> Gallagher with 5 years, $6.5M AAV regardless of age or ability. Heck, Marleau scored 37 pts in the season prior to being bought out. Gallagher pacing for 28 and the trajectory ain't looking good for the future. I would dance on the streets if Hughes could move that contract.

Hughes himself as per Lebrun.

Well didn't Hughes basically say that they want a 1st at minimum for Lehkonen? Giving up 2 1sts and eating a shit contract for a player that hasn't even established himself as a real deal top 6 forward is not smart.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

There is no way we land Pelletier with Lekhonen or Chariot lmao

 

[26Mats]

Hughes himself as per Lebrun.

There's a difference between expect and want a 1st and won't trade him for less.

LeBrun also said Higues really wants Pelltier
