Speculation: 3-way Habs/Isles/Avs

[BatVader]

I’m not advocating, suggesting, or implying this is possible, I’m just curious what something like a 3-way deal involving the Habs/Avs/Isles would look like.
Assume, purely for purpose of speculation and conversation;
Mtl gets Tavares
NYI get Duchene

What goes to Colorado?
What is added to Duchene for the Isles?

dear lord make it stop

The whole idea of trading for Duchene is to have a strong 2C to play behind Tavares. Amazing thread my man. Even as a "pure speculation" this doesn't make any sense at all.

What is added to Duchene for the Isles?

Some other 1C.

What insanity is this?

To Montreal- Tavares

To New York- Duchene

To Colorado- halak,Ryder and a 2nd

Tavares wouldn't go astray in Montreal right now. Duchene could be an adequate replacement for the Islanders. If the Avs can get 2 good defenseman in return it could be win win for all 3 teams.

No.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Absolutely not

 

[Spazkat]

Oh goodie. Another "give up your 1C for these scraps" proposal where everyone gets screwed but the Habs. It's been at least 10 minutes since the last one.

 

[WaW]

Is this the new HFBoards fan trades Montreal strategy lol? Involve a 3rd team to give up all the prospects for you?

The Habs don't have the assets to bring in either a guy like Duchene or Tavares. Dumb thread.

nothing because NYI management has no interest in moving Tavares. For months the press has reported the isles out of the Duchene bidding. Price is way too steep.
Also, when the Isles look to add to their roster, I think we will see them shop one of their 1st, one of their 2nds and the glut of solid, blueline prospects.

Connor McDavid to the Islanders! Boom! I don't know where I get these flashes of brilliance, I just do. You guys figure out the details, I need to rest my overworked brain.

I agree. Habs fans ignore that for months the Habs have pushed hard for a Duchene trade and been unable to pull it off.
They ignore that Isles ownership and management have said they are waiting on NYS to decide who wins the Belmont land bid. That decision likely won't happen until Feb./ March. Press is saying Isles have told teams not to call about Tavares until after Jan 30th, the opt out date for the Barclays lease.
