Minnesota shouts in your head and screams to the skies. But they take it.

I'd do Coyle for Galchenyuk.
I wouldn't touch Granlund for 3rd OA.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Id rather keep the younger players

 

[Lebowski]

What's the point of this deal?

 

[Scuba-Steve]

What's the point of this deal?

Getting the Habs a 1st C?

 

[Lebowski]

Getting the Habs a 1st C?

Granlund is about as much of a center as Galchenyuk.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Getting the Habs a 1st C?

Coyle is a 2nd/3rd line center.
Granlund is a winger

What's the point of this deal?

Just a guess, but I’d say mostly for discussion purposes.
Same basic point for every deal posted since the beginning of time.

Usually a trade proposal implies answering certain needs for both teams.

This deal doesn't accomplish anything.

Both sides say no. Coyle for Galch, maybe....MN can throw in a 3rd.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Doesn't make sense for either team. If Montreal is willing to move the pick and add Chunky they could get the future #1 centre they need. Example if Washington goes down again to Pittsburgh Backstrom +

Yikes

 

[Legend123]

for sure no from habs pov

As much as I dislike it for Minnesota, it also seems supremely dumb for Montreal to spend two if its best trade pieces and not get a surefire center back.

 

[sansabri]

Please stop posting Habs proposals.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Neither team would go for it

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Only makes sense if the Wild think they can find a true star with the #3. Personally, not interested in moving Granlund.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Montreal's not giving up both/either those pieces to get wingers.

Pass for Montreal. And it seems dumb for Minny to add salary when they need to re-sign Zucker and Dumba.

 

[Jeti]

The Wild made the playoffs. For them to do this it signals they're blowing it up and rebuilding. In that case, they'd have to start with older players.

Montreal needs to be patient finally. They should take the best player available at #3 and trade Pacioretty for another first and prospect if they can. Don't rush the rebuild.

 

[TGWL]

Didn't Granlund play better on the wing? I wasn't aware they moved him back to center and if that's the case, why would Montreal do that when they need a center?

Yeah...maybe. MTL is hard to figure out, though. Seems that they should be rebuilding, but are re-tooling instead. I think MN should be re-tooling.

Granlund has played wing the past two years. He can play C, but that's not his best position.

Probably right. I think some on this board envision Galch has a chance of being a possible late bloomer like Couterier, and giving MN the offensive punch they can use. I'd say the chances are slim, but possible. Not crazy about trading Coyle after a down season, myself. I like his size and strength when facing teams like WPG.

In the right circumstances, I think Galchenyuk can be 60-70 points player, and that's pretty much whst Granlund already is for the Wild.
