It will be a minor move, scherbak, dlr, Shaw etc
Pens could give Maatta for Drouin. Maybe a little more and Habs likely would have to retain some salary for the Pens to be able to fit Drouin.
Drouin would fix our LW problem and I think he would be a great fit with either Malkin or Brassard.
Nice offer. Well done. Leafs can afford the drop in talent at F at the expense of cap savings and Petry is a better version of Gardiner, albiet older.
Nylander
Gardiner
Drouin
Petry
If you want us to retain, no doubt you would need to add your 2019 1st pick.
Don't you think he could be disponible if it gets us a young top 4 LHD to play with Weber??
If you took back Sekera as a cap dump and made it top 10 protected, I would seriously look at that. 90% chance I pull the trigger. This is a very attractive deal for us because Pulju will probably be ruined under the **** coach that is Todd Mclellan. It's probably best for us and Pulju (no head coaching changes) to trade him elsewhere, preferably in the East.
Alright, my counter:No problem for Sekera but if we take him, we need that pick to stay top 5 protected. If you absolutely need to make it top 10 protected, i would ask for something more, like a 2nd rounder or a prospect like Jones.
Cmon now...You get the younger player in both instance, and the gap between Nylander and Gally dwarfs the gap between Petry and Dermott.
I agree but Leafs are in a delicate spot with Nylander. And quite frankly, i don't think Leafs need more raw talent upfront. A player like Gallagher would be a better fit just by the way he plays night in night out and his leadership. And quite frankly, goal scoring wise, you don't lose trading Nylander for Gallagher.
Petry for Dermott is another story. I could understand why Leafs don't want to trade him but Petry solves a big issue for the Leafs.
All in all, Leafs get out of a problem with Nylander and fills needs (top 4 RHD with experience) and grit and leadership with Gallagher. Habs get younger talents that fit the team's rebuild.
MB wont trade Drouin yet. Hes on the wing for the first time for them. Give him a chance.

Alright, my counter:
Sekera + Pulju + 1st (top 10 protected) + Jones + Caggiula
For
Drouin + Scherbak
Nylander isn't a problem player, he's a holdout. Same way Gaudreau was, same way Trouba was, same way Doughty was.
Being a holdout doesn't mean your team needs to panic and trade you for pennies on the dollar. I would love Petry and Gally, but panic trading a talent like Nylander to your rival for partial value is just awful asset management.
I don't have any issues with a deal where we bring in Petry and Gally, and move some younger guys, but Nylander is not the type of player you trade in those circumstances.
Yeah that's what i meant to say. He's a holdout. But there is a reason he is a holdout and this is a particular situation where Leafs don't want to pay him what he wants because there are 2 other players they see being more important to the team than him that will get big money. So this is not the same situation as Gaudreau or Doughty as they were their team's franchise players.
Drouin for Tyler Myers (if it would work cap wise)?
Sure, but it wouldn't work value wise for Montreal.
Fair point, but I still don't think that diminishes the value of the player. I don't think you accept less because of this situation. There would be teams lining up for a crack at a potential franchise player becoming available at 22.
Realistically, we will sign him, and Marner and Matthews as well. All the doom and gloom is overplayed for drama.
I don't see us dealing Nylander unless we're getting at least one high end but lower potential player back as part of the package. I'm looking at Mete/Drouin types.
Arizona has some nice LHD prospects in Chychrun, Joseph and Capobianco. Could there be a deal between someking of a package and Drouin.
We also have Golikoski, but i think he is a bit too old for the Habs
