TSN: Bergevin open to trading a forward.

[Benstheman]

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.

I'm a Nylander fan so i would trade Drouin for Nylander straight up. And off course value wise, i would do Mete for Nylander but we can't afford to trade a lhd when it is our biggest hole on the roster.

 

[Spirit of 67]

OMG, no.

We are not trading Nylander for one. We have no interest in Drouin for second.

Fail.

Nylander for Petry + makes sense but that + will be tough to agree on
Assuming montreal wants to keeper their 1st and don't have a great prospect pool the only + i can think would make sense is Suzuki which i doubt habs would want to move either

 

[Benstheman]

The thing is Montreal is in no shape to trade from a position of weakness (LHD) for yet another winger. Drouin/Nylander is a lateral move considering their production and asked salaries. At this point I would rather keep the 5.5M hometown boy Drouin over the 7.5M Nylander.

Also, I would definitely not call Nylander a franchise player. He’s a 1st liner, but is so far away from being a franchise player.

I would personnaly take Nylander over Drouin, even with a 2M$ difference in salaries.

Drouin + Petry for Nylander + Dermott is the only way i can see it working for both teams.

as a leafs fan id say the leafs value dermott to much
i don't think they actually want to move Nylander and then having to add dermott would make it worse
i also don't think they'd have interest in Drouin . good player , could be great but they don't need more scoring and long term i don't think it makes the cap situation any easier
at least with a player like suzuki they get a lot more control

So Suzuki + Petry for Nylander and Dermott?

 

[dirty stanchion]

Gallagher + Petry for Nylander + Dermott + 2nd

Very solid offer.

As much as it would hurt to lose Dermott, I'd pull the trigger.

Can't see MB offering this package though.

Yeah i'm pretty sur Gallagher is a rebuilding team keeper like Weber.

 

[dirty stanchion]

Yeah i'm pretty sur Gallagher is a rebuilding team keeper like Weber.

Totally.

He's the type of player I would want mentoring the youngsters.

And his contract is awesome.

The thought of him on Kadri's wing makes me drool.

 

[Charb15]

Nylander
Gardiner


Drouin
Petry

Bergevin wants to trade Fowards cause he has too many. I d'On't think he wants 1F in return if he only give 1...

 

[Iceman]

Drouin doesn’t fit with the Habs? He doesn’t fit with any team.

 

[Benstheman]

Drouin doesn’t fit with the Habs? He doesn’t fit with any team.

Might be true. That being said, alot of teams would be ready to gamble on this kind of talent.

So Suzuki + Petry for Nylander and Dermott?

no can't see leafs moving dermott

nylander is worth more than petry imo
maybe someone like Nielsen

 

[Benstheman]

no can't see leafs moving dermott

nylander is worth more than petry imo

Ok then no deal.

What about Petry+ Suzuki + Scherbak/De La Rose for Nylander and Rasmus Sandin?

 

[howkie]

Hence the add, I'm sure he'd be pretty easy to resign, he hasn't had many contract disputes nor has he vocally said anything about preferring one destination to another. Alternatively, I'd offer Zibanejad one for one with no add

Hayes starter is NHL career with a dispute, nice try.

 

[pspot]

What about Petry+ Suzuki + Scherbak/De La Rose for Nylander and Rasmus Sandin?

for me that's a yes maybe make Scherbak/DLR a pick , like a 3rd

 

[WhoTagz]

Drouin for Pionk

 

[Draft]

.... This segment had nothing to do with Drouin. It's about the Habs moving a depth forward as a couple of guys are coming back from injury. Nothing exciting. Try proposals for DeLaRose, Scherbak, Deslauriers, etc.

 

[EXTRAS]

People should know he isn't looking to trade a forward for a roster player. The whole reason he is trying to trade a player is cuz he is gonna need to waive a guy in the next few days when what's his name comes off ir.

 

[Jee]

If a forward has to go, it will be Scherbak, De LaRose or Shaw

 

[GeeoffBrown]

If the Habs trade a forward, it's probably gonna end up being someone at the bottom of the roster for a conditional 7th. They just have too many forwards at the NHL level when everyone is healthy, right?

I doubt that means they're gonna trade Drouin or Gallagher.

 

[sansabri]

Why would we want to pay Nylander $8M+?

Dunno how we go from 'MB wants to trade a winger' to 'let's acquire Nylander'.
