Rumor: Canadiens have a trade in place with Western team ?

[JustAHabFan]

Laine for Domi + 16th + Charriot.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Palmeiri comes to mind. I just don’t think wants to go to Montreal

Palmieri plays in the east, They said western conference team. Besides all Canadian teams are on his no trade list.

 

[SEALBound]

Paul Byron for a 2021 3rd or similar.

 

[BCNate]

True. He'd be partying much more often in Montreal. That place is great for clubs and partying!

So I hear!

JV has matured a lot over the past few years and put up a solid season. I think he still has room to grow as well. I could see him being a consistent 25 goal/50pt player in his prime. I'm hoping that the Canucks don't trade him, as I don't see a situation where they get enough value for him.

 

[Zahra Starker]

Depends on the plus. Are you looking to help the Sharks add another top nine forward or are you just hoping to add a mid-round draft pick or equivalent prospect hoping to get us to say yes? The Sharks are competing this year whether hockey fans agree with it or not so to get them to move someone like Meier when forward depth is likely their biggest concern at this stage, you need to give them a deal that addresses that rather than just a lateral move plus an extra mid-level pick or something.

Domi + 16th ova + lehkonen for meier+ 2nd.

Something along those lines. What are sharks needs?

Would Anahein trade Rakell for 16th?

After Kap just got 15th+ and isn't as good a player, I'd be a little disappointed, but Ducks scouts see a clear top 12 and if one of them falls to 16, I could see that trade. Rakell isn't a line driver and doesn't provide the defense (Henrique and Silf), leadership (Getzlaf), or toughness (Manson) to insulate the young guys like other vets provide and in a flat cap, his hit makes him more valuable so I see him as the likely one to go.

 

[Langdon Alger]

David who?

 

[themelkman]

How about Domi+ for meier?

No interest. Would need to be like Suzuki+ for Meier

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

McDavid is coming home!

 

[Everblades13]

It's a western conference team apparently
Also most of their players have NTC and probably wouldn't waive for Montreal

I was hoping for Killorn+ and thought he'd waive, but that probably would've been too steep for Montreal. If it ends up being someone worse than Killorn though I'll be bummed.

When there is smoke, there is fire.

Laine has been linked to the Habs for a while now.

 

[Waivers]

Laine.

 

[Wats]

No way it's Laine. They don't have assets/GM skill to acquire that level players.

 

[themelkman]

Injuries are a worry but Anderson is the better offensive player. Should be good for 50 - 60 pts.

Labanc has already done that

 

[Mick Jagr]

Why?

Saad is a good player and Habs aren't going to find much better on trade market or FA without paying more in assets or contract

I can think of far better assets or just as good of assets to acquire than a 6 million dollar middle of the road winger, some of which could he had as UFAs without giving up the 16th overall.

Yes, I know MTL has money to spend and, yes, I'm aware Saad is in the final year of his contract. I just don't care.

Montreal is the only place where I have blacked out in a bar. Such a fun city! I don't know how a young guy can avoid those temptations. For Jake, it may not be a great environment.

Domi + 16th + Mete for Laine.....BOOK IT!

 

[frederixx]

I really doubt it's for Virtanen, he's just not a goal scorer like they are rumored to be looking for.

 

[Jee]

No way it's Laine. They don't have assets/GM skill to acquire that level players.

we actually do...

 

[odishabs]

Could see Meier.

Domi and 16th for Meier?

Is that fair?

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Saad is what you hope Dylan Holloway becomes. Seriously.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

The assets we definitely have !!

 

[Boxscore]

Domi + 16th + Mete for Laine.....BOOK IT!

Wouldn't shock me.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Laine or boeser is my picks if not it's stupid Saad....

 

[Mick Jagr]

we actually do...

You have surprise prospects and capable GM in Montreal? Had me fooled.
