Proposal: CHI-MTL (Deadline deal)

[Kevin Musto]

To Montreal:

-Erik Gustafsson (47GP, 30P)
-Gustav Forsling (19GP, 6P)

To Chicago:

-2019 1st
-Jordan Harris

Habs get the help they need in the form of two affordable left handed defenders. Hawks get an underrated prospect and a 1st.

*This is assuming Montreal are buyers at the deadline and are planning to make the playoffs*

Montreal have said they won't be rental buyers. Bergevin has said he won't part with picks. While he might make a hockey trade, I don't see this one being the one to make him part with his first.

As other poster mentioned...Bergevin has already shut these speculations down.

The "not trading picks" part kills this trade, but just for the record neither of these guys would be rentals. Gus has another year after this and Forsling is an RFA.

 

[Legend123]

HELLLLL NOOOOOO!!!!

And Jordan Harris is very under-rated. Has as many points as top 11 pick Whalstrom as a third round D

 

[sansabri]

Can they play defense?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Can they play defense?

Unfortunately no

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Why would anyone give that up for those 2 d?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

why 2 LHD ?

What do we do with the excess of LHD ?

We also know, Bergevin often says one thing, and does another.

I don't think Bergevin will be busy this trade deadline, other than buying a new suit or two...

Send Forsling to Laval and Gus plays first or second pairing.

 

[sansabri]

Unfortunately no

Oh, well.

change Forsling for Kurashev and we have a deal

How about no, scott

dont be swayed by stats. That first is worth way more than some D who cant play D and Kurashev

turnover, Corsi, +/- aren't bad for Gustafsson
and Kurashev is a stud

Kurashev has just 44 points in 39 games in the Q. A stud? Nah, dont put too much emphasis on the U20s. Harris playing top pairing minutes on a top team as a freshman is more impressive.

And Gustafsson comes no where close to a first rounder LMAO

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

no thanks from the habs , not wasting a 1st pick for this

No where close? Not disagreeing he won't return a first but it's not far off. His contract is laughably cheap, he's an RFA, and on pace to crack 50 pts as a dman

Not sure what you think that's worth but it's worth more than just a single mid round pick

 

[HOPE]

Montreal should not trade their first at all unless it's added to a very good prospect to go for a very young promising LHD, not much team as this, so let's try and draft one.

 

[HuGo Sham]

easy no from mtl

Nah. The cody Fransons were not worth much.

Not a chance by the Habs. We'll offer you a 2nd and Hudon at best. Take it or leave it. It makes no difference to us.

Cody fransons career high was 36 pts

Gustafsson already has 30 pts in 47 games this year

He had 32 pts in 55 games on a bad Leafs team.
