Proposal: COL - MTL

[Price4Prez]

No use for Jost at all. Pass. If it isnt a LHD or an elite winger. Pass. Edit: thats our needs, not saying armia would return that- so dont get on my nutz

 

[TT1]

In what world does MTL move a big, strong 200 foot winger who can play on the PP/PK and is a beast puck possession player @ ES...

And for who are we moving for? Another small/soft bottom 6 player. Common sense is non existent here, this is a terrible trade for us. On top of that we're moving someone who can help KK throughout his career.

This is bad on several levels.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Good value, but as a habs fan I pass.

 

[The Abusement Park]

What about Zadorov instead of Jost?

Lol no sorry.

[Beendair Donedat]

We simply can’t trade the one physical forward that we have, that is actually over six feet tall. Armia is a weapon along the boards, and has some grossly underrated skill to go with that... Jost is a decent piece, but we have more than enough small, not so tough guys. Thanks but no thanks.

Will sell you Carey Price for a package based around Byram though if you’re interested.

Rosen and Jost for Armia and 2nd 2020

Rosen and Jost for Armia and 2nd 2020

Never seen Rosen play but from report and stat checkinh the kid looks impressive and damn i love Jost’s style! Him and Chabot were f***ing fire at the u18!

 

[Habs Halifax]

kinda reminds you of Lars Eller. still not sure what we have in him

Young John LeClair type player. Not going to put up as many points but his forcheck is very good and he has a great shot with good hands and strong on the puck

Habs not trading our only guy with size/strength

 

[Habs Halifax]

To MTL:
Jost

To COL:
Armia

Straight up, 1-for-1. I've been a fan of Armia since his WPG days and he's a big RW that is having a great season. The Habs are in a bit of a spiral and if they don't make the playoffs perhaps they are interested in getting younger and selling a guy that will be a UFA after next season. Jost is 21 and I think he would fit in well with the other Habs youngsters, and into their system a little better than Colorado. Avs get another big sturdy Finn that can help them more the next 2 seasons than Jost will, especially with guys like Bowers and Newhook in the wings. Thoughts?

Decent proposal but as a Habs fan I pass. We need Armia's size and physical strength in the mix of our forward core moving forward.

Jost is 21 and it's early yet but at that age, you start to see what kind of player you got. Basically his development is on the Lehkonen path at the moment.

 

[Freudian]

As an Avs fan I don't see why Montreal would do this. Doesn't seem to me like Montreal needs to get smaller and softer. I don't see Jost jumping to a 50 point player with a change of scenery.

 

[Gaud]

I'm liking Armia's season, but does he have another level? Is he in the midst of hitting it?

Theres been a few "reports" where they ask questions of the players like "who's the strongest in the team" (weber of course), but I keep hearing Armia has the most underrated hands on the team. Hard to tell how good Armia is, but he is making his teammates better. I like what ive been seeing from him with Lekhonen and KK; they've had some great flashes recently and Lekh's offense seems less hopeless recently.

when i was this, i was all for it. I read all the posts , though and the folks here bring solid points about Armia and Jost's ceiling being unknown values, and that these players dont really meet needs for the other teams (Mtl has Cs and Col has Ws). Good OP though.

 

[Patagonia]

Good deal.

Jost could breakout, but with available prospects, more production and adds size to the 3rd line. Armia will be a UFA after 2 years, no certainty he stays while Habs continue their rebuild.

We will take our chances and hope he signs an extension by the end of his contrat. We need his size and skillset more than anything else. If anything we need another Armia type of player

 

[hughdreamz]

Good post OP. Seems fair, but I don't know if the Avs necessarily need Armia.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I think the Habs do this. Armia isn't a super important piece. Neither is Jost, but he's worth it for his potential. He could be a real solid 2nd line centre.

trade value aside, this is false. he's the only winger with size on the team and is on pace for 25-30 goals
