Why would we? Our shooting percentage is bound to rebound and I don't think the Habs are *that* bad. It's still a mid 1st, a meh prospect, and a rental for a 2C that we can ill afford to lose without a replacement.

Do Danault instead of Bryon, and I think they should do it. Chia loves size and McCarron will be a fine bottom 6 center, and they could hope that they can package their own first with MTL's and get a top player like Tkachuk (who'd fit them really well).

Oilers easily decline that, Any team out there could beat that deal. I mean really Byron+1st+McCarron for RNH easily underpayment here.

Definitely not. Hopkins does not remotely fix the Ban scoring woes. Montreal is missing the post season with or without Hopkins.
I think a top 10-15 pick would be a huge return for a poor 2, Good 3 center with an albatross co tract in RNH
Nope. Danault and Byron have no value outside of Montreal. They're the equivalent of tossing in a 2nd or 3rd round pick. We have a better version of McCarron in Khaira. And although the 1st has value we aren't in the market for futures. Also, Calgary would never in a million years trade us Tkachuk for two firsts.

RNH is 6 years removed from being drafted #1OA, his draft position shouldn't matter anymore. Byron is not waiver wire, he scored over 20 goals last year. Given the Habs' form that 1st round pick is not likely a late one. McCarron could be considered as a bust so I'll give you that. In general, not a very good assessment.

Montreal's 2018 first... am I somehow confused about this, or could this have a high possibility of being Dahlin? Am I lost in time? I could be. I am old and easily confused.
If so, Edmonton would be wise to be in on this.

Just imagine. we could have gain those extra 2 points that RNH has and only at the cheap cost of our 1st rd pick next season.

Habs are brutal. I don't know why their fans thought they would be remotely good this year. You can not win in this league without any resemblance of a top line centre.
The Drouin trade was terrible. Reminds me of the Ryan Mcdonagh for Scott Gomez trade, idiotic. If anyone in here wants to say anything remotely negative about the RNH contract, take a look at how stupid the Drouin contract is.

Whenever Price finds his game - and he will - he'll single handedly ensure that the Habs pick is mediocre at best.

Maybe I'm out to lunch, but I think a mid-2018 first + huge cap savings is a fair deal for RNH at this point in time. Especially if the pick has a high likelihood of being top-5/10.
Wtf??
Why are we Oiler fans saying no to this?
This screams vast overpay. Id gladly take this pick.
I get a feeling an early 1st could nab a much better player though. Like OEL or some scoring depth on the wings. I like RNH but we could spend that cap space a lot more wisely.
If the pick becomes Dahlin there will be riots.

If we don't want to win anything this season, sure, it's a fair offer. We're not a better team today with Byron and McCarron, though. Not even close.

Edmonton shouldn't trade RNH this year - and maybe not at all. He's a very good 2nd line center that could easily become a decent #1. Only reason to do it is if they have cap issues and another player lined up to take his place (Drai? Don't know).
If they do trade him, I sincerely hope that Fletcher is all over it - he'd look great in Green.

As a Habs fan, I am not trading away this years 1st rounder. There is no evidence that adding only RNH would make such a difference that we would be instantly a bubble team/playoff team.
I also think Byron has become a great player and essential in our lineup. Im not saying he is untouchable but he isnt a throw in, in a given trade.
Right now, our trade bait is Galchenyuk. If a deal cant be centered around him for RNH, i just dont see a fit imo.

First of all, RNH being a former 1 OA means literally nothing at this point.
Secondly, Paul Byron scored 20 goals playing bottom six minutes. Not saying this is a good offer, but please educate yourself just a little bit
EDIT: Thought this was a new thread, whoops
I want Petry back. Don't really need another winger. Our breakouts are terribad. We can cycle forever with our big physical forwards but moving the puck from the D to N zone is ugly. Our D can extract the puck from the opposing forwards but often make horrible weak outlet passes.
