Proposal: EDM-MTL

[Mike Dukarm]

With Oilers GM.. we can offer anything, maybe he will accept it

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Mete
Scherbak


Poolparty


I want Poolparty to play with Kotkaniemi and Lehkonen as his linemates! Mete can play both Left and Right Defense btw

As a Leaf fan, Mete is one of the assets I'd love to have from the Habs, kid oozes potential.

Nylander for Mete+?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Nylander for Mete+?

Depending on what the plus was I probably wouldn’t be too against it. Much prefer Mete over Weber at this point

Mete is a no starter esp considering Pulji hasnt shown anything good in the NHL yet. We dont need Pulji as well. We have too many top 9 wingers. IF we were to trade for Pulji it would be for a winger swap.

Oilers don't need to make a trade either. We have Rattie returning and we are winning (and dominating all recent games except the Wild one). If anything... a trade will be made around TDL when the Habs are bottom-feeders and looking to dump UFAs.

How about this -

To Edmonton: Jonathan Drouin, Nikita Scherbak, Victor Mete

To Montreal: Darnell Nurse, Jesse Puljujarvi, 2019 3rd rounder.

Why they make this trade - Oilers add to their depth up front with some serious speed and skill in Drouin, which gives them more options to balance their forward lineup. Signed to a long term deal at a reasonable cap hit, Drouin could be a very good pickup as he has elite talent. Getting him out of Montreal would likely really help his game as well (just my opinion). I’m not a fan of his but I think he’d thrive alongside either McDavid or Draisatl. Mete replaces the loss of Nurse on defense and helps with the transition game and overall speed of the Oilers. Kid is a very smart hockey player. Scherbak has a ton of talent but a questionable work ethic/attitude. Maybe he turns it around in Edmonton?

Habs need help at left defense and Nurse would add some much needed toughness and skill on the point from the left side. Nurse would complement Petry very well, to give the Habs a very solid and nice mix on the blueline. Puljujarvi is a terrific young talent that’s having some difficulty in Edmonton with his development. Perhaps he’s able to get back on track in Montreal where there is a large Finnish contingent. Puljujarvi and Kotkaniemi has the potential to be a dynamic duo in the future.

Value and needs close?

Unlike the Savant who runs the Canadiens. lol

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Nah, Puljujarvi is 20 years old, won't even turn 21 until the season is over. This kid has so much damn potential, he looks like a late bloomer.
Oilers will absolutely regret trading him, his speed and creative abilities is only going to get better with experience. He has a very good attitude, he's got a big frame, and he has shown glimpses of McDavid-like speed. He's the future wing-man to McDavid or Draisaitl, and will be essential to the success of the team in the big picture

No deal

There is no scenario where Edmonton downgrades from Nurse to Mete and dusts it’s hands off and says ‘needs met’. Nurse for Drouin straight across is an easy no, never mind the rest of it.

We’re 8-4-1, we look good. We’re not blowing up our defence to add a soft winger, a 15 minute a night defenceman and an AHL winger. Neither the value or the needs work for us.

You’re offering valuable pieces but ANY attempt to get any of McDavid/Drai/Nuge/Klefbom/Larsson/Nurse/Bouchard is highly likely to fall on deaf ears. Those guys are the core of this team and not going anywhere.

Okay fair enough, just wondered if value/needs were close.

Oilers Gm is the worst of the league... I like the Oilers, but with him they are in danger of an other bad trade

 

[GHJimmy]

Bear > Fleury
Puljujarvi >> Scherbak and a waiver wire defenceman

No interest. Habs are a bad fit because they want to keep all their prospects and players worth a damn and only give up their broken toys like Scherbak. It’s understandable for a rebuilding team but it’s also not going to convince Edmonton to sell Puljujarvi on the cheap.

We’re much better of sending him the AHL til Christmas and re evaluating. He’s only 20, there’s absolutely no rush.

It's looking like Fleury is way ahead of Bear in Development, Physicality, PMD. You could quote me when they earn a NHL spot

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Just to let you know MONTREAL is 9th in the league and Edmonton is 12 so yeah we will see who will be kick from the playoff

You got 9 posts too many, log off.

Mete + Lehkonen? They're soon to be a top-4 defenseman and a top-6 winger with excellent defensive coverage (his 2-way game is excellent).

 

[Scintillating10]

It’s also Bergevin.

A change of scenery benefits both players.

 

[TT1]

It’s also Bergevin.

A few more generational players and you guys might start making the playoffs more consistently!! Let's not even talk about 1st OA and 4th OA picks like Yakupov and Puljujarvi, only generational players can save the Oilers.

Bear played 18 games last year and was actually quite good. He came very close to earning a spot out of camp this year. Had they not wanted to give Bouchard some games he probably makes the team. The only way a defensemen could be way ahead of where Bear is right now is if he is playing at least top four minutes and succeeding.

Bear was the WHL defenseman of the year in his last year of juniors and had a great start in the AHL until a series of injuries slowed him down. He's also essentially only one year older than Fleury so I don't think there is much evidence to support your position.

That is such a hugeeeee no for me.

Value is close, needs is good for Montreal but poor for Edmonton I think. Losing Drouin would hurt a lot for Montreal but adding nurse would make the team better imo just by adding stability at the backend. Mete is great at exits and entries but Edmonton loses a true top pairing guy and I foresee that being a problem for them. I think they would be better plugging their winger holes then trying to force something.

Easy to say that when you’re the team hitting the home run value wise.

Scherbak doesn’t get Benson, never mind Puljujarvi.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Lol and what exactly is this based on?

Fleury is a bit taller. That’s about it.

I wouldn't neither was much

 

[A Loyal Dog]

For Nylander?! Huge no?

 

[Baksfamous112]

For Nylander?! Huge no?

Yeah, I’m not really interested in a soft 7M winger. I’d rather spend our assets on a good top 4 LHD

 

[Zenos]

Lol. Yes. A nickname by the fans is the main reason he’s busting. Has nothing to do with the organization who has a history of ruining high picks

You mean Yakupov and MPS? Because all of Eberle, Hall, RNH, Klefbom, Draisaitl, and Nurse are/were doing just fine (and well, a couple of them exceptionally well). I'm not saying that the oilers are a drafting and developing powerhouse, but this flimsy narrative needs to die.
