Proposal: Flyers/Canadiens

[captain9nyr]

Flyers trade Claude Giroux and Mark Streit to Canadiens for Alex Galchenyuk and Tomas Plekanec. Plekanec moves out just for cap purposes, Galchenyuk headed to RFA, Giroux signed for 4 more years, Streit UFA at end of year. Flyers get much younger with Galchenyuk, Canadiens get a 1C to try and win now, window of a few years.

Thoughts?

would rather go after both Simmons and Voracek. Now that would give the Habs some hope...

Not enough for Giroux especially when Flyers take on 7 goals and 6M in Plekanec.

Just for one year. Not going to kill the Flyers. They end up with a 22 year old cornerstone forward.

I am not saying it will kill the Flyers. Just saying not enough for Giroux.

 

[AtlasRust]

God no.

 

[Tripod]

Easy no from Philly

 

[vokiel]

Not cheap enough for Bergevin.

How about Flynn for Weise @50% retained?

 

[jacks*]

Not interested as a Hab fan.

I don't think many teams if any have the ammo for something like that.

Montreal certainly doesnt.

MTL should over pay to get G. They should be going all out right now.

That's pretty nice. I think if that was a first I'd do it personally.

Philly wouldn't do this trade. It also makes more sense to try and find a 2C for this team to add center depth. Perhaps in a few years if everything works out with their defensive prospects, they could trade one for a 2C. I think if Philly had a proper 2C; Couturier is better suited as an elite 3C, it would make Giroux's job a lot easier.

Am a Flyers fan, thought that was fair for both sides if were to happen

Couts is a good 2c, but him being used more as a shutdown center would play to his strengths. He can shut down top lines and chip in rather than anchoring a 2nd scoring line.

He has shown signs this year of improving his offense like driving to the net and being more creative but is shot stinks and he is slow in his decision making. Those are things that he can improve upon. He is a more ideal "elite 3C" in the end. I have never thought we should trade him but if we can get a 1B center or a very good 2C then it may be worth it with some of the two way forwards coming up. Seeing what Hanzal just got that may be a good option.

Is Giroux worth 8.25m for next four years? Seems to me the Canadians would nix that deal just for cap reasons.
And the logic that the Canadians are going for it now. Well I think that ship has sailed. If they make playoffs, they certainly aren't beating the Rangers, Caps or Pens and maybe not Bruins, Sens, CBJ.

two of our building blocks.

**** that.

Wouldn't move Galchenyuk for Giroux. Not the direction this teams should be taking.
