But he's nowhere near close. He's played 475 games and has 368 points. He must mean something else.
Proposal: Forsberg to MTL

Lol...
Not because your prospect pool is one of the worst in the NHL that Habs are just going to give away 3 top30 prospect on the NHL for an aging soon to be UFA and a 60/70pts winger

That's okay, I guess the Habs can miss out on this one too.

Really? Did you work hard to come up with this? Really hard?
We give up our entire farm and future for a 30 year old defenseman and a 26 year old winger.
Our future defense is a 30 year old who joins a 33 year old who joins a 35 year old defenseman.
How about......NOT A CHANCE IN HELL.

Ignoring value and cap, that kind of condition on picks are illegal as of this past year.

Yep, everytime fans of the team ask for a blue chip prospect in these types of deals and they never get it.

I'll agree that it won't happen. Because Forsberg isn't going to be traded.

I would love Forsberg off course but I wouldn't pay the price in picks and prospects for both him and Ekholm.
the latter is the biggest need imo and would cost less than Forsberg to acquire. I’d be ready to pay a 1st + Guhle to get him.

To me that seems like proper value for Ekholm. I could even see a lesser prospect if there isn't multiple teams in on Ekholm, but that would be a very good trade for Nashville and would be at the high end of what he's worth. I do wonder if Ekholm is on the Habs radar with Edmundson and Chariot both being big bodied LHD. Ekholm is better than both, but then one of these $3+ million dollar dmen become redundant.

Agreed. Maybe one of them would be included in the deal as a contract would need to go the other way.
That's what Ekholm and Arvidson can return. Forsberg is worth more than that, if we aren't offered that he won't be moved.
Man I can’t wait to watch the habs in about 3-5 years. With all these untouchable prospects they have they are bound to win 3 or 4 Stanley Cups in a 10 year span
Their chance are certainly better than Nashville, that’s for sure.
With how good and valuable the Preds players are, you’d think they would be higher in the standing.
Arvidsson is not getting a return like that take a look at his last 3 years numbers keep going down. Only first you will get for Ekholm is a late first and B prospect

I don't think Nashville fans get the value they would prefer with an in-season trade. Much to their chagrin, that structure, in my opinion of course, would be a Blue Chip prospect, a 1st rounder, a conditional 1st rounder if he re-signs, and an average top 6 player or a good young bottom six player. From a Habs pov that would be Caufield/Guhle and it would be a Tatar/Drouin/Lekhonen type. In-Season, I think you can take that across the league and that's the type of value they will see offered. Essentially pick your favourite blue chip prospect and gamble on who you think loses in the 1st round.
Off-Season, I think they can look for a 1 for 1 candidate or less futures type return. Someone will want a change of scenery and from what I can tell, Nashville is always popular destination.
I wonder if we could see something big over the summer between Buffalo and Nashville. Lots of pieces that either want out, or management wants out on both squads in my opinion.

Oh, we'd love to. But as soon as we do that someone will come up with that Friedman report that listed only Josi and Ellis and Rinne and go "lol hes clearly not untradable lol" and we're right back to having to defend asking prices.
