Friedman: Galchenyuk likely to be traded

[sabresEH]

Would do something like Pulj & RNH for Gallagher & Galchenyuk......positionally fills needs for mtl

Winger and center for winger and center. At best it's a lateral move for MTL but in actuality it's a downgrade on both positions for next year.

Unless MTL is trading price and re-tooling they will be trying to make next years team better, not worse.

If Galchenyuk is destined to play centre with mtl I'd agree with you. And pulj has way more upside than Gallagher

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'd love to have Galchenyuk in LA!

True, I forgot he doesn't necessarily play center for MTL.

Pulj may have more upside but upside means d*** for next years MTL team. If they are trying to win next year Gallagher>Pulj. If they are re-tooling then yes the upside of Pulj is more valuable than Gallagher

What about Stepan for Galchenyuk +?

What about Stepan for Galchenyuk +?

and why do u think the habs are interested in committing hockey-suicide??

If u say Subban, Weber was easily the better player but less valuable. Here habs get nothing but a giant contract who produces at a second line rate

 

[Donuts]

Galchenyuk for bennett

that trade is actually offer. Chucky had a better rookie season in the NHL than PoolParty did in the AHL more or less.

Did you mean to say the trade is awful?

That seems like a lot, and I think RNH is incredibly over-rated ("he plays defense now") and bordering on bust material for a first overall.

What about Stepan for Galchenyuk +?

He reminds me of a young Cammalleri in LA

 

[TT1]

NYR fans still not giving up w/ the Stepan proposals

"Hes a good player.. please take him!!"

 

[Jabba11]

Galchenyuk for Reinhart

 

[SnapVirus]

Galchenyuk for Reinhart

This is more logical.

 

[TT1]

This is more logical.

not if youre a Buffalo fan

What about Stepan for Galchenyuk +?

For starters, your + is on the wrong side. Galchenyuk is almost 4 years younger, still has room to improve to a 70points+ player like a scheifele. Stepan is a known quantity, you're going to get 50-55 points every single year. That and his 6.5m/year ugly contract is a big no.

 

[TruGr1t]

Galchenyuk for Reinhart

Yeah, you'd have to go younger/unproven to get legit offensive centre upside for Galchenyuk. Somebody like that would make sense. I'm genuinely interested in Montreal's motives for trading a ~30 goal scorer in an attempt to get more offense? I'm assuming it's because he's more of a winger ... so he's got automatic less value than a true centre. Basically you're looking at similar age, similar upside moves. I guess the Habs don't really like this guy.

If you noticed, this is a personal opinion made by a very overworked and tired Friedman.

My guess is, "the Habs don't really want to trade this guy."

Congrats on Niklas Hjalmarsson and a 2018 First...

 

[rockjngo]

that would actually make sense

Trading a proven 30 goal scorer at 22 years old for a prospect who has yet to play?

 

[SquiddFX]

Congrats on Niklas Hjalmarsson and a 2018 First...

I would be pissed if that happened.

Uhhh, you're in the wrong thread I think.

Sounds an awful lot like all the "What would you give for Galchenyuk"/ "Value of Galchenyuk"threads we see.

On the Vegas GK for taking Hammer out of your hands. Just cost you an other 1st. But eh, they'll give you a 3rd this year in exchange for both.

I agree there are way too many Galchenyuk threads but Stepan has been declined every time.
