Value of: Getzlaf to Habs

[MMC]

useless post. If you don't want to talk about his value, just don't come here. it will have the exact same impact.

His value would be a 1st + a top center prospect + a 2nd/3rd + roster player/other top NHL ready prospect at least. Habs can’t offer that.

Thank you.

Kesler is a much more attainable for the Habs than Getzlaf, who the Habs don't have the assets or would not want to give up what it would take to get him.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Getzlaf's Anaheim's franchise player. Not necessarily skilled as a franchise player, but he's the guy to stay in Anaheim until he retires.

again, i just don't understand why you think Habs fans want that.

I mean, you're the one that created the thread, so you tell me

 

[Spazkat]

I always like when people come posting that player won't be traded on a ''value of'' thread. I don't want to know if he will be traded because nobody knows. I want to know, if he would be traded, what would it cost to acquire him ''hypothetically''.

We are at 20 posts and only one poster dared to talk some names.

It's hard to "talk names" when the response is that there isn't a trade to be made. Its been pointed out numerous times, but if you're asking for a teams 1C for the most part they're going to turn you down without a C coming bank. Instead you offer a winger, a draft pick in a year with no exceptional centers. and a D prospect to a team struggling to find playing time for the prospects they already have in the pipeline.

Even if they were looking to move Getzy, we would be bad trade partners. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

yeah. I explained 100 times and on this very thread i hope Habs goes the rebuild path but i also am really aware management might not think that way.

So that thread is more like : How pissed off i would be if Habs trade for a center like Getzlaf.

At least, you come with an insight on ''why''. I just don't understand people wasting time coming here and add nothing to the thread saying : Habs don't have the pieces.

The number of proposals I've seen where Montreal purges what little young, long-term assets they have in exchange for a band-aid veteran stop gap...

First it was Toews at a discount, then O'Reilly, now Getzlaf...

Pardon me for detecting a trend. Hang onto your pieces and build the right way.

 

[caliamad]

band-aid stop gap veteran? Who are you expecting to get? Getzlaf easily has 5 more productive years left in this league, I think the same could be said for the other two.

Kesler is almost 34 years old.
Got 14 points/44 games this year.
4 years remaining on his contract at 6M875.

You can keep your cap dump.

I'm not a Ducks fan. I'm not saying Montreal should go get Kesler, just pointing out that Kesler is much more available and attainable than Getzlaf is if Montreal wants a center from Anaheim.

That also coincides with what pieces Montreal would be willing to give up for a top 6 center. Getzlaf is not available from Anaheim's perspective, and he would cost too much for Montreal to obtain.

Honestly we don't need Getzlaf we suck so bad, we need to rebuild.

Of course Kesler is more availaible, he's a cap dump. Unless we give a bad contract like him, we don't want him.

 

[McDonald19]

Getzlaf won't waive the NMC (so.cal wife, comfortable in his ocean view home) and the Ducks won't ask him to because franchise centers are so hard to find.

Corey Perry is another story...

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Instead of going for a centre in their 30s, the Habs should be aiming to somehow get a young or prime-aged centre. If that's through trade or the draft, then so be it. Rebuild and do it properly.

 

[ole ole]

What would it cost??

Trading valuable assets for Gatzlaf is one of the worst things we can do.

Ah no.You can keep both.

 

[beowulf]

Better question is why would the Habs want to do this?

 

[HuGo Sham]

I was about to say Galchenyuk, 2018 1st pick and Juulsen. I would say it is not far off.

edit : as for the bad trade partners thing, i wouldn't know about that since we still don't what path both clubs are going to take. I for one think the Habs should definately rebuild but i am really aware management might not think this way.

You nuts? Habs aren’t trading that for a soon to be 33 year old getzlaf. Seriously. Just. Stop

 

[HuGo Sham]

They wouldn’t. Bergevin is an idiot but he’d be flushed before making any of these offers

 

[HuGo Sham]

For the life of me, I can't understand why Habs fans are so hell-bent on fixing their glaring deficiencies with band-aid, aging veterans. I just don't get it.

Many of us would not. It’s a few delusional ones who incidentally, are always posting trade proposals here

 

[mariolemieux66]

Habs dont need Getzlaf!
Habs need to rebuild.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

This

Habs needed Getzlaf 3 years ago but our win now window is closed

On what planet do you live? Have you hit your head on something?

a 33 year old isnt worth that much. no way no how
