Thanks for your quick response.

Right or left shooting winger or doesn't matter?

Would you have given up your first for someone like Perron?

 

[GalchenyukSting*]

trade subban

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Expendable guys:
Emelin
Desharnais
B level prospects like Reway, Pateryn, Lehkonen or guys like Dietz, Nygren and Bennett.
Bournival

Needs
Top 6 wingers who don't play on the perimeter i.e Tlusty and Stafford
Top 4 defenseman like Petry

Offers:
Reway/Lehkonen/Pateryn + 2nd rounder + Bournival for Tlusty + Nash

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Tlusty - Plekanec - Parenteau
Desharnais - Eller - Sekac
Prust - Nash - Weise
Malhotra

Markov - Emelin
Beaulieu - Subban
Gonchar - Gilbert

It doesn't matter right or left.

I know Perron has a year left on his contract after this season, but a first pick was a hefty price IMO, a 2nd is more what I would be willing to give up.

1. top 6 winger with some size. Chris Stewart ?

2. A top 4 dman stills a need. Cody Franson is first on top of my list !


Willing to make an offer with Pateryn, Beaulieu, Eller, DD, Fucale....

 

[Treb]

Pacioretty – Galchenyuk – XXXX
XXXX – Plekanec – Gallagher
Desharnais – Eller – Sekac
Bournival/Prust – Malhotra – Weise
Parenteau

XXXX - Subban
Markov - Beaulieu
Emelin/Gonchar - Gilbert/Weaver
Allen

Price
Tokarski

Would be the ideal line-up. More realistically, a top4D and a top6 winger. Parenteau, DD, Bournival and Prust can all be had for upgrades. Same thing for Allen, Emelin, Gonchar, Gilbert and Weaver. Other pieces includes prospects like Thomas, Lehkonen, Reway, Pateryn and Nygren.

Scherbak, McCarron and Tinordi could be had if we're blown away by the offer.

Talked to my diehard Buffalo fan friend today, he said that he would let go of Stewart for a 2nd and a B level prospect, but that Murray thinks that he can get a 1st for him

I don't think they'll split up Markov and Beaulieu, and Gonchar is fine in the top 4 for now, I would love Montreal to get a guy like Franson, but I don't think we should give up Prust, or Bournival to get Franson. I personally love Bournival and Prust is just too well liked in the locker room and plays a complete game, he shouldn't go anywheres..

 

[shawdowmaker]

I think the habs should go after a player like Curtis Glencross of the flames.

 

[Habitant#1]

I don't want another rental unless the price is cheaper than Vanek. We'll have spent the equivalent of three 2nd round pick (and then some) for nothing long term. I'd rather fork over a 1st and a better prospect for a younger player or someone signed long term.

I suppose if the team starts to play better (possession and power play wise) and looks legit by the deadline then maybe it'd be worth rolling the dice.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Parenteau
Glencross/Vermette- Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Desharnais - Eller - Sekac
Bournival - Prust - Weise
Maholtra

Coburn - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Beaulieu - Gonchar
Weaver

1st and Nygren for Coburn
Gilbert for a pick
Reway, Allen and our 2nd next year for Glencross or Vermette

 

[Blind Gardien]

As others have said, a #3/4 d-man and a top-6 (or arguably top-9 if you are making more balanced lines) winger are the needs.

I don't think side matters.

But I don't think the Habs can or will be in any bidding wars for those guys, and won't give up their 1st for a rental. (I sure hope not, anyway - but Bergevin's modest past track record suggests he's of the same mindset).

Tlusty, Stafford, Glencross, Sekera, Petry are oft-mentioned targets. This year I can't see the Habs being interested in any lesser depth players. They have that covered. But the guy they get ought to be a sneaky-bargain type of pickup again. Whoever is left once the bids have stopped coming in, Bergevin needs to be ready to swoop in to deliver that last desperate deadline seller from the shame of being left holding their guy. Or stand pat. Stand pat is preferable to me than giving up a 1st for any of these players.

I like everything about your post except Beaulieu.

Priority order, no1 is mandatory :

1- New coaching staff. NHL and AHL.

2- 2nd pair right side D-men with size and physical edge.

3- Top 6 wing with size and physical edge.


Willing to give up 2015 1st and any prospect not selected in the 1st round.

 

[rockjngo]

The way the Bergervin works is similar to Ray Shero as Pierre Mcguire and Michael Farbar pointed out in two interviews. Bergervin always add something before the deadline. Bergervin isn't the type of GM that sits like Pierre Gauthier or pressured like Bob Gainey. MB always looking to improve the team like adding of Vanek, Ryder on the right side. We all know our weakness is on the right side so I expect a top 6 right winger is what MB is looking for.


Mikkel Boedker
Adam Henrique
Justin Braun

are players he'll likely target, young speedy two-way with size.

Thanks for your quick response.

R or L does matter to the Habs.

I would have given the Habs' 2015 first for Perron. It's questionable that a pick at #20-30 would turn into a top forward or D man. The only good reason for not doing is that Bergevin might want to use it for a different trade.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Top 6 forward

Desharnais, Tokarski and a 2nd

A potential trading partner might be more interested in Fucale or other Hab prospects than Tokarski.

 

[Brainiac]

Heeeee.... no.

Tokarski has much more value than Fucale at this point.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Beaulieu is absolutely NOT available.

 

[odishabs]

To Montreal: Mikael Boedker
To Arizona: Martin Reway, Greg Pateryn, 2nd round pick


Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Boedker - Plekanec - Parenteau
Desharnais - Eller - Sekac

 

[vokiel]

Top 6 winger.

A draft pick and b prospect.

What he said.

 

[Yoshidas Island]

To Montreal: Mikael Boedker
To Arizona: Martin Reway, Greg Pateryn, 2nd round pick


Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Boedker - Plekanec - Parenteau
Desharnais - Eller - Sekac

not enough for Boedker
