Friedman: Habs interested in Alex Wennberg

[Michoulicious]

I like Wennberg but there really is no room for him.

If Wennberg is in, Danault is obviously out.

 

[CupInSIX]

He'd be a great bargain.

Didnt they deal out Domi with one of the reasons being they didnt have a center spot for him with Suzuki, KK, danault taking up top 3 spots with Poehling and a couple others as 4C options? Unless the habs lacking in wingers dont see why they want wennerberg.

Well Domi on the 4th was not a great use of resources with holes around the lineup. He was also a little mad about it. Wennberg is probably an upgrade on the 4th over Evan/Poehling short-term. It also lets Poehling some needed time to develop in the AHL. (depends on contract lenght).

Danault seems disgruntled with the prospect of playing 3rd line, so maybe they're trying to cover their ass if Danault becomes Domi 2.0.

I don't think they're trying to fish him for 1st line duties, more like a bottom line policy insurance would be my hope.

I'd be so happy if princess danault was traded for a good package we should sell high on him while we can.

 

[Jee]

I take Danault over Wennberg any day of the week...

 

[Hostile Offer]

If Wennberg is in, Danault is obviously out.

Makes no sense to acquire one player and trade the much better player away because of that.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

If Wennberg's smart, sign a one or two year deal with Detroit.

Team isn't doing shit during that time, but he'll have all the opportunity in the world to prove he's a Top 6 center again.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Makes no sense to acquire one player and trade the much better player away because of that.

It does if he's asking way too much on his next contract. Plus we sell high on him so we should be able to get a good return.

Wennberg had 5x as many goals as Anderson last year in Columbus.

8x8. Do it Bergie!!

 

[abo9]

Danault for Rakell, maybe +

sign Wenneberg at 3c


IM SURE Wenneberg will bounce back, he doesn't fit with torts

The only thing is I'd like it only if Wennberg is solid defensively, not if he's a unidimensional offense first player with some troubles in his game. Add Simmonds and Wennberg on the third and seems like they could complement each other well.

Lots of IF's but. alot more realistic than people who hoped to sign Hall/Pietrangelo as the new fundation for the team

 

[Captain97]

He plays left wing as well, he could be a solid third liner with KK and Armia. So I wouldn't mind if he is cheap

Lol kk needs actual teammates

 

[Captain97]

Lol kk needs actual teammates

I'm working under the assumption Danault keeps his wingers and Anderson is going to Suzuki and Drouin. So options are limited.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Avs will take Danault off your hands for Timmins.

 

[Michoulicious]

Avs will take Danault off your hands for Timmins.

Timmins? LoL.

That Newhook kid needs to be involved, or a Pageau-like package.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Timmins? LoL.

That Newhook kid needs to be involved.

Yeah because that's a realistic return for a rental 2/3C

 

[The Great Weal]

Big talk from the team that got Mike f***ing Matheson lmao

Avs will take Danault off your hands for Timmins.

Throw in Newhook and you got yourself a deal

 

[Legend123]

Hes not a 3c and hell sign an extension if a deal is made.

 

[YYCLetangStan]

Big talk from the team that got Mike f***ing Matheson lmao

He’ll be fine buried as a 6D on the depth chart.

 

[The Great Weal]

He’ll be fine buried as a 6D on the depth chart.

4.875 million for a 6D vs 5.5 million for a fringe 2nd liner. I know which one I would take.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Friedman is smoking up!

We got rid of Domi because we had no room for him and now we will sign Wennberg? Play him where? On the 4th as a winger?

Come on now!

 

[Patagonia]

AVs are ready to offer Jost for Danault.

 

[Captain97]

Play on the third have our 4th line be
Lehk-Evans/free agent-byron

 

[TT1]

imagine thinking Wennberg would replace Danault

 

[YYCLetangStan]

4.875 million for a 6D vs 5.5 million for a fringe 2nd liner. I know which one I would take.

Assuming Josh Anderson ever recovers. Also, Anderson has another year on his deal
