If you could make a realistic trade who would you bring in?

[Gniwder]

kind of a poor proposal. wavier pick up + a guy who cant crack the worst team in the NHL's top 6/7 for a kid who's probably a legitimate top 4 right now if there was room on his current squad.

come on. you can do better then that.

I don't deny that, but I don't want Bean that badly.

The original offer was Svech for Bean, I threw Cholo in there that's all. I doubt we see any big trades this season, just selling at the deadline.

 

[CREW99AW]

Is Hickey effectively done as an NHL player?

I have been a bigger Hickey fan then many on the NYI board. I think he is fine in a 3rd pairing role.

Report: Montreal Canadiens Make Offer for Pierre-Luc Dubois - NHL Rumors - NHLTradeRumors.Me

apparently CBJ countered & asked for Suzuki, MTL was sad.

So their asking price is equivalent to a young projected 1C. Our 2021 1st unprotected + Ras + Cholo would be my final offer. If they wanted any bottom 6F, bottom 4D they could be included/substituted.

Is he really that good? A 2021 unprotected 1st could legitimately be 1st overall. To trade that, plus two former 1st rounders for him seems like a steep price unless this kid is elite.

I see it as:

3C/W/PPweapon

+ Cholo (likely bust/bottom 5-7dman at best

+ unprotected 1st (could be 1OA or 4th or possibly even 6th-10th) if we pass:
CHI-NJ-OTT-LA-ANA & possibly AZ & MTL. + 1 mystery team that just can't get it together/injured etc. Those 1st 5 teams listed isn't a tall order by any means.

 

[ChrisReevesLegs]

PLD was on pace for 48 pts, then 61 pts, and last year 57 pts.
I get that he's doing this young... but he's not exactly proved he's a dominant NHL force yet either. Watch someone like MTL trade for him and then he turns out to be a perma 50 to 60 pt player who peaked early. That's valuable, but is it worth the price? IDK

Then offer a protected top 5 pick, I just can’t risk a 1st overall pick unless we are getting an elite player back.

I'd love to, but doubt CBJ bites. 21 is the draft to try it in, imo.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

No thx

Too steep of a price. Including a 1st is assine in my opinion.

Wanna offer of
- Rasmussen
- Cholo
- 2nd

Sure

RyJo 2.0 ? Both 6'3" 218lbs.

Actually this is a pretty good take. RyJo makes this team better in the short term, but prolly hurts our chances in the long run of acquiring solid dynasty building pieces. IDK I don't think it's the right time for this kind of player or his price. Stick to the plan. Draft high.

 

[Frk It]

Victor Mete was scratched by Montreal, I’d look into that.

 

[Henkka]

Laine, if he still wants out from the Peg.

Laine, if he still wants out from the Peg.

PLD is cost-prohibitive (a sum we wouldn't wanna pay, but could), but the asking price for Laine is PLD+. No way we get him, nor should we. 1-dimensional, soon to be paid ~$10M+ for a younish winger. He's the opposite of an Yzerman type of player & would set our rebuild back 10 years. Awful.

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

I'd def bring Babcock in

He is not 1-dimensional anymore. Watch the games and sounds like you haven't seen ever any player develop themselves.

Maybe you like games like today when nobody scored? You have to have somebody who puts the puck in the net and pay for him. You can't have a team where nobody isn't a scorer and no one will get paid.

Or othervise you'll rebuild forever.

Think he will be next Oilers coach.

Lol. I've watched hockey since 1975 (age 4) & I've seen plenty of players develop. So your assessment of me is very wrong. Also, I don't like low scoring, boring hockey (contrary to your opinion of me) & yes, I realize we need goalscorers. We don't have the talent to support Laine, especially after a trade that likely guts our team & prospects + pick(s). Especially since he's not known for much else than having a great/accurate shot(s).

If we're gonna trade, go for PLD, or better yet Barkov & Werenski, but we really can't spare much from the roster. So our 1st(s) & prospects would come into play.

 

[Winger98]

RyJo 2.0 ? Both 6'3" 218lbs.

A Johansen level center behind Larkin can anchor a cup contender, imo.

Laine deserves credit, he's evolved his game over the past season or so.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

You vastly overstate Larkin's abilities.

He's our 1st line center out of necessity. Not because he's a true first line center. He's a 2nd line center for the majority of teams in the league. 3rd line on a handful of others.

Soon to be RFA trying to get his big pay day. That seems more likely to me, but sure some credit for effort.

Pierre-Luc Dubois wants to be Montreal Canadien. We are not Montreal Canadiens.

I'm all in for Barkov but a bit sceptical, think Kekäläinen could steal him to Columbus. Players are leaving too much from there, so I think his only option is to build a Team Finland there, or he gets fired sooner or later. Get the best Finnish piece, and others could join.

Werenski could be the Michiganer to come to us.

List the teams with a better 1-2 than Larkin/Johansen. It's not a long list.

Tampa, Toronto, Boston, probably Montreal in 2-3 years and that is only in our division last year. It is a long list.
