Proposal: Lafinere (Oilers) to Habs

[PresidentWU]

Habs give
Primeau
Mete
Kulak
Romanov
Caufield
and a first

Oilers clearly need D they get 2 pretty ok D and 1 solid prospect.

Add in Caufeild and Primeau and I think we're close. Oilers need depth not a star forward.

Oilers if they do win the first pick politely decline. They need a ELC star more then spare parts as most everyone would to be honest.

 

[edguy]

too much quantity not enough quality, don't know that the Habs have the quality readily available to do it

 

[FedorTyutin]

Now its no more a question, we Habs fans won't get him.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Isn't Edmonton mostly lacking quality top-6ers? Why would they trade him unless they're getting some kind of impossible-to-lose 2-for-1 deal from another team?

Montreal aren't making that trade.

Montreal aren't making that trade.

I would definitely decline trading that package for Lafinere, who I have never heard of before today.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Neither team does it.

The only reasonable offer I'd accept is 3 & 5 from OTT.

 

[CanadienShark]

What in the world....?

No piece there comes close to being a centerpiece in a Lafreniere trade. There are only two pieces of interest (the best two in the offer), and they're add on pieces, if anything.

You could take out Kulak and Mete, who hold zero value to Edmonton, and that deal remains laughably bad for Edmonton.

To be clear, I really like those pieces for Montreal and they're in their best interests to hold on and forget about Lafreniere. They just don't hold the same trade value now.

Lafreniere you've heard of though . Montreal wouldn't make that trade.

 

[Just Linda]

1) Lafreniere is exactly what Edmonton needs. High end winger on an ELC

2) Lafreniere would cost Montreal Suzuki+ a lot of other major assets. The cost to get him would gut the Habs, wouldn't be worth it at all.

Where's the reasonable offer in your post? That's an absurd offer. I do agree that it'd take an absurd offer to move that pick if I had it though.

 

[The Nuge]

So you decide the Oilers need defense, and then don’t offer a single dman that would make the Oilers roster? I’d definitely have interest in Caufield and Romanov, but they don’t interest me enough to give up Lafreniere if we win 1st overall. We need a legit top 6 forward, a 3C, and a goalie. This offer has none of those.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

The Oilers have insufficient funds of 1st overalls left.
Please, let it be someone else, anyone else but them

 

[Big Empty]

Lafreniere will never be a Hab

 

[Devilinlillinois]

No team that gets Laf is going to trade him just stop..

 

[sansabri]

Lafreniere will never be a Hab

maybe in 7 years

Lafreniere is on a tier of his own. Clearly better than others.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

The Oilers are a work in progress. Yes we have 2 amazing star forwards and a few other good pieces but we lack quality depth and need at minimum 1 top 6 winger, if not 2. Laf is exactly what we’d need and hope Bouchard is ready to make an impact offensively even if he has to be sheltered.

My point is Laf wouldn’t be traded at all. Especially when you consider the elc contract and that we can’t afford the proven players someone could offer

 

[Tanknation]

We are not gutting our farm for one player. Ridiculous post

Sorry I worded that wrong. The only offer I'd accept is 3 & 5 baring any unreasonable offers. It's not a smart thing to do and OTT shouldn't but it's something within the realm of possibility and public conversations that I've seen that I'd be interested.

Not for Lafinere... Maybe for Lafrenière

 

[Halla]

take away the junk and Romanov, Caufield and a mid 1st is actually decent value but the oilers still decline

 

[Chayos]

Montreal aren't making that trade.

Of course not. This is an automatic agree for the oilers. Romanov plus all That is worth making his deal.

 

[Xirik]

if Edmonton got 1st overall Id say try to raid the Av's Defensive prospect pantry with a trade.
