Proposal: McLeod to Habs

[Pierre Lebrun]

New Jersey acquires Alex Galchenyuk in exchange for Michael McLeod.

Why? NJD has the team to make a run this year, and bolsters their scoring without removing any current roster players. Also fills in where Henrique was. NJD was rumored to be interested in Galchenyuk before the season. Timmins was rumored to have wanted McLeod in the 2016 draft and has been fond of him since.

I call that a stretch. They might not even make the po with 5 teams all less than 4 pts behind.

This is a bad idea for the Habs, and it would take much more than McLeod to get Galchenyuk.

Nj doesnt realy need chucky and mcleod isnt worth trading for if chucky is going the other way, theres just no fit there

You do realize that was a Habs fan that made the proposal right?

 

[My3Sons]

Let the Habs stew in their own juices for another year and they can see how great their trading pieces are when they embrace a rebuild. Until then it’s not worth debating.

NJ essentially has the next three years to build a team, two after this one. Hischier and Bratt become RFAs and Hall is a UFA.

If Montreal offered one-for-one, I think the Devils would think long and hard about doing it. Makes no sense for the Canadiens though.

 

[Tripod]

What has McLeod done to have the value of an NHLer who even when he struggles, is still a 45 point winger?

Chucky is 23 we should keep him if we are rebuilding.

Let the Habs hate flow though you...

I don't think you know the definition of "RFA". if you're worried abut that the Devils have just three years to build a team.
Regarding the proposed trade. I'd keep McLeod and with that money that would have been wasted on Chucky, spend his 4.9m (and some more) on a UFA...like Carlson (a Jersey boy) next summer.

Your right on one point. It's not worth debating Alex Galchenyuk in exchange for Michael McLeod because the Habs would never do that.M.B. as bad as he is would never do that so what's that tell you about McLeod's value.

Question,Why are you making such bad proposals especially one's that are terrible for the Habs if your a so called Hab fan?

Not at all. As a NJ fan I have seen the Habs future. Until the franchise accepts they have to retool they are going to continue to think about competing hard right now. Look, NJ did that for a couple of years before they realized the jig was up and they had to tear it all down to start again. MTL may not et there for two years. I agree Galch is young and should stay a Hab but if they don’t want to sign him as a UFA you will have to cross that bridge when you get there. I beat the MTL franchise no ill will. I just think that the arrogant smarmy responses from MTL fans will get tempered if the team jut cleans house and starts over. Right now I agree trading Galch for a prospect or futures deal doesn’t work for MTL but it might after another season.

When did I say I thought MTL should make a deal of that nature or even that the in a vacuum value was even? I have nothing emotional invested in this. You seem to be very strident. As a NJ fan I’m used to fans of other teams on this site suggesting every NJ player is garbage or valueless or has unsustainable scoring. HF posturing isn’t real life and real NHL GMs don’t think like fans. Saying this player or that player is hot garbage doesn’t make MTL any better or any other franchise any worse.

Sucks that Montreal signed him to a bad deal where his deal ends in 2.5 years and is a UFA at age 26.

I know that youre in every habs thread and that all our players are worthless in your mind, but Galchenyuk has value and is still a very good player. Im pretty sure NJ would do this in real world hockey.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Galchenyuk might be able to get you Cody McLeod. Not Mikey.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Chucky is 23 we should keep him if we are rebuilding.

Due to him starting his NHL career very early as a teenager, Galchenyuk is a UFA in 2.5 years when his contract expires.

Yes he's young, yes he's improving, but in a couple of years, they're gonna have to trade him or lose him for nothing, unless they can convince him to sign an extension.

I'm not necessarily saying that they should trade him, but I want to point out that this is a different situation than it would be with many other 23 year old players.

Montreal has lots of time left to figure this out.

No they wouldn't. IT wouldn't be smart to trade McLeod and Henrique in the same year. The centre depth wouldn't be very good. Also New Jersey has plenty of wingers. They don't need another one.

He meant that despite being RFA, Hischier and Bratt will get good raises that will hinder their ability to add good players. Also, Hall being UFA either means give him a raise (hindering again the ability to add players) or let him leave.

The best time is in the next 2 years. It's still possible afterwards, but you lose the advantage of having 2 of your top players on ELC and may lose Hall.
