Proposal: Montréal and Edmonton

[McDNicks17]

Who is playing on Ceci's pairing if the Oilers trade Ceci and Savard "would obviously play on the third pairing", like you said?

 

[ole ole]

Ceci and Savard are essentially interchangeable players at this point in their respective careers. This trade has the Oilers losing a quarter million in cap space and they get older on D and pay a 1st for the opportunity.

No thank you.

Sure bud. You keep Ceci and we will happily keep Savard who is a lot better .

I seen a

Trade similar to this on YouTube ( Post on Top Shelf Hockey ). It had a few more pieces in it from Montreal

To the Oilers

Gallagher retained down to dollars match
Primeau
Savard

To Montreal

Ceci
Campbell
2024 1st

I wouldn't do it as an Oiler fan.

Pretty sure Hab fans feel the same. Funny part is you want the Habs to retain.

Campbell’s dead cap would require 3 x 1sts. He is a non starter.

Ceci is not a dman the Habs want.

 

[ole ole]

Montreal Canadiens’ general manager Kent Hughes confirmed with media that the team has no intentions of parting ways with defenseman David Savard. Savard, currently in his third season with the Canadiens, secured a four-year, $14 million contract through unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2021, marking a significant move in his 11-year career, as he returned to his hometown team.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Oilers are trying to upgrade Ceci not pay to downgrade.

Savard is washed, maybe a top 4 defender on a trash team like Montreal but not on good teams.

 

[OG Eberle]

Savard is on another tier completly than Ceci tho

Ceci is borderline NHL caliber, Savard would be a top tier 3rd pair that can play on second pair

I don't reckon I've ever heard anyone tout someone as a "top tier" third pairing player.

Mind listing the top 3rd pairing dmen in the league so I can guage where his value falls?

First time I've heard of a 5/6 dman being told they're worth a 1st

Why a first?

- Because since you're having a good year, your first Will most likely be in the botton 10 anyway

- Because younsre upgrading, while we are going to take on Ceci, Who would go directly in Laval

Taking Campbell while retaining on Gallagher would cost Much more than only a low first

 

[Bouboumaster]

What? LOL What?

So Ceci is barely an NHLer and we have a new classification.. an "elite 3rd pairing"? AHAHAHA man you are really reaching here. I applaud your chuzpah.

What I meant was that if you play Savard on your 3rd Line, you're pretty loaded on defense, since he can Play Higher on the line-up, while Ceci straight up suck and his current gig with the Oilers is most likely his last job at the NHL level

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Mtl fans have 1st rounder fever. Understandably.

 

[Seachd]

You seem really confused.

You seem to think Ceci is a cap dump, which, if that’s the case, shows you don’t know how hockey works.

Montreal's players are trashes according to HFBoard posters. It's quite understandable that we got fever because we got so many 1st picks for these good-for-nothing players.

Oh , I’d be riding high after the Monahan return too. No doubt.
And adding the Lindholm value, it only drives up the price. BUT, you’ll have a hard time getting value on hf.

Montreal Canadiens’ general manager Kent Hughes confirmed with media that the team has no intentions of parting ways with defenseman David Savard.

great link! Thanks for the information. Didnt know that Hughes has confirmed that Savard is unavailable. Great decision IMO. We still need him badly next year, which is a year where we can make the playoffs, believe it or not folks

 

[pth2]

Savard will only get dealt if there's a significant overpayment. This isn't it.

Otherwise.... hearing Edmonton fans hate on Ceci for the whole season makes it curious to see them now saying how he's a fine top-4 option that doesn't need to be upgraded on.

If one believes those fans earlier this season, this trade would fill a need.
If one believe them in this thread, Edmonton's top-4 is fine for a Cup run and all they need is perhaps depth for injury insurance for the playoffs.

Taking Campbell while retaining on Gallagher would cost Much more than only a low first

So because you don't know how to evaluate hockey talent outside your team (or frankly on your team), everyone else should fall in line?

You've yet to tell us how Savard is an upgrade on Ceci

Or list all these 5/6 dmen in the league that are "top tier" and worth a 1st, regardless of where that first is picked.

Maybe it's you who look at Cody f***ing Ceci with rose tainted glasses?
We've got to watch him since the good ol' Sens days, he was so-so than, and he's bad now


He do what Ceci does, but he's pretty much a huge upgrade at everything

Again, it's not only the fact that you get Savard, but also the fact that we are stucked with Ceci for 1 year
Basically a low first is the price of getting an actual good defenseman while getting ride of your garbage

You seem really confused.

He is a cap dump, and if you think he's good, I don't know what to tell you, man

 

[OG Eberle]

Translation: I watched this player 5+ seasons ago and hated him then. I have not watched him since, But rather than letting other people know that, I will just assume he's **** to fit my narative and double down on my **** offer that I'm being roasted on universally.

God, pull your zipper up. Your massive bias is showing

I'm pretty sure everyone who hasn't watched Ceci this year are the ones hating on Ceci. Oilers fans are quite happy with him this season and have been very vocal about it.

God, you and Boubou should get a room at this point.

 

[Rob Sense]

Like Matheson was earlier this season? You overrate your Habs defensemen.

You'd have a tough time trading Savard without retaining a portion of his contract.

The Oilers don't need any third pairing defensemen and if they're trading Ceci to upgrade, it would be for a tangible upgrade and someone with actual mobility.

yeah...we overrate everything and magically it all comes true. Savard is way better than Ceci and he will garner more than you think. Need proof? re: Monahan, Chiarot, etc.

I wouldn't do it as an Oiler fan.

I wouldn't do it as a Montreal fan. Retention for that long? Nope. Plus at least Gallagher can still contribute on an NHL club. Campbell is pure cap dump.

Honestly Montreal would be better off just retaining on Savard and getting a good return for him. They should stay far away from Ceci, Campbell and 4 years of retained salary on Gallagher

Translation: I'm a fanboy of the Oilers and can't accept that I'm told that the player suck. I'll only recognise it when he's out of the team
Stop being such a fanboi and open your eyes

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

No from MTL, we can get a 2nd for Savard, without taking a bad contract for another year or lose a pick...

No Oilers fans are saying they don’t need to upgrade Ceci, management knows he’s the weak link in the top 4 for a team trying to contend. But if they’re going out and spending a 1st or more then they aren’t looking at the garbage pile that is the Montreal Canadiens for upgrades, they’re gonna aim higher. That’s all Oilers fans are saying.

 

[La Bamba]

Savard is not an upgrade lmao

No interest in the Habs trash players

Oiler fans can want an upgrade on Ceci while also recognizing that ain’t David Savard. Especially at the cost of a higher cap hit and a 1st rounder.

For every Monahan you’ve also got an Edmundson which Hans fans demanded a 1st for years before your team dumped him for basically nothing while also retaining on his salary.
