Proposal: Montreal - Columbus

[elitepete]

I see that the Habs decent start to the season has emboldened some of their fans to resume poor trade proposals. Good stuff.

you would think that it would have the opposite effect, yet here we are.

We'll revisit this if he's still producing at similar rates at this time next year as a center. 'Till then, too soon.

EDIT: Before half the Habs fanbase explodes at me, what I mean by that is that I don't expect Domi's current shooting percentage to last, but if that comes down to something more reasonable and all else remains equal he'd still be around ~.7 PPG, which could make for a worthy conversation.

If Max is producing at a similar rates at this time next year as a center why would we downgrade to PLD and add a 2nd?

 

[Hostile Offer]

On another note, is Ryan Murray available? What would be the cost for him alone?

 

[beowulf]

And the Jackets say yes for what reason?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

PLD is damn near as untouchable as Jones is.

Montreal get Pierre-Luc Dubois and Ryan Murray.
Columbus get Jonathan Drouin, Victor Mete and two 2nd round pick 2019 (MTL and CLB).

It's clear why the Habs do it , no explanation needed but I was wondering why you think Columbus would agree ? Enlighten us please .

Makes sense to me. I guess some folks are just that impatient, especially when it comes to French-Canadian players who aren't on the Habs.

There’s fans like that on every team. It’s just that we have a couple more than others and they’re louder

Not likely. A minority had wanted him moved in the past while about 75% were ok with talking trade if it was like a Duchene deal but right now he is too much of what we need. We have Gavrikov coming next year and we will have an insane top 6 for all under 6mil.

Im sure a move COULD happen but it would have to make sense.

Where's the downgrade? PLD has a higher ceiling, is younger and has produced more at the the same age as Drouin. PLD is a huge step up.

...you didn't actually read that edited-in paragraph, did you.

Well, Torts just decided to experiment with splitting up Werenski and Jones, so Murray is currently playing on the top pairing. You can probably figure it out from there.

Seems awful for CBJ. What about this is positive for them, OP? I see the positives from a MTL perspective since they're butchering the Jackets in the trade. But I fail to see why the Blue Jackets want to demoralize their team and fanbase by being a farm team for MTL.

If the bolded happens, there isn't much chance Montreal trades Domi for PLD.

 

[Le Tricolore]

This has gone about as well as expected. I'll close it now.
