We are not trading our fisrt pick , just not happening.

Maybe a Prospect like Brook or Ylonen or Struble instead.

This makes no sense for the Habs, they need a left dman before anything else...

 

[Viqsi]

Anderson still will not be traded.

I won't get into whether the value is fair or not...

but it makes zero sense for CBS as far as needs and what they are trying to do.

 

[Steeler23]

Columbus fans don't want to trade Anderson, just like Habs fans never wanted to trade Gallagher. This thread won't end well.

PS: Murray is still injured (with a broken hand), why would you want him?

 

[ole ole]

Habs are not trading their 1st rd pick.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I like how Habs fans are saying no because they don't want to trade their 1st, while this deal is absurdly lopsided in value towards them.

It doesn't matter that it's in our favor, the Habs are not going anywhere with or without Anderson. Their focus has to be on the future so trading what could be a top 10 pick in what could be strong draft that the Habs are hosting, it's highly unlikely they would trade their 1st this year and hopefully not next year unless it's to get someone they think can be a top pairing LD at some point in the next few years.

I wouldn't have any trouble trading Gallagher as long as the price was worth it.

 

[Viqsi]

Technically, the same is true of us and Andy. It's just that what we would judge "worth it" is partially determined by whether or not fans from the other team are howling in outrage as to the price.

That’s bad for Columbus

I'm guessing because it's a potential lottery pick. Habs are going to be a bubble team at best for the next few years.

Good thing you don't gamble because your way off on your guesses let alone your lack of hockey knowledge.

You think the Habs are going to make the playoffs for sure next year?

 

[montreal]

he's right though most likely.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

No from MTL, our first pick can be a top-10.

 

[majormajor]

Why would Columbus do that?

The one position we should be talking about in a trade between these two teams is LHD.

I personally think there was a good deal for both clubs in a Ryan Murray trade. I don't remember the exact parameters discussed back last summer but I liked the deal worked out where Montreal sends a 2nd rounder for each time he plays 40 games a year, and an additional 3rd if he hits 70 games, and the conditions run for two years. So two full seasons for Murray equates to 2 2nds and 2 3rds. If he plays 35 games one year and 65 the next, it's just a 2nd rounder total. You get the idea.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

I would be interested in Nutivaara though


Byron + Ylonen

Lollll so true

 

[Captain Mountain]

Montreal's probably not trading their first and Columbus is not trading Anderson.

 

[Ronald Bourgogne]

Yeah, and we could do far worse than picking a Josh Anderson. If Montreal is serious about winning short term, now's the time. Not willing to miss a chance at Lafreniere this year though...

Montreal isn't serious about winning short term.

Our owner has come out and said fans will need to be patient as it could take up to 8 years, so clearly they aren't serious about winning short term.

 

[Viqsi]

I would be interested in Nutivaara though


Byron + Ylonen

That does nothing useful for us. We are seriously overstrength at RW; adding two more RWs for one of our more versatile defenders (who usually plays RD for us) makes no sense.

 

[The Great Weal]

I like how Habs fans are saying no because they don't want to trade their 1st, while this deal is absurdly lopsided in value towards them.

Ya giving up a top 9 forward and an unprotected 1st that will likely be top 15 at the very worst for a guy with a career high of 47 points sounds like a great idea.
