Speculation: Montreal is now clearly a seller

[Mandala]

Hard to admit but Montreal is now a seller.

There will be trades but involving who?

Would love to play a guessing game and predict a trade.

The Leafs? Montreal could take cap for prospects or picks.

What you guys think?

I think they are not sellers. Yet.

What kind of clause does Kovalchuk have? A lot of teams might not mind paying him that contract if he continues to put up points.

Not yet.

A 7 point gap between the habs and the WC #2 spot won't stop Bergevin from going all in.

 

[habamillions]

With Bergevin as gm montreal has no direction at all. He has no clue what he is doing

Ilya Kovalchuk - CapFriendly - Masses salariales LNH

They wont be sellers until the last possible moment because Bergevin is completely delusional. I don't see them moving any significant players.

Kovalchuk, Byron, Kulak, and Cousins are probably the most likely to be available, if teams are interested. I don't see them moving guys like Tatar, Lehkonen, or Petry, and they 100% wont be trading anybody from their core.

The Habs haven't bought into a full on rebuild yet, and there's no reason to believe that this season will be any different under Bergevin.

 

[Hockey Stick]

Well they're not going to be selling much, so I wouldn't really call them sellers.

Side note, they're not a team incapable of making the playoffs. Wins are tough to come by when you have top players like Gally, Armia, Drouin, etc. out for extended periods of time

 

[smitty10]

I thought they just signed Kovy?

 

[Leafs87]

What’s the price on Kovalchuk?

 

[Legend123]

What’s the price on Kovalchuk?

Nothing much. Just a Turcotte

 

[Gecklund]

I think a swap of Dillon for a winger would be good. Gives MTL a LD to pair with Weber or Petry and they got lots of wingers/forwards.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Scandella (50% retained) for a 2nd
Kovalchuk for a 3rd
Cousins for a 4th
Thompson for a 5th
Kinkaid for a 7th

Pens junk for Gallagher.

 

[DarthProbert]

Well that would explain why they gave up a draft pick for Scandella and then signed Kovalchuk, all in the last week.

/s ffs

 

[HabsInsider]

100% we should be sellers. We should be committed to a rebuild.

I feel bad for Carey and Shea. They should be moved ASAP to contending teams.

I feel bad for Claude. He's been doing his best with a mediocre roster but is likely to take the fall when we're officially eliminated from playoff contention.

I feel bad for the fans, too. We deserve better from this GM and organization.

Instead, MB thinks he can still salvage things when it simply isn't going to happen. Aside from our young and skilled prospects, no one should be untouchable. It's time to begin a new era.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Pens junk for Gallagher.

Pens have some broken toys we wouldn't mind playing with...

 

[Maitz]

If they can move Tatar Byron and a bunch of 3rd-4th liner like Armia,Cousins,Weal I’ll be happy

 

[Steeler23]

Kovalchuk will gain value until the deadline and we swapped Reilly+4th for Scandella+5th. We swap a 4th for a 5th to get rid of Reilly 1.5m next year.

 

[Steeler23]

Habs fans should be ban from the Trade Rumors board for 24h after a bad game, enough to breathe and let the over reaction drop.

Optics. Clearly they are in sell mode, the writing has been on the wall for a bit.

 

[Brownies]

We lose but I love our players !!!! Nooooo !

 

[LMFAO]

The only guy with value that makes sense/realisticly to trade is Tatar.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Gallagher plz

Thanx,
Penz

Montreal trades tatar at 50% retained.

Price is: 1st, 2nd ,3rd or 1st b prospect.
