Proposal: Montreal/New Jersey

[mrinsane]

To Montreal: Michael McLeod, Mirco Mueller, 1rst pick 2019, 2nd pick 2020 and 6th round pick 2020

vs

To New Jersey: Max Pacioretty and Jordie Benn


MTL POV: We all know Habs are in rebuild mode with Weber out until December/January .. still with no true number one center. McLeod is a potential top-6 center with the size Habs need on the middle .. good skills. Mueller is young and could play some minute as 4/5 d-men I think. The bunch of picks will help the Habs to rebuild quickly.

NJ POV: MaxPac is 35 goals proven forward with a new team less pressure should score 35 again. The Devils have the space under the cap for signing him to multiple year. Benn is depth but maybe a new start could be good for him

That’s way too much for a rebuilding team to surrender for a good but not great winger and a meh defender.

 

[Its a Trap]

That’s f***ing atrocious. You certainly lived up to your name here.

It always amazes me when someone purposely chooses to have no ability to ever be taken seriously.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Overpayment for a playoff ghost with no heart & a thrash defenceman.

So a good prospect, a first, a second, decent d prospect, and a late pick for a declining and aging winger 1 year from UFA and looking for a huge payday? I think the Devils pass quite easily. However, it would be nice as an Oil fan to see NJ get shafted this hard in a trade lol.

 

[Taytro]

Wowza, from the outside looking in, this sucks for NJ. 1 year of Patches is not worth half of that. Benn is a mid/late round pick so barely tilts the value.

I keep reading that People aren’t willing to give up a 1st for one year of Pacioretty, So this deal is hard for me to see from a NJ standpoint.

Which is pretty f***ing comical considering shittier players that have gone for a 1st and more.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Maybe for a signed patches on a decent contract, who bounces back a bit, you could get that prolly a bit more.

But for a rental meh.

I want Taylor Hall, on top of that. And also, the 1st from 2020.
We could throw Alzner, for, you know, sweeten the deal.

I see what you did there but in all seriousness if that's the highest we can get for Benn I'd do it.

As for the OP, very risky for the Devils. I think you can even drop McLeod from the deal and I'd still probably do it as a Habs fan (I kinda still like Müller a lot so yeah).

 

[Classic Devil]

No.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I keep reading that People aren’t willing to give up a 1st for one year of Pacioretty, So this deal is hard for me to see from a NJ standpoint.

The 1st is not the major problem... the prospect after the 1st that we are asking for is the problem with most teams. My minimum asking price is a 1st, 2nd, and a future conditional 2nd if he re-signs.

And I don't think the Devils are a good for trying to acquire Patch.

 

[bobholly39]

Montreal should just trade Pacioretty for Tatar.

Than at TDL flip Tatar for a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd round pick.

 

[Stuzchuk]

1- That's way too much from NJ... they are trying to build a team with depth and this is taking too much depth too early in their rebuild
2- I see Paccioretty being move but closer to the deadline to a top 8 team for about the same return that Kovalchuk got from NJ (late 1st, half decent youngish roster player, a prospect with upside with lower chance to make it to the NHL)

I think the Devils gave alot more then what you are saying, but I also think Kovalchuk was better. They traded a 28 year old top 4 (Oduya), a 23 yo top 6 (Bergfors, 0.5ppg), A good prospect who was projected as an elite grinder/middle six player (Cormier) + 2010 1st round pick (#24-Kevin Hayes) + 2010 2nd round pick (#54-Justin Holl)

NJ acquired Salmela who projected as an offensive D and the 2010 2nd round pick (#38-Jonathon Merrill)

 

[Devilsrock17]

Hell no to Jordie Benn lmao

 

[Hockeyholic]

Jordie Benn is a # 7 D at best. He's atrocious.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Terrible proposal.

You guys are still convinced Pacioretty will land you a king's ransom? Adorable.
