Proposal: Montreal/Winnipeg (Not Laine related)

[Le Barron de HF]

To Montreal: Kulikov + 2020 3rd round pick + 2022 6th round pick

To Winnipeg: Reilly + Waked

Why does Montreal do this? They take advantage of their cap space and get an adequate 7th D instead of icing Alzner. They get rid of a contract spot and get picks (they could sign a guy like Hawel if he has a good camp).

Why does Winnipeg do this? They get cap space for Laine and Connor.

I'd rather have Reilly than Kulikov as a 7thD... so I'd say no. Picks aren't enticing at all to take Kulikov IMO.

2020 3rd round pick + 2022 6th round pick

change this for a 2nd 2020 and we have a deal

 

[Prairie Habs]

Weber
Petry
Mete
Juulsen
Chiarot
Kulak
Folin
Reilly

With fluery and brook on the farm

Why do you think alzner is pencilled in to the lineup right now?

 

[Baksfamous112]

No chance I take on Kulikov without a first coming back.

Edit: Alzner isn’t going to be our 7th D. Most likely Folin, Juulsen or Brook. We have a lot of options before Alzner

 

[Jeti]

The Jets have enough cap space for Laine and Connor.

Kulikov was good 2 years ago but bad last year. The Jets D is depleted enough to take the chance he bounces back. If they didn't think so, they could've bought him out this summer.

I want Juulsen to play in the AHL and I don't want a young player as the extra D right now.

Kulikov has one year left on his contract at a reasonable cap hit and he's a very serviceable #4. A few days ago he said he finally felt 100% for the first time since the injury, so the liability just isn't there. There is no chance that it requires a 1st to move him. I think we should roll with him this year anyway.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Remove the draft picks and I'm interested.

Kulikov for Reilly.

I haven't quite figured out if you're just trolling Jets fans to be a dick for fun or if you're really just out to lunch. He's got 1 year left on his deal.. If he was making over 5 mil with 2 + years remaining a 1st wouldn't be so unreasonable.

You think I’m trolling? Fine. Give me one good reason for the Habs to absorb that contract/money for two picks who has ~5% and >1% chance of making it to the NHL, let alone be relevant.

Seriously, what’s in it for Montreal?

Please. He’s barely an NHL caliber player at this point. He’s the definition of a cap dump

Well, he's better than the guy you just signed to $3.5m x 3 years, for starters..

Hes better than Chiarot even when he has a back injury.

Then why are you guys so anxious to dump him for a 7-8th D when ya’ll are currently stuck with two NHL caliber LHD?

 

[danyhabsfan]

I'd probably do it. We could move Kulikov at the deadline.

He is in the final year of his contract and we have the cap space.

 

[Daximus]

Then why are you guys so anxious to dump him for a 7-8th D when ya’ll are currently stuck with two NHL caliber LHD?

I'm not, I'd rather keep him and see what he can do healthy, with only one year left on his deal it makes little sense to try and move him until we are closer to the deadline and possibly out of the playoffs. Pretty sure a Habs fan started the thread anyways. So maybe go throw rocks at him.

Good. Because we have no use for him and I’m pretty sure we’d prefer to not spend the remaining of our cap for a 7th D.

Case closed

I really don't think we are. But if it's the difference between retaining Laine and Connor, the choice is obvious.
That said, Morrissey, Kulikov, Niku and Beaulieu are all serviceable NHLers in some capacity. We could live without Kuli, but it would be a downgrade.

Well for one you have one guy who said he would do Kulikov for Reilly straight up. Then you have another one who said there’s only a year left and he “doubt” it would take a first to move him. Then we have another guy call him a serviceable top 4?

All I said was it would take a first round pick for the Habs to take on the contract and I asked one good reason for us to accept anything less than that and I have yet to see someone offer one single good reason so far.

Looking at jets depth on D, maybe retain 30% on Alzner and ship him to winnipeg for a 7th rd pick.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Hes better than Chiarot even when he has a back injury.

Why is the Peg so anxious to move a dman better than Chairot with their depleted Dcorps?

 

[Just Linda]

How about an even simpler trade

Reilly for a 5th

Reilly likely becomes a waiver casualty anyways, he wouldn't clear and this gives Winnipeg a 7th D for likely around what his worth is.

Montreal doesn't exactly need bottom 4 D, this trade doesn't really help anyone out as originally posted.

(Maybe a 4th, definitely less than a 3rd)
