Proposal: MTL-COL

[A Loyal Dog]

Future considerations


Alzner
4th 2018 (WPG)


Habs need to rid this shit contract ASAP and offer max-everything to Tavares (haha it'll never happen, but I need an excuse to get rid of Alzner's shit contract).
Avs need to take some cap $ to at least "hit the floor".

Avs, do the Habs a solid and take on a 4 year deal and block their own prospects for what is essentially an early 5th round pick? They'll hit the floor by just re-signing their own players and maybe a mid level FA or two.

 

[tucker3434]

We don’t want that bad contract either.

 

[Freudian]

Good sales pitch.

 

[BLNY]

Only a team in danger of not reaching the cap floor will take it, and then you likely have to "pay" them to do it. I've been resigned to a buyout since January.

 

[RandomAvsFan]

Absolutely not. How does this benefit the Avalanche? We get a terrible player, on a terrible contract.

 

[Meeqs]

Avs will have no problem reaching the cap floor, lets say by signing JT instead of taking on that garbage contract.

Taking on cap hit in the NHL is expensive. Taking on 4 more years of term generally costs at least a 1st and with how bad MTL is we can see where that leaves things.

If you want to clear cap that badly swap Alzner with a player the Avs would actually want.

I can't think of what is more delusional, thinking this is a good trade or that JT would ever want to go to the dumpster fire that is MTL where he would get paid less to play on a team with no chance of success for the next 5 years minimum

Would avs fan do this if Habs retain 20%?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

It would take so, so much more then a 4th rounder for the Avs to take a dead contract worth almost 5M for the next 4 years.



2019 1st is what it would take. You're not dumping $18M for less then that.

 

[RandomAvsFan]

Would avs fan do this if Habs retain 20%?

No. We don't want Alzner and his terrible contract.

Habs have like 18 million in cap room, and free agents won't sign here . Why would they give up a 4th to move Alzner?

 

[chet1926]

I guess the OP should never go into sales... as the line, "I need an excuse to get rid of Alzner's **** contract" is probably the worst sales pitch of all time.

As for the deal, absolutely not. What incentive do the Avs get for taking on that garage contract? A 4th round pick? That's absolute garbage.

The Avs have no incentive to take on bad contracts. We'll get to the cap floor, without doing other teams massive favors.

 

[crowi]

Add 1st + 2nd from MTL.

Retain 50%

 

[rent free]

montreal would have to throw in a first round pick, which they shouldn't do, so it wouldn't be worth trading alzner at all.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

going to need a large plus from montreal's side

 

[Cousin Eddie]

No reason for Colorado to agree to that.

Would take something like 3rd OA + Alzner for 16th OA for Colorado to agree. Montreal has no reason to do that though.

Don’t see a fit.
