Juulsen has no value until he proves the injury issues are behind him. Pointless having a thread until he gets some games under his belt.
Andersen is back from the dead recently in Sweden.
Whether or not he skates up to NHL level remains to be seen, but finally, some improvement.
Lias + DAL 2020 3rd
for
Juulsen + STL 2020 2nd
late picks
Andy disappointment to date, slow reversal, but is elc
Juulsen better player but signif injury history
balanced?
He's only 23, he cracked the NHL and was set to be an NHL regular before eye injury set him back.
I still believe he's going to be an NHL 4d. He's not going to be the top pairing I was hoping but I still see second pairing in him.
Doesn't make a lot of sense to sell cheap on him, I can't see teams lining up to overpay
there is almost no chance of this. I'd be pretty surprised if he even makes the team this year
Juulsen is probably like the 9th or 10th best defensemen the Habs have at this point, so considering that the alternative is (or should be) losing him to waivers, I'd be happy getting a pick back for him.
His time in the NHL was pretty rough and he's dealt with a lot of injuries over the last number of years, so his trade value isn't going to be high enough to land a 2nd round pick or a roster player (like others have suggested in this thread).
imo I'd rather hang on to some of the other fringe NHL defensemen over him, so imo the best case scenario is a trade for a mid round pick (maybe as high as a 3rd? but that seems like wishful thinking) and 2nd best scenario is losing him to waivers. Worst case scenario is MTL hangs on to him and loses another, better defenseman to waivers as a consequence.
Carry 8D, lose no one on waivers. Who is waiver eligible and would get claimed?
Yeah I guess carrying 8D could work, and the only guy who would theoretically be on waivers is Ouellet (who is easily replaceable). But if the Habs only decide to carry 7D (including Juulsen) then it's likely one of Mete or Kulak, and they would be very substantial waiver losses.
Most here are advocating/anticipating 8D.
Fair enough, if they run 8D then MTL isn't really losing anyone of substance (though I'd rather have Ouellet than Juulsen tbh)
If Juulsen can play like he did pre-injuries, he's easily better than Ouellet.
Pre-injury Juulsen wasn't very good imo (at least the NHL version, I never really watched him play in the AHL) and Ouellet is a solid 6/7 defenseman. If we're comparing "NHL Juulsen" to "NHL Ouellet", I don't think he's easily better (though maybe he's better now than he was pre-injury ).
As a habs fan, I would take this deal.RHS, would take him in Calgary. I’d deal a 2nd for him all day.
Strongly disagree.
Juulsen for Niku?for a 2nd i'd move him, for a 3rd i'd think about it, for a midd/late round pick i'd give him a shot to crack the roster
or trade him for another prospect w/ potential that has AHL years left
my gf and I were at that game...Juulsen isn’t a bust. He looked good in the Montreal lineup prior to taking two pucks to the face in the same game. It’s taken a long time to recover, but he’s healthy now. Calling him a bust is myopic
it's an opinion, and it's incorrectPre-injury Juulsen wasn't very good imo (at least the NHL version, I never really watched him play in the AHL) and Ouellet is a solid 6/7 defenseman.
