Proposal: Oilers/Habs V 2.0 Nuge for Galchenyuk

[Jumptheshark]

One for one nothing else involved--when other stuff gets added things fall apart

Ryan Nugent Hopkins for Alex Galchenyuk

Contracts

Galchenyuk 4.9 till 2020
Nuge 6mil til 2021

this is one deal that both sides may hate--but to me it makes sense

I am over due for my flaming for all the trash talk I do for bad trades--so it is my turn to get called out for being silly

[rent free]

both teams will say no. they will defend their own player and say "if you're player is so good why don't you just keep him?"

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Not interested

 

[tempest2i]

This would be Eberle for Strome 2.0

The Habs would get the significantly better player
The Oilers would get a project and a little cap relief

That's not a trade the Oilers should make if they're trying to make their team better.

 

[MSSLYNX]

Makes more sense than most proposals tbh.
Wont be popular because fans hope for a Duchene-like return.
Drouin goes back to wing.
Saw RNH play yesterday. He was very good and on the ice for all the important situations.

I disagree. It can be your opinion and that's cool but if you think this would be a Strome situation you don't know Chucky to well.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Not the worst proposal, but I'd prefer to keep Nuge.

The Habs would win a Galchenyuk for Nuge, one-for-one trade easily.

In fact it's such a lop-sided trade proposal that I'm legitimately concerned that Chia may do it in an attempt to save his own job. It would be just another in a long line of disastrous decisions if the Oilers to make that trade.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Just thought I'd point out that Strome only has six less points than Galchenyuk, plays centre, hasn't gotten crushed into the dust at ES, and is much cheaper.

RNH >> Galchenyuk > Strome - trading Nuge for Galchenyuk would be like Montreal dealing Galchenyuk for Strome.

I don't disagree with you there, I personally would do i simply because of positioning difference and I really like Nuge. I just don't think it would be as much of a project as you may think is all. Don't worry though Bergevin wouldn't touch it.

Edit: Let's be real a big Montreal-Edmonton deal won't happen because both GM's can't lose the trade haha

 

[Stripper]

Habs could have had NH last year or the season prior to that when he was "struggling". Yet, no one wanted to even give a late 1st for a 1st overall bust lol. Edmonton should only trade NH for a premium return.

Trade values change. Players get better or worse.

 

[tempest2i]

Well on the plus side for Oilers fans, Bergevin might be the only GM in the league that's worse at his job than Chia. So the odds of Montreal actually going through with this trade seem pretty slim.

It's ok if you don't want to make the trade.... but that's just plain disrespect right there

 

[ole ole]

2nd line winger for a 2nd line center. Habs win by a Hair player wise,Oilers win by a bit contract and age wise.

never realized a 30 goal scorer at 21 was a 'project' but thx for-coming out

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Not that it's exactly enjoyable being an Oil fan at the moment but this deal would make a terrible year even worse. No interest in moving our only secondary scorer and center depth in the hopes that Galchenyuk turns it around.

 

[vokiel]

Not a chance in hell.

Players regress, it happens. Galchenyuk might never approach the 30 goal mark again. The talent is there, but something is missing

 

[CREW99AW]

Not the worst proposal, but I'd prefer to keep Nuge.

Given the choice, I would choose RNH.He is really underrated on these boards.

 

[rockinghockey]

Would rather keep RNH, why five up a complete centre man that has also drastically improved on the dot. I would trade for Gal but not what Habs fans will want.

I feel like any significant trade involving Montreal and Edmonton would likely have to include a third team to take any of the good players involved.

 

[The Great Weal]

Absolutely not.

I dont get why you think so.
Both will be 24 in a month.
Production kind of similar
RNH is more expensive but a real C.
Could jumpstart Drouin.

The AG-RNH as base seems pretty fair to me.

But i dont think Edm would see great interest in it besides the 2 mil cap relief if they are tight. But easy to solve.

Threesomes are rare.

 

[Roof Daddy]

That's a big pass for the Oil. Chucky might bring a bit more skill to the table and a cheaper contract, but Nuge plays in all situations and still produces at a decent clip. He's been our 3rd best player this year behind the big two.
