Proposal: Oilers/Habs V 2.0 Nuge for Galchenyuk

[Habsrule]

I would do it from a Habs point of view.

Actually just to throw another offer out there....Nugent-Hopkins for Pacioretty.

 

[A91]

As a fan of both teams (99.9% Oilers/0.1% Habs) this is very bad for the Oil. Galchy is still raw Montreal have done a horrible job developing him.
Nuge is a 55-60 point centerman who can play and succeed in any situation. Worth alot more than Galchy

 

[57special]

As a trade to shake up both franchises, why not? What have they got to lose?

 

[Sugi21]

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

I'd trade Pac's I'm keeping Chucky!

 

[Stripper]

Trade values change. Players get better or worse.

Sure, but the fact that people do a complete 360 and change their mind on a player that supposedly sucked is obnoxious. No one wants an underperforming player but everyone wants him once he figures his stuff out again. In RNHs case, a leap of faith would have done wonders for Montreal. Would also have been a better calculated risk than Sergachev for Drouin as a center.

 

[McFlyingV]

Edmonton's gotten worse from trades enough in the past 2 years. We don't need to lose yet another trade.

 

[zar]

Want nothing to do with Galchenyuk for RNH.

 

[Benstheman]

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

McJesus

 

[tony d]

Yeah, on the surface it's a good deal for 2 guys who need a change of scenery but I get the sense both teams will want more in return than just 1 player.

 

[Benstheman]

What's interesting is Galchenyuk (or Pacioretty) would become your best winger. By far. Now RNH would become our best center. By far. Doesn't it make sense??

As a Habs fan though, i agree we would have to add a serviceable piece to the trade. How about Galchenyuk + Byron for RNH and a 3rd pick?

 

[Seachd]

McJesus

You’re saying McDavid set up most of Galchenyuk’s goals that year?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Hell no from Mtl.

Good Lord.

Marc Bergevin, is that you?

 

[Benstheman]

Huh??

No just saying Galchenyuk is a pure goal scorer and just needs a center to set him up.

 

[TFHockey]

Good Lord.

Marc Bergevin, is that you?

The irony of that statement is that you seem to think Montreal doesn't come out ahead on that trade. Edmonton doesn't deal RNH for 1.5 years of Patches, as had been said a hundred times on these boards. If you haven't been following the Oilers this year RNH has been one of the few bright spots night in and night out in the lineup. Edmonton fans are loath to trade him.

Pacioretty goes to a contender at the deadline. That's my guess.

And most of Habs fans won't deal Patches for freaking RNH.
We need a center, but RNH isn't the answer.
Not that he's bad or anything, just not good enough.
Our main problem is that we can't put a damn puck in the net to save our lives.
RNH won't help at that. Patches might.
And maybe he'll get trade. I want him to be trade because I hate his guts. But not for RNH.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

What a brutal trade for the Oilers...

Lucic almost has double Galchenyuk's 5v5 points.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Huh??

No just saying Galchenyuk is a pure goal scorer and just needs a center to set him up.

You don't actually think that's true do you?

 

[Frank Drebin]

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?"

Huh? I'd do this easily from a MTL POV.

Yet most Montreal fans would jump at it . When fans of your team are all in for a trade you are either overrating your player or underrating the other teams player . Stand pat and draft a centre with your pick which should be a high one

Thing is early lists i've checked do not have great options for centers around the Habs expected slot. Could be a case of trading down about 5-10 spots though.

 

[mikeyp24]

Bad deal for the Habs. Not a huge fan of either player but Nuge is what he is.

 

[BudBundy]

And why exactly does RNH need a change of scenery? Know who is tied with McDavid to lead our team in goals this year?

 

[DatSnipeMatthews]

Dislike both teams but it's RNH and it's not close.
