Proposal: Oilers | Panthers - Canadiens

[McSuper]

Not a chance from the Habs.
I don't understand why you think the Habs would even consider this?

Some fans think it is an auction and throw lowball bids out there hoping the get excepted. They fail to realize the seller can set a reserve on their asset.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I wonder if the Habs still value Xborg?

Otherwise maybe the Habs can think about it like this: they were given a first from Calgary to take Monahan as a cap dump.

Giving Monhan to us now that his career is recusitated for McLeod and Xavier Bourgault inflicts maximum spite-damage to Calgary.

It's like an extra twist of the knife.


It would be so delicious.

No, we have no use for Bourgault. It has to be big. Oilers sent three scouts to last night's Canadiens game. Upon top of following the Habs for a month. They not to be spending that much time on Montreal for one player

 

[ole ole]

Habs offer Oilers Monahan for cap dump like Ceci and unprotected first?

Habs just laugh it off.

Still 3 Oilers scouts at tonight's Colombus game. They going to a lot of trouble following Habs around. Has to be big, Edmonton spending this much time on Montreal. Been this way for 3 weeks. Montembeault played last night.

And Monty played great. Habs need to sign Monty.

 

[viceroy]

It's so weird how Edmonton is the only NHL team that doesn't need to worry about being salary cap compliant.

You don't get it, FLA and MTL also get to retain for the privilege of helping out EDM.

 

[TFHockey]

Well if Zadorov lands a 3rd and a 5th but Calgary fans posted over and over it'll be a 1st rounder, what do you think a goalie out of Montreal actually gets? Anything close to what the posters on here claim?

And what are they claiming because the posters on here are talking about Monahan.
I hope we resign Monty.
Hopefully get a pick for Allen.

Some reason that hasn't been done though.

 

[TFHockey]

Based on time on ice (and the eye test) he's actually playing 2C. And doing it with one of the best faceoff percentages in the league. Don't want to pay appropriate value fir him? Fine. Some one will (assuming MO treal has any interest in moving him.)

Oilers first for Monahan is fair trade.

It's what similar players went for in past.

You guys were right! I thought a 1st was too much for Monahan and yet here we are.

I was hoping for a first. Wasn't sure though. Canucks trade helped

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Woof. Imagine if this busted-ass trade had gone through.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Woof. Imagine if this busted-ass trade had gone through.

Your defense would be even better?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Your defense would be even better?

How would one of the top-5 best defenses in the league get better by subtracting one of our best defenders and adding a significantly worse one?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Because Ekblad is better at defense than Bouchard? Not a hard concept.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Because Ekblad is better at defense than Bouchard? Not a hard concept.

is there any kind of metric that supports this?

Ekblad certainly outstrips Bouchard in concussions per 60, but all things considered, Bouchard is absolutely the better and more valuable player right now.

There has to be some way to figure it out?

Not sure why concussions are being made fun of but to my knowledge, Ekblad hasn't had one for many years.

While I prepare for a weekend of relaxation, I can't help but wonder where McDrai end up in a few years.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I wouldn't trade McLeod for Monahan even if he was still available. I don't even think Monahan is a forward I would target for what the Oilers needs are. I would trade Bouchard but not sure for Ekblad. In a deal for a lower scoring, high minute, effective, right handed d-man and possibly some other pieces going each way I would. I guess Ekblad if healthy fits that role.

 

[ole ole]

No it isn't. He's playing a 3C role and would do the same in Edmonton. You don't give up 1st round picks for pending UFA 3Cs.

Ya don't?

They aren’t being made fun of, captain oversensitive. Ekblad’s lengthy injury history is of real concern to everyone else.

Maybe they’ll end up in Florida, when they’re senior citizens.

 

[Qwijibo]

Brutal offer. Unprotected 1st. Geeez.

No one deals those anymore. and Monahan certainty doesn't merit this.

The Oilers *Could* use a better 3C than McLeod who isn't playing very well right now. He has wheels but at some point you have to put the puck in the net.

McLeod + Pick or Prospect ( Savoie?) for Monahan.

You were saying?

 

[keglu]

You were saying?

Edmonton were 6th worst team league at that point. Lottery teams dont trade 1st rounders unprotected.

Worry about the topic of the thread more than calling me things you wouldn't say to my face.

They said no one trades unprotected 1sts AND Monahan doesn't deserve one. Wrong on both counts.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Is there any kind of metrics that supports Bouchard being a better defender than Ekblad or are you just stirring up the pot?

 

[keglu]

I would assume context was pretty clear considering trade deadline 1st from contenders almost never have protection
He also said

I guess a deadline trade for a team right on the cusp of winning a cup who feels he is the missing piece might do it? I dunno.

So it seems like you taking his statement out of the context for some gotcha moment.
