Speculation: PLD Mega Thread 2.0

[DJA]

Villardi
Madden or Thomas
Clague
2021 1st or 2022 1st (LA choice)

CLB gets a potential 1st/2nd line roster center, a solid center prospect in Madden or Thomas, D prospect about to break into the Kings lineup and a 1st which will likely be top 15 in 2021/22.

not interesting

KK
Byron
Caufield


No thx on Romanov or Suzuki.

 

[hamzarocks]

bust? you're f***ing clueless. sit down

I was responding to a troll with a trollish comment. Would have expected more of an issue about Suzuki, hes more than a 40 point guy for sure.

Kotkocaufield is an insane homer who values those habs players (along with Caufield) like they're 97/29//87 etc.

They're all good young players with high potential but atleast one of them needs to be given up for PLD with addition(s) depending on who it is

The Habs are in win now mode, which means there's no point in trading anyone of value on the team, except for Danault since he likely wants out as well.

I think Danault still hopes that he can access that top 2 center status if KK's development stalls. If MB trades Kotkaniemi for PLD, Danault will officially be the #3 center on the team . Danault will go full sulk mode until he gets traded. We don't need that.

Dubois has plenty of skill. He "only" has a career high of 61 but he's still young and has been playing on an offensively starved/Torts coached team his whole career.

i'm aware. his skill however isn't so much better that it warrants trading a young guy trending up with no known locker room issues for a guy who wants out. i'd consider something around KK, but Suzuki makes no sense for us

Meh...screw him then. We trade him for a true 3C +

If you move kk you have to find a way to also dump 5m which means breaking down the team mid season

Young top 6 centers just off their ELC are rarely traded so it's really hard to place an exact value on PLD by comparison. Dubois is currently in his D+4 year. Here are some examples of other top 6 centers traded around that age:
Zibanejad (D+5) - traded for a more established (at the time) center, along with a 2nd.
D. Strome (D+3) - along with another former 1st rounder was traded for a D+4 1st rounder C/W in a "change of scenery" move
O'Reilly (D+6) - traded for 2 younger 1st round prospects and a 2nd round prospects, as well as a 2nd.
J. Staal (D+6) - traded for a good defense prospect, a D+5 promising young player, and a 1st.
Seguin (D+3) - along with a decent defense prospect and a cap dump, was traded for an established top end winger, a promising D+4 winger, and a solid defense prospect

These are the ones I can think of right now but anyone can think of some more examples that would be great

Johansen for Seth Jones.

That's about the only trade where something of real substantial value went back.

 

[DavidBL]

You’re joking right? If Jarmo doesn’t get what he wants from Bergevin he calls one of the other 20 interested teams.

Who gives a f*** what PLD wants?

All those other teams are only going to pay for 4 years of service and they have to worry about the player doing to them what he did to CBJ. Who is going to pay a significant price for that risk?

Have you seen what teams pay at the trade deadline for 20 games of a certain player?

Sure have, but they don't include top end prospects or current 1c replacements.

 

[Jee]

Romanov and Suzuki are 100% untouchable.

 

[The Great Weal]

Habs would give Suzuki or Romanov and if not, they would be hung up on.

Cool. Columbus isn't getting a better main piece than Kotkaniemi from anyone else.

 

[Fro]

Petry+Romanov+Suzuki+Gallagher for Jones+PLD

Bawhahahahaha no

 

[strongcomp05]

Romanov and Suzuki are 100% untouchable.

this.. no chance.

 

[strongcomp05]

we dont want pld lol.. so hang up all you want.

 

[Monk]

I can't wait for the 3.0 thread

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Jesus christ the Habs are actually pretty good down the middle we really don't need PLD.

 

[Fro]

we dont want pld lol.. so hang up all you want.

But it appears MB does as the teams are talking...so this doesn't hold weight

 

[DJA]

How did you get on the GM conference call? Could you give me the number?

 

[DJA]

then tell your fellow Habs fans to stop posting terrible proposals please

 

[jetsv2]

The Jets would probably offer Laine which is a better piece than Kotkaniemi.

 

[The Great Weal]

How did you get on the GM conference call? Could you give me the number?

No, but maybe I can recommend that you read how Columbus doesn't have the leverage whatsoever? How the guy wants out and is playing somewhere he doesn't want to? How you won't get the best possible return with that happening?

 

[The Great Weal]

The Jets would probably offer Laine which is a better piece than Kotkaniemi.

Columbus wants a center and PLD wants to play for a big market so no.
