Value of: "Puck moving D man" to the Habs

[Northern Avs Fan]

I imagine Dunn would have been a good fit.


I doubt the Blues are still looking to move him though, after the Gunnarsson injury.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Pens would laugh. Rikola would be a good fit but would cost MORE than that...

Rikkola wouldn’t make an ounce of difference. He would be fighting with Kulak and Mete foe ice time.

Dunn was my choice in the offseason!

I got two words for you. Mike. Reilly

4 words - been there it failed.

 

[Pierre Lebrun]

Colin Miller would give you PM, blue line bombs, and fairly competent PP support.

Really really good PMD are hard to come by.

CM is exactly the type of guy I believe they need. Not necessarily the best of best in his category, but serviceable and relatively reliable. However, since he's probably their second or third best d man, GM Jack Eichel would likely have a conniption if he was moved.

 

[Pierre Lebrun]

Will Butcher is actually excellent at running a power play - very good offensive instincts. He ran ours in his rookie year, but has since gotten a bit lost in the fray with the emergence of Severson and the acquisition of Subban.

Now that Ty Smith has made a name for himself, Butcher is fighting for playing time. He does have 3 points in 3 games, though.

Thoughts?

I think this is probably the best fit. I was thinking about Butcher when typing the OP but wanted to see what folks thought.

What would a trade look like that meets NJD's needs for the Habs to get Butcher?

 

[Lockin17]

Vince Dunn ?

 

[Tripod]

If only you took a chance on that cap dump Ghost. Now he is healthy and playing 20:30 minutes a night alongside Provy again.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I hear DeAngelo's available

My thought exactly, a well disguised DeAngelo thread to get past oversight

I was onboard with Ghost . Despite his obvious flaws, his one dimensional skills is what we need.

Eichel and Miller in a package then.

He is a clear upgrade on the PP.. there is no doubt about that. Even if it was as a specialty. He looked better than letang or Shultz most of the time. He would be a smart asset for the habs if they paid the right price

 

[Colt55]

With the recent slump, and somewhat of a dry spell in the scoring dept for the Habs, some fans have been scapegoating the likes of Edmundson, Chiarot, etc. as acquisitions that didn't fit the ultimate needs of the Habs as a new age, modern, mobile d man.

The Habs appear set up front, but could use a #3 D man (my opinion) that is a younger Petry in terms of mobility and productivity.

So, what options are out there and what are some viable trade scenarios?

Not just Gunnerson, but CP, Scandella has been in and out due to injury. Dunn earlier this season for sure was available, now not so much.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I hear that PK Subban could be available.

He hasn’t produced any respectable offense in the NHL. Habs would have no interest in a guy who has proven to be unproductive!

I would only have interest if Byron and one KulakMete were the return. No interest in trading Lehkonen or Armia.

 

[CapnZin]

PHI: Erik Gustafsson
MTL: A pick? Idk, like a 3rd and a 5th?

currently pacing for 52 points over an 82 game season.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Dermott for Guhle

LOL f*** off

 

[The Old Master]

m. matheson?

 

[Sota Popinski]

How about Yandle?

 

[57special]

But if you get a good dman, you'll have to protect him at the ED, or is Romanov exempt? Also, it looks like you need a LHD with Petry and Weber at RHD, so I won't mention Dumba, who the Wild are trying to peddle because they can't protect him at the Seattle ED without hurting themselves up front.

Tampa’s 2nd? We can retain some salary.

 

[bernmeister]

Danault wants real $$ + term which you are not giving to him.
His value is as a rental.

Deangelo is a cheap buy out IF you have to go there.
Whether he wants to or not, he should be on his best behavior b'c this is his last go around, whether it is now or after bought out.

Danault for Deangelo
Habs get useful RD w/min risk worse comes to worse
Rangers get temporary useful pivot who will again want too much and we deal. [Unless maybe Zib decides to take 7.25 x 8 and he is flipped. The we can maybe accommodate Danault short term if he wants 1-2 yrs. maybe.]

Likely scenario, Habs get needed player, Rangers get futures. everybody wins.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Yandle makes a ton of sense, Dunn from St.Louis as well.
