Speculation: Reclamation projects for MTL after deadline

[Squirrel in the Hole]

Aki Berg

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I’m working off the premise that our GM will do the right thing and move out anyone older than Gallagher or at least a half dozen players

Sounds like Bergevin.....

 

[Stickpucker]

Canes are happy with Gauthier and Fleury. Don't see an incentive to trade them

 

[Vachon23]

How'd you forget 4th overall Sam Bennett?

Jankowski's another.

I would take a shot on Bennett. Our team is so soft, a player with some edge could help.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

you wont get much for taking on a cap dump with only 1/4 of the season left
a lot more teams willing to do it than in the summer

Yes. But it if helps said team complete another trade they are working on then they will pay up

I would also take a shot on Sam Bennett. Unfortunately, his value is so low that the Flames wouldn't trade him.

 

[CupInSIX]

The immortal Charles Hudon.

 

[BLNY]

Can package the picks to move up and better their picks to get the players they want.

Aware of the possibility, but it's still unlikely a team goes into a draft with more than 11 picks. Montreal will gladly take quality prospects. The Pacioretty deal is the prime example. If they can take an expiring contract and net someone of value for doing it that they can either insert in to the lineup now, or put in Laval for a year, that would be preferred.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Sounds like Bergevin.....

Nope, he’s likely to make a run at the playoffs and bring back D-Lo and trade for some other washed up vets

 

[Whalers Fan]

I’m hoping Holland snags Domi for a 2nd. He’d give us the best 3rd line in the league and would really help our Cup run.

And I'm hoping Bergevin snags McDavid for Tatar and a first.

Neither are happening.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

I disagree

 

[Whalers Fan]

I disagree

In what world would Montreal agree to trade Domi for a 2nd round pick?

In Vancouver we're pretty happy with Leivo and Motte. Leivo was putting up borderline top 6/middle 6 numbers while playing a strong overall game before he went down to injury, and Motte is a solid energy 4th liner.

I would recommend taking a hard look at Goldobin. 24 years old, has 41 points in 40 games in the AHL this year. Put up 27 points in 63 games with the big club last season. He hasn't been able to stick full time here, but he definitely has skill for days and he's still relatively young. He'll be cheap too.

 

[Chiarelli]

Jost needs this with someone

Goldobin has had plenty of opportunities to prove that he’s an NHL’er. He’s not. I wouldn’t waste a contract spot on him. He’s like Hudon. Great minor. Not an nhl player

Jeremy Bracco ignoring rivalries fits the bill

Another small forward? Guess so.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Michael Amadio for Kovalchuk

 

[Qwijibo]

Michael Amadio for Kovalchuk

Huh? Kovalchuk and the kings aren’t a fit. They already spent a crap load to find that out.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Probably very low on their list of needs, but I’m sure they could grab Honka for a mid round pick.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Has any team moved non-fringe 4-5 NHL players at the trade deadline? It seemed pretty extreme when Senators traded three.

Not a deadline deal but



5 longshots went for a depth forward who turned it around.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Huh? Kovalchuk and the kings aren’t a fit. They already spent a crap load to find that out.

 

[CupInSIX]

Assuming they're in the playoff hunt, why would Vegas move Nosek? He's useful even as a 13th forward.

 

[Stephen]

Surprised Anthony Duclair never made his way to Montreal when he was a reclamation.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I wouldn't mind trading Domi for th right price.
A 2nd isn't oppening discussions tho lol
