Value of: Teuvo Teravainen to the Habs

[Pierre Lebrun]

What would it take? The Habs have been linked to him in past rumors, there's a Bergevin/Chicago connection during his draft. Not necessarily a position of need for the Habs but scouting report is that he can play any forward position. Bergevin loves the stretch center and will have to replace some scoring when he loses Max. Thoughts?

SCOUTING REPORT

Assets:	Has outstanding offensive instincts and the versatility to play any forward position. Skates well and also has great hands and playmaking acumen. Is also a two-way performer and special teams stud.
Flaws:	Needs to add signifcantly more bulk and become much stronger in order to thrive as a top-six forward at the National Hockey League level. Also needs to settle into one position (and team role).
Career Potential:	Talented, versatile playmaking forward with upside.

Why would carolina trade him?

I second this. Why? Teuvo and Aho have great chemistry and the Canes might have two nice top 6 duos for the future in Nevas-Svech and Aho-Teravainen.

 

[CandyCanes]

Right now he’s a part of our core going forward I think. He had great chemistry with Aho and I don’t see them changing breaking that up this season.

 

[Halla]

23 year old coming off 64 pts? more than it cost to get drouin.

their 2019 1st to start (unprotected, or maybe just top 3 protected) + Poehling + more

 

[sansabri]

Another winger. Exactly what we need!

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Habs dont have what it would take to get TT except Kotka/2019 1st.

 

[Viqsi]

It's probably not as high as the value of Teuvo Teravainen to the Canes.

 

[PensandCaps]

He's a top line winger or at the very least very close to it, plus he and Aho are good together....I'd imagine Carolina keeps him..As nothing MTL has would interest Carolina.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Dude had 64 points last season, I’d say your scouting report is a touch out of date. He’s a no doubter first liner, never mind top six forward. The kid’s shot is lethal - roasted the Oilers more than once last year - he needs to use it more.

 

[RibFrabcus]

Absolutely no interest from Canes perspectivd.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Don't want to pay what it would take. His numbers are heavily inflated by Aho anyway.

Yes. Good call. We’ll keep the bum if we have to I guess.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Yes. Good call. We’ll keep the bum if we have to I guess.

I don't mean he's a bad player by any means, and it's not easy to find chemistry with a guy like Aho, but whenever I've watched the two play together it's pretty obvious who's carrying who.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Carolina needs offense up front as much as anyone in the league. Why trade him?

 

[emptyNedder]

I don't mean he's a bad player by any means, and it's not easy to find chemistry with a guy like Aho, but whenever I've watched the two play together it's pretty obvious who's carrying who.

Aho is the more talented player. But by at least one measure
CAR 1718 Teravainen With-or-Without You
Teravainen made every teammate (including Aho) better. That is a very valuable skill.

 

[GoldiFox]

It would take a Drouin swap.

Come again?

 

[Hostile Offer]

Come again?

What I mean is that his mind is so far ahead of most players it's hard to keep on track what he's planning to do out there.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

It would take a Drouin swap.

I'd rather just keep TT.

 

[Unsustainable]

What I mean is that his mind is so far ahead of most players it's hard to keep on track what he's planning to do out there.

I agree, Aho does make everyone around him better. Turbo complements him very well though.

 

[trick9]

Drouin +.

23 year old coming off 64 pts?

I'm not going to lie, I had to do a double take when I read this. I had no idea TT put up 64 pts this last season. I knew he had a good season but I thought it was around the 45-50 pt range.

64 pts in a Bill Peters offense is very impressive, good for him.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

yeah... Carolina isnt getting a top 3 protected pick from Montreal for Teuvo, let alone a top 5 protected or even thinking of adding to that.

Just because Montreal crazily overpaid for Drouin doesnt set the market to complete idiot status. A guy who has one season over 50 in four isnt getting you a potential top 5-7 pick and more
