The Out of Town Thread LXXXVI

[EveryDay]

Doesn't he want to play in Philly? I'm sure he will be waiting for FA

Wrong thread?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

You know Eller's gone since he's a Kekalainen drafted player, the 1st pick likely and probably one of Beaulieu/Tinordi. Is that a cost we're willing to pay?

Absolutely. But I don't think it get's it done without one of Galchenyuk or Gallagher

Wrong thread?

I think you're in the wrong thread

 

[The Nightman]

Any takers?

Patches + DD for RyJo + Foligno

CBJ wouldn't take that deal

 

[EveryDay]

CBJ wouldn't take that deal

Can you explain me why?

Damn it Overlord!!!

 

[Rapala]

CBJ wouldn't take that deal

Probably not but has anyone stopped a minute to think about the various proposals involving the Habs and what it really means?

It wasn't even two years ago that we could dream of putting together a package for the likes of a RyJo
and not get laughed out of and off of any board out there.

My how times have changed

 

[Fazkovsky]

Don't trade patches. Trade either galchenyuk+ DD or Gallagher + DD and screw foligno

 

[Scintillating10]

So will Johansen. They aren't gonna listen if we don't start by Galchenyuk.

I would do Gallagher, DD and a first but looks like Galchenyuk, DD and a 3rd might work more. And I did write a post in this thread a while back suggesting we should trade for RyanJo

No, I wouldn't make the trade. Too much to give up then a tough sign. I would offer up Plekanec and Eller? But that is most I would go

 

[Adriatic]

I would try not to include Patches in any of theses deals. He's not my favorite player and he has his flaws, but that contract is one of the best in hockey. To have a 35-40 goal scorer that is big and fast at that price is a dream. I would try to hold on to that forever.

Johansen for Chuckie and a 1st and RyJo signs a long term deal before the trade?

I had that exact same thought.
Not to mention RyJo is a puck possesion playmaker and would need a finisher.

Looking at it from cbj's perspective, Johansen is 3 years younger than Pacioretty, they'll have similar production and Johansen is a center which are typically valued higher than wingers. Combining that with having to replace replace their 6'3 #1 center with one that is 5'7, also doesn't look attractive from a Columbus standpoint. Pacioretty does have a fantastic contract though, which would no doubt add to his value.

Value wise imo
Ryjo>Pac
Foligno>dd

Exactly and knowing Davidson size up the middle is imperative.
It would be Chucky plus or Eller plus plus.

#CBJ Ryan Johansen has packed his bags and is flying to Vancouver.

I know it's normal procedure but idk why this tweet made me bust out laughing

Similar to the Doughty situation a while back albeit far dirtier...

Patches have one of the best contract in the NHL and he's 7th in goal scoring in the last 3 seasons, how the hell RyJo have more value? The guy is seeking a 7M contract right now after 1 good season..... So you would take Johansen at 7M per over Patches at 4.5M? Agree on Foligno even through he's UFA next summer.

Foligno>DD
Patches>Johansen

 

[MrNasty]

This whole situation is proof why Overhardt has so few players to represent.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Galchenyuk vs Johansen? Are you guys kidding me?

You must like Ryjo over Patches too considering you're the one that proposed the deal. I just said why Columbus wouldn't take it. Elite centers are more valuable than elite wingers, especially when the center will have similar production and is 3 years younger. I can also tell you that just because Johansen wants 7m/year doesn't mean he's getting it.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I don't know about CBJ not biting on that deal...Pacioretty is signed to a better contract and more proven. Foligno and DD is a wash although I'd rather have Foligno.

MIN G Josh Harding's off-ice injury is significant, likely to be out months as opposed to weeks. On crutches/in a boot. Tough break.

They need to sign Kuemper now....

Oh you're right I love Johansen but I tough my offer was very generous by including Patches....
