Proposal: Top pairing puck moving LHD to MTL

[JOKER 192]

What would you offer for Krug? He would be the perfect fit to play with Weber.

 

[Chadstudsky]

The Habs should offer sheet Chabot next summer if Melnyk is still the owner.

This.

 

[Edgy]

What would you offer for Krug? He would be the perfect fit to play with Weber.

Boston would want way too much to trade him within division and to the Habs no less. Also, with his Modified NTC, I'm pretty sure Montreal would be on the list of 8 teams he doesn't want to be traded for lol.

Then you have the fact that he's on the final year of his contract and due for a massive raise, 9-10mil I'm guessing, would require Montreal to overpay above that amount to retain him or lose the assets traded for him for 1 year of service.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

This screams Cam Fowler to me but I don't want to give him up. What is he even worth I wonder?

Once again Cam Fowler carries a 4 team trade list, And the odds of Montreal being one of those 4 teams. Is slim to none.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Cam fowler is ur guy

Cam Fowlers 4 team trade list, Say no i'm not your guy.

 

[MilesNewton]

Martinez would work. LA might me trying to move him.

 

[vokiel]

Add point into it and done deal

No way: Kotka isn't going anywhere at this time.

Habs should try Ben Hutton for 1 yr cheap, can't hurt.

Ben Hutton = Top pairing moving lhd? We're not looking for cheap.

 

[WeWentBlues]

Joel Edmundson appears to be available. Probably looking for futures.

Juulsen and a pick or picks.

Juulsen and a pick or picks.

There's probably a number of prospects Blues would be intrested in. The cupboard is looking pretty stocked in Montreal.

I wouldn't trade cost controlled assets like Harris/Fleury/Brook etc. We need those players too and they have high upside, Juulsen's ELC is done this year which is why i offered him.

We have a lot of possibly big contracts coming up (Domi, Mete, Tatar, Gallagher, Danault, Armia, Lehkonen, KK in next 2 years), can't handcuff ourselves financially. We need those ELC contracts as well.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Not that he’d ever be available, but Sam Girard would be such a perfect stud beside Shea Weber.

 

[SotasicA]

Erik Gustafsson from Chicago. He scored 60pts last season.

You can have him for Suzuki.

you should hold onto him

 

[danyhabsfan]

Shaw trade wasn't stupid. We sold high and we're going to have a solid future for it.

We sold high but we got less than we gave up when we acquired him

 

[RyderRocks73]

We sold high but we got less than we gave up when we acquired him

This happens in most cases. Especially when a guy is past his mid twenties, unless he grows into a superstar. Shaw is not that. We made out just fine.

 

[Viqsi]

Ryan Murray + Sonny Milano for Tomas Tatar + Alex Romanov

Probably workable. Plenty of worries on both sides, I think.

* * *​

Super easy pass, Romanov isn't going anywhere.

Interested in Murray tho.

It's modifiable if Romanov is that big of an objection. We don't have much room for additional LDs in any case.

 

[FerrisRox]

We sold high but we got less than we gave up when we acquired him

Gee, really?

You mean a 25 year old forward is more expensive to acquire than a 28 year old forward coming off multiple concussions with a higher salary?

What a shocker. Who could possibly have predicted that?

We gave up 2 x 2nd for him in 2016 after a 34 pts in 78 games season. He wasn't under contract. (RFA)
We signed him to a hefty 6 years 3.9M/year contract which was a bad deal. (overpaid)


Now he has only 3 years remaining on his deal and 3.9M isn't that much anymore. (Tanev 3.5M...)

He's coming off his best season 47 pts in 63 games season (61 pts pace).


I would have expected to get the same return at least.

61 pts pace in a #1 RW production.

Frankly you're naive if you think you're going to get the same return for a player three years older with multiple concussions.

It's just silly to think his value wouldn't be affected by being three years older and having injury concerns.

 

[NORiculous]

Yes but he is older and is more fragile.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I don't see a top pairing LD coming to the Habs this summer. I just don't really see any available unless we're willing to overpay.

Right now we have:

Mete - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Kulak - Juulsen
(Reilly, Folin)

Any trade to upgrade the LD would likely involve Mete+, sorry to say. Another option that isn't exactly sexy is if we can sign Hutton for cheap where his options are closing, and start Juulsen in Laval

Hutton - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Kulak - Mete
(Reilly, Folin)

This gives us more depth at least.

Flames arent interested in Mete. Gally, Danault, and Juulsen would be my 3 of interest for Brodie
(Obviously not all)

Where did I say anything about The Flames/Brodie?

 

[CapSpace]

Sign Hutton 1 year.

Offer sheet the shit out of Chabot next summer. f*** Melnyk.
