Proposal: Trade proposal part IV

[Mrb1p]

Unless it’s to bump KK to the first/second line

And Danault vanishes ?

 

[1909]

I like Coyle! I wanted him for a while...

Depends on what the price is though...

I think he's better than Danault. And I love Danault.

Minny wants a productive RW who can also play at C sometimes. Habs don't have that to trade with Minny.

 

[Braun]

PRobably a trade piece

Shaw

Shaw for Coyle and we take Foligno's bad contract.

 

[Mrb1p]

I hate this recycling thing... This team does not need Charlie Coyle, not at all.

 

[Mrb1p]

Minny wants a productive RW who can also play at C sometimes. Habs don't have that to trade with Minny.

And yet they trade Coyle ?

 

[1909]

Shaw

Shaw is playing his best hockey since with acquired by the Habs. He is a very good fit with the 2 D's. And Shaw's and Coyle's contracts are very close in value.

You just described Coyle! Why would they trade him then?

 

[CapSpace]

Why the hell trade for Coyle. He underperforms since he was draft.

 

[1909]

You just described Coyle! Why would they trade him then?

Yeah why ? Because he has a handful of goals this season, I guess.

I like Shaw this year but he's still a gamble based on his contract. (length)

 

[Habs Halifax]

That makes no sense considering Jesperi is actually outproducing Coyle. No idea where he fits. The only spot I see is at RW but I’m not sure who he bumps.

He bumps 2 of Lehkonen, Byron, Shaw, or Armia down to 4th line. So the idea of acquiring Coyle should be to improve the top 9 and not sure he does. I like his game and he can play center. If they can take Shaw, Mete, and a pick, I'd consider it. He's UFA in 2 years and the Habs have a lot of RFA/UFA guys that will require raises in the next 3 years. Add Tatar and Gallagher as UFA's as well.

So we need to unload salary if we take on Coyle IMO. Shaw or Alzner and other pieces including Mete. Dangle Mete and see what happens. We should not be desperate to acquire Coyle.

 

[Belial]

Coyle was never a big scorer, he hit 20+ goals once in his career... But he's able to produce points...

 

[Habs Halifax]

Shaw and Mete for Coyle. Best I could do. I'd consider adding a 3rd or later pick if it comes down to it. However, if the Kings are willing to trade Muzzin for Mete+, then I rather make that move.

Drouin / Domi / Coyle
Lehkonen / Kotkaniemi / Armia
Tatar / Danault / Gallagher
Agostino / Chaput / Byron
Deslauriers, Hudon

Byron and Armia would have to battle for that 2nd line spot.

I think it would mean a promotion for KK

 

[Habs Icing]

And yet they trade Coyle ?

Well, it's be known to happen. Look at Arizona. They were looking for a #1 or #2 center man and they traded Domi for a make believe one.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I hate this recycling thing... This team does not need Charlie Coyle, not at all.

I tend to agree. But if we can unload Shaw who seems to play well and then have games where he doesn't, I consider Shaw for Coyle. I know you like Mete but I'm willing to add him to make the deal work. Coyle is a big dude that draws a lot of attention and he provides us with a RW/C type asset. Same as Shaw but he's more consistent and he actually can win a puck battle in our top 9 group of forwards.

If a team is high on Mete, I consider moving him to address an area of need. Power forward up front and a guy like Juulsen at LD. Muzzin is my 1st choice over Coyle though

Lets say we get a injury at center... do you feel more confident in Shaw taking that role or Coyle? Coyle would be an upgrade over Shaw and I don't consider Mete a huge loss. Could be wrong but I'm not seeing it. I doubt Mete is able to overcome his defensive liability with producing offense.

 

[Agalloch]

Why trade Mete, we have so few LD's. I wouldn't do that trade for that reason alone.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Cause he is a liability in his own end and not sure if he will be able to produce offensively like he should. Smallest D man in the league? Who is smaller?

But yes, Id be more interested in Mete+ for Muzzin vs Coyle

LD is the worst of the Wild worries... With Suter, Brodin

 

[calder candidate]

I would not trade mete for coyle... LD is a weakness. I move a guy like Shaw (playing well but contract and injury history), maybe Lehkonen and take back a back contract. I like Coyle but I don’t really see a fit between the two team.

 

[Habs Halifax]

LD is the worst of the Wild worries... With Suter, Brodin

Then not sure what piece I would add on top of Shaw if they would not be interested in Mete. I do agree that Coyle would be nice but we should not be desperate to acquire him.

Shaw, Hudon, and a 2nd... if they don't want Mete. I have no idea what other teams would offer for Coyle who is UFA in 2 years.

 

[Simarino]

I wouldnt waste any assets on another thing then a left D right now.

Id rather keep the second and try and acquire the LD version of Brook.

This team is not in a position to give up yet another 2nd rounder for a mediocre player. Point in case, we've done it for Shaw and we lost a player that would fix all our LD problems for 15 years.

Agreed. Petry would be the guy I would be dangling to see if we can get that LD asset and a 1st.
