Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread 45

[Simarino]

I would try to trade with Vegas one more time, McCrimmon is coming from
the George Mcphee school and must not be scared to trade top prospect for immediate help.

Petry for 1st and Krebs

 

[Im Marc Bergevin]

I think a few trades, a strategic UFA signing and a good pick could be sufficient to turn this team into a contender in a couple of years, the time it takes to iron out the growing pains of an admittedly young team. Nothing out of the realm of possibilities.

Example:

Drouin and a 2020 2nd rounder to PITT for Samuel Poulin and a 2021 1st round pick.

Domi to MINN for Dumba.

Brodie signed as an UFA.

Petry traded for a 1st round pick in 2021 and a prospect.

MON moves up to between 4th and 7th from their likely 8th round pick this year for Perfetti who they will play as a LW at the NHL level and have up their sleeve as a C in case of injuries.

Montreal re-signs Tatar - Danault - Gallagher and uses the many ELC contracts to offset the salary raises in the future contracts of those three players. In the latter years of their contracts (which should have no NMCs), depending on the contracts they agree to after next year, those three are extremely valuable 3rd line players or traded to other teams.

In a year or two, the young Habs lineup looks like:

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Perfetti - Suzuki - Armia
Poulin - Kotkaniemi - Caufield
Lehkonen - Poehling - Evans/Byron

Brodie - Dumba
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Fleury/Book

Price, Primeau

Soooo happy you arent the GM, just si you know 2021 draft is looking to be the worst since a long Time and you want us to trade half the team for 2021 firsts go back to NHL 20, HFboard ain't for you

 

[Milhouse40]

Are you assuming Tatar remains a 60-70 point guy even though that is a clear deviation from the norm?

Instead of selling high?

But if Tatar can at 29 set a new bar for himself. Why is it then that people on this board write off a 19 year old. Write off a 24 year old Domi as merely a 50 point winger etc?

Odd how guys on here favour the flavour of the week only. So fast to sour on people. I can’t imagine how bad Tatar will be hated for making 6m but regressing into a 30 + year old 45-55 point winger.

I say sell high while you can

You say sell high while you can….not that i disagree, but if you want to trade Tatar, might as well trade other players also.

Why not sell high on Gallagher who's turning 28 real soon?

Why Armia is not mentioned, best season in his career, he's about to turn 27 years old and like Gally and Tatar, he's going to be UFA after next year, might walk for nothing….Same for Danault who's turning 27 years old next week.

Why keep those guys in their prime years since you have no intention of competing for the next 3 years cause if you want to compete for the next 3 years-4 years….might as well keep your most productive forward instead.

Stop doing things half-way

 

[Montreal Impact FC]

dominos are falling but expect the expected.. nothing major from MB. maybe Thompson for a 4th.. or Weal for a 11th round pick.

 

[Simarino]

Too bad we’re not in a position to sell since we’re in the middle of a playoff race(only 10pts back)... The sellers market seems to be great this year with the return NJ got!!

For one, Tatar is a LW in a lineup that has Drouin and Domi as well.

But to your question on trading the others, if the return is right do it by all means.

 

[blarneylad]

With the haul Jersey got for Coleman it is time to move Tatar!

 

[Luigi Habs]

Wow with the returns Coleman and Greene got MB would be an idiot not to trade Tatar. Possibly Petry as well if it’s a massive overpayment.

I totally expect him to be content with a 4th for Thompson though.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

If we don't deal one of Tatar, Domi, or Drouin at the deadline with the market as it is, I honestly think I'm done with this team until MB is gone. There could not be a more obvious route to take at the moment.

That would be an insane haul if possible. Krebs fell out of top 10 because of his injury but has lit it up this year. Was torn between him and Caufield with our pick but having both would be amazing. He’s a heart and soul player who gives it every shift like Gallagher but with a lot more skill and more size.

dealing Domi would be a huge mistake.

 

[Milhouse40]

Domi doesn't really want to play wing and Drouin….there's my problem actually….regardless of age, contract….simply based on what they give on the ice, i think i would keep Tatar ahead of both Domi and Drouin.

And i think we could get a better return from Domi and Drouin (not both, but one of them).

Tatar has been our best winger for the last 2 years and at some point, many will have to realize that our prospect won't get better by playing with other kids or lesser players while losing for the next 3 years.

Some say we won't be contending for the next 3 years (which i agree) but we won't flip a switch and go from bottom of the league to contender in one summer also. There's steps that needs to be done, our prospect need to get into the dance contest before winning it.

 

[HabsForHire]

NJ selling, yet MB is gunning for the playoffs. Lets do it we still have a chance

 

[MasterMatt25]

Petry for 1st + Necas please

 

[Goldenhands]

As expected, the market is excellent for sellers this year, unfortunately, Bergevin will stick to the plan he sold to Molson and likely wont sell much...

Tatar Danault Gallagher and Petry are all UFAs at the end of 2021, are we going to risk to lose all them for nothing taking in consideration that they all are back next season and that we are in the playoffs race at the same date next year??? That would be quite dumb assets management TBH! We have to trade at least one of them NOW!

 

[That Habs Fan]

With this market, Petry and Tatar could easily land us two firsts and two a/high b prospects...

 

[HuGo Sham]

blake f***ing coleman? he has byron stats.
we all need to pile on bargain bin and steal his phone.
tatar, petry, kovalcuk...EVERONE MUST GO
for 1sts in 2020 and 2021

 

[HuGo Sham]

I totally expect him to be content with a 4th for Thompson though.

pressure is now going to ratchet up on Toronto, boston, edm, florida, tampa, washington, vegas, st louis etc

bargain bin needs to create a biding war this week

 

[mariolemieux66]

Kovalchuk is most likely worth a 2nd at this point.
Tatar should return a 1st, Timmins and Kaut type deal.
Petry should get us a 1st, Bean and Suzuki type deal.

 

[Le Tricolore]

It's infuriating how this idiot in charge thinks we'll compete next year and won't trade Tatar at the very least.

 

[HabsForHire]

Just remember, every time MB has said players aren't available they end up traded shortly after. "Expect the unexpected" MB-

It's not like every team are ready to give up a 1st round pick….

 

[Simarino]

Petry for 1st + Necas please

Necas is the 2nd line center already for Carolina, they wouldnt trade him vs Petry i’m sure.

 

[lilmaxo]

Petry for krebs + vegas 1st?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Petry for 1st + Necas please

Petry for krebs + vegas 1st?

Normally I would say no chance, but there might be a little chance.
