Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread 50

[HBDay]

True it won't happen. That is for certain.

But, I would do it in the short term (half a season) to drive Domi's value back up by playing him at center.

Better to get a good young player we'll have for 10 years for Domi and have KK benefit from playing with Suzuki for half a year, imo.

You should attempt to salvage yourself here. I think what you are trying to say is at times, when the game is in question, in clutch moments we should stack a line with both kotka and suzuki................even then suzuki should be the one at center lol.

 

[Habs Halifax]

From what I understand in the Trouba situation, his wife wanted to be in a big city to practice medicine, and New York was significantly at the top of her list. But that could just be an excuse for them wanting to get out of Winnipeg/Canada.

Although I don't see 27 teams being available as an issue, just potentially having to move him could be an issue.

The upside is, if he has a big year and gets back to being in the relm of Panarin and Kane, we hit the jackpot.

Doesn't change the fact that Gaudreau could walk after 2 years if he is decides to do that, we only have 5 teams to negotiate with. And do you think Gaudreau maintains his trade value playing with the Habs? I doubt that.

I'm interested in taking the risks but only the Domi and 16th OA risk. Adding on top of too far and increased the back fire probability.

Also, Gaudreau is a 29 year old in his next contract eh. I think we need to be very careful with this and I have my concerns

 

[Dichow Stopper]

To be fair, Danault can get a 2nd line center spot somewhere and get the contract coming with it in free agency. I hope that we will not be making such an offer. With that being said, he is and should be paid as an elite 3rd line center and PKer.

5M$ per? That’s a yes for me. 6M$+ per? Sadly, it would have to be on another team and I hope he will be traded before losing him for nothing.

 

[habsfan891]

Oh man. Another delusional player we gotta trade now:

I really hope thats false what gross numbers

 

[Habs Icing]

Don't you think Mantha provides a dimension our forwards group lack?

That doesn't mean we need to overpay. I thought the premium was on centers and d-men. Not 6'4" wingers who are constantly injured.

I think you see what I'm saying. Long term is more important than short term games in November, or in this case (possibly) December...

 

[Price4Prez]

I like Danault as the Selke type, face off and D specialist. But he isnt P. Bergeron or R. OReilly here lol.

He was slotted exactly where he should be for us in the playoffs. He was 1st center by default , not by choice. THAT is what the problem is here.

Bergevin has a real good chance here to set this ship up for a great run now.

Suzuki and Kotka at center. Gallagher on the RW. Weber/Petry/Chariot on D and Price in nets.

Get some great wingers and a solid back up and we re solid.

Danaults stock will never be higher. Time to cash out Bergy.

 

[Archijerej]

That doesn't mean we need to overpay. I thought the premium was on centers and d-men. Not 6'4" wingers who are constantly injured.

I'd also prefer a defenceman and I would take a hard long look on Mantha's health status, but I don't think the value is off.

 

[Habs Icing]

He proved to be a realiable 50 point player with our best offensive player. He proved to be really good defensively and be able to contain other teams best player.

I just think he does not realize his real role should be exactly where he was in the playoffs.

I'm worried.

Why I say not to trade Domi.

 

[ForeverHabs97]

What a shame Danault doesn't want to stay 3rd C. He's an elite 3rd centerman, our team would be stacked at C with him.
But NOOOO it's too good to be true.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I think the value the Leafs got for Kapanen increaes the market significantly for Domi. This makes me happy

Yeah I thought it was 27 teams he can go to, not 5. Different situation...

Yeah, I'm still interested but not going to ignore the potential back fire.

 

[Habs Halifax]

12 months ago... Domi had a substantially better season vs Laine playing with less talent and Habs fans would have said no to the trade straight up (right or wrong). I think there was chatter on that on our boards if I remember correctly. Just an example of how things change from season to season and I expect more to come!

Anybody have a link to that thread or poll? Or remember that chatter?

What did they get?

I remember a few people claiming they wouldnt trade Domi for him straight up but most people knew they were being homers.

Thats fantastic value wow im hoping we trade Domi and Tatar now even more

 

[HBDay]

OH no, no no no.. No, I absolutely don't see what you're saying. Playing suzuki on wing is a horrible idea. You're trying to suggest that's better for long term gains. But it's not. Long term, having a young potential number one center play number one center is absolutely the best.

In no scenario ever at this moment would suggest playing suzuki on wing. I can see the benefit, as I said, of stacking a line with suzuki and kotka, but as I said, even then kotka should be on the wing.

 

[McGees]

I mean it’s normal for top line centres to not score for 30 games at a time right? RIGHT???

yeah we're on totally different pages.

And KK is not suited for the wing. That's a horrible idea.

I'll leave it at that.

I'm worried.

His numbers were inflated because he was playing top line because we had nobody else at the time. He’s a 2nd line centre on a bad team But realistically where he was in the playoffs is exactly where he should be.

 

[Vachon23]

That doesn’t change anything, he doesn’t choose where he play and it’s normal that a player prefer to play top line minutes with the best players then on a defensive 3rd line.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Imagine a top line of Hoffman - Suzuki - Laine.... a man can dream

 

[HBDay]

yeah we're on totally different pages.

OK
