Byron+Pacioretty for Klefbom+1st, call now, and we will throw in Benn for free!
RoR is exactly what this team needs if it wants to keep the mediocrity they've established the last 25 years. A glorified 2nd liner who's good defensively and paid like a no1... he's a perfect habs no1 center in the Koivu, Gomez and Plekanec mold. We should stay far away from him as possible, unless somehow we get lucky enough to draft a McDavid, Matthews, Barzal or Eichel. You can afford a 7,5mil 2nd line center when your young no1 is making peanuts... why do you think Buffalo want to trade him ? Eichel will be making real money next season... and guess what happens when a team needs to get rid of their overpaid, overrated no2 center, they make a call to Mtl... they know we're dumb enough to take him AND pay a real premium for him.
Patches for ROR straight up
Chucky + 2nd for Hanafin
Throw $12MM at Tavares
Draft still a mystery but Dahlen cancels Chucky trade. Though it’s a long shot.
If we luck out and get Svetchnikov or zadina, I’d insert them into the top 6 or 9. Any other draftee, I’d let develop until ready.
Drouin Tavares Gally
Lehkonen ROR Scherbak
Byron Danault Shaw
DLo DLR Hudon
L. Shaw Carr
Hanafin Weber
Schlemko Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Reilly
Mete in AHL to develop under new coach.
Bingo bango bongo!! RoR is perfect for Bergevin because it'll help us sneak into the 7-8 seed and then in the playoffs it's all luck anyways.
And then we “can do some damage” and “anything can happen.”
No to O’Reilly unless he comes at a bargain price.
I’d rather trade Pacioretty to Florida for Bjugstad and a 1st. Bjustad could easily fill a second line center role and bring us decent production at a reasonable cost. Meanwhile we could look at adding a center via UFA, with the most popular option being Stastny.
In summary:
To Florida Panthers: Max Pacioretty
To Montreal Canadiens: Nick Bjustad, 1st round pick 2018, 2nd round pick 2019
Acquire via UFA, Paul Stastny.
Draft: 2 first round picks, 4 second round picks, hopefully we win the draft lottery, and are able to take Dahlin with the first overall pick, and one of Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Joe Veleno or the guy I like Barrett Hayton with the first rounder they acquired from Florida.
2018-19 lineup looks like:
Drouin - Stastny - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Bjustad - Galchenyuk
Byron - Danault - Shaw (Andrew)
Deslauriers - De La Rose - Shaw (Logan)
Dahlin (hopefully)- Weber
Mete - Petry
Reilly - Juulsen
Alzner
Price
Lindgren
Florida ? Think Borgstrom.
I mean A) we have less than 10% chance of winning the lottery so don't count on Dahlin and B) didn't FLA already say no to that trade?And then we “can do some damage” and “anything can happen.”

Bjugstad was 5th in faceoffs taken and the 4th best faceoffs man with Florida.Really like the idea to trade Patch for Bjugstad and the 1st...Bjugstad is the kind of 2nd center we need...Big, skill and good on Faceoffs!

Bjugstad is now a winger.
Take time to think about the stats i gave you and you can also look at his points total, ice time and who he plays with. Let me know if its someone you would want as your #2C?!He played as winger because Florida have Barkov and Trocheck...

Ok then!the answer is yes...I'd like him as our 2nd line center!
Ok then!
I personally hope it doesn't happens.
I would rather take Borgstrom or even Heponiemi instead of Bjugstad.Dont forget we add Florida 1st round pick in the deal!!
That is a lot to give for the 15th overall and Borgstrom. Florida better throw McCoshen and Malgin.I'd try and push Pac + Petry to the panthers, see if we could get Borgstrom and a 1st. Panthers fans won't like it but it's at least what I would want to see us try. Besides I don't think MB has figured out that he needs to rebuild yet so we'll likely get some crap moves to try and make the playoffs next year. Cause we are ****ed until we get a new GM/owner.

Then go for Heponiemi, 1st and Mascherin.Panthers seem like the perfect trade partner for patches .
.They need scoring winger , we need C
We have Patches , they have a ton of C's .
Problem is we want more than bjugstad and they wont trade Bjorgstrom .
Patches for Bjorgstrom kind of fixes both teams but it depends who needs to add .
Fla has Trocheck and Barkov then they have other C prospects as well that i forget . Maybe an extended patches plays into a trade on Jul 1st
I guess the gold medals he got for 2008 U17, 2008 Ivan Hlinka, 2015 & 2016 WC and the silver for the 2017 WC were all awarded to the teams with the best losing culture.Honestly, I am not interested in Oreily. An ok player. Never been part of a winning culture.
