Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread III - big fish in the pond

[Riggins]

Not sure why getting Scrivens would be a problem, especially if Edmonton retains some of his salary. It's just a means of getting rid of Kassian. They certainly wouldn't bring Scrivens in as a goalie fix. They might just bury him on the farm.

But hey, if you want to complain about absolutely everything no one can stop you.

I'd have an issue with that because Kassian can actually be a good player. Scrivens is junk.

 

[blarneylad]

Beaulieu + Kassian for Hendricks + Scrivens.

Book it.

Ur pretty worried they will trade Beaulieu for nothing!

 

[Sterling Archer]

Funny how we had Dubinsky a couple of years ago. Would have been the perfect backup goalie now. Like a Talbot or Jones backup/future starter goalie

 

[WeThreeKings]

Ur pretty worried they will trade Beaulieu for nothing!

All skilled players on this team are always up for grabs.

 

[Riggins]

I'd have an issue with that because Kas sian can actually be a good player. Scrivens is junk.

No one claimed him on waivers for free. His value is negative. He could have been a decent player but his head isn't screwed on right.

 

[frapp10]

I would much rather have khudobin then scrivens. Hell even budaj

I taught we were getting Simmonds? Wtf is all these ***** trades?

 

[Bieber fever]

Gadzic has character

 

[vokiel]

I taught we were getting Simmonds? Wtf is all these ***** trades?

And I thought we were getting Lecavallier. It's never too late right?

We may be getting Hossa too, I heard someone found his gloves in a dumpster.

If they're trading for a goalie, I seriously doubt their plan isn't to have him play with the Habs... especially after Therrien whining about goaltending.

They're going to make a useless trade for Scrivens and say "After da injry to Carey, we feel dat we missing da vetran leadership in da room and in da crease. Scriven is a good character guy. Good in da room, and work hard on da ice. We need dis vetran presence in da nets for our young goaltenders. We tink he will solidfy our goaltending, give us da consistecy, and teach da young goalie to play like da pros. We make da trade to improve da team."

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I feel they may move Jenner for help... Would love him, but it's very obvious Jenner is another good, young player that MB will miss the boat on.

He'll probably end up in Ottawa or Boston.

Why the hell would they move Jenner? I would love Jenner. I wanted him in 2011, but we didn't have a 2nd round pick.

At the time, I recall a lot of rumours that the Habs were interested in him and were either going to take him at #17, or trade down and take him later in the 1st round. Then Beaulieu fell.

That was a huge shock, because he was expected to go top 10. Beau was a good pick.

But can Scrivens score goals?

and like I said earlier, once it fails..

"Eh, bien, Scrivens was in the AHL 2 weeks ago. He was not going to save da season."

 

[NobleSix]

But can Scrivens score goals?

The better question is: can he prevent goals?

Answer: No, not really. So whats even the point in trading for him? He is trash.

The problem with this team is its lack of offense, as you've alluded to. We need to trade for players who can help in that area. Not trade for ECHL goalies.

 

[Habfan10]

What's the consensus on going after RNH? I feel like he's the odd man out in Edmonton, especially considering their needs, the arrival of Draisaitl, and the team doing really well, even without McDavid.

He could be but they won't let him go while McDavid is on the shelf.

 

[Kriss E]

I taught we were getting Simmonds? Wtf is all these ***** trades?

Simmonds is Philly's 2nd best goal scorer and they're only 2 wins out of a PO spot.
Toronto and Columbus are the only two teams who would probably be willing to move important pieces of their top 6. Maybe Carolina and Buffalo too.
Otherwise every other team are close to a PO spot. Even Anaheim who's last in the West are just 6pts away.

Again, admitting they are losing because of a lack of offense could point to Therrien's bench management, line management, roster management, system, teachings, practices etc.

No way he points the finger anywhere near himself. So, blame the one position he has nothing to do with other than deciding who starts.

 

[OnTheRun]

I taught we were getting Simmonds? Wtf is all these ***** trades?

MTL and Philly are soon to be rival for a wild card spot. Not sure why they would be willing to help us out.

 

[Habfan10]

Say what you want about MB, he has showed a pretty good track record of shedding salary...so maybe it's Emelin in this deal?

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Kassian and Emelin to the Oilers.

Scrivens and Purcell to the Habs.

Kassian goes on to be a dominant player.

Purcell plays out the year and impresses nobody.

Therrien keeps his job for some reason.

 

[The Great Weal]

I think it will be a bigger trade than expected.

 

[OnTheRun]

As absurd as it sounds, Emelin have the power to kill any trade he doesn't like. So he's probably not going anywhere unless he want to jump ship.

 

[blarneylad]

I think it will be a bigger trade than expected.

But will it actually happen tomorrow as everybody here is suggesting?

 

[Krnage]

we are getting Scott Gomez back
