Would you do it if you were Carolina?
If not, it's probably not a reasonable offer.
Canes are looking for a goalie.....you wanna blow there doors off?

Agreed..........but really there are a ton of reasons, he no longer works in the league...That’s why he isn’t a coach or a gm or a scout

Problem is I don't know enough about who they value or not.
I know what I'd put in play from the Habs' perspective: Gallagher, 3OA, Poehling, 38th and one of our prospect goalies. A combo from any of these.
I'd be looking for their 2OA and Hanifin.
How do you see it?
I really believe Shaw is a poison pill and should not be offered other than in a deal with some other team if considering taking on an even more toxic asset.
So you believe the 38th would be enough to tilt the balance, instead of Poehling?
You'd propose: Gallagher, 3OA plus 38th for Hanifin and 2OA?
I think they'd value Poehling much more instead of the 38th, FWIW.
I don't know Hanafin or Svech or the potential 3OA prospects well enough, or even Poehling.
But which group of players do you value more: the ones coming to Montreal or going to Carolina?
Kovalchuk will talk with Bruins, GM says
Kovalchuk will talk with Bruins, GM says
BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins plan to speak to the agents for Ilya Kovalchuk, general manager Don Sweeney said Wednesday.
"We're going to just talk to his camp," said Sweeney, who said Kovalchuk was likely to be at the meeting but didn't say when it would take place. "He's got things that he's looking for and we'll see where it goes."
Um. Why are you yelling ? Especially about this.
It all depends on how they value Poehling -- since they are a budget team and they're looking for a center -- this could be right up their alley.
I think the Habs are going to have a difficult time landing a first pairing PMD. And Svech looks like a franchise player. There is a significant price to pay for that, however, since the Habs own the 3OA and since Zadina is still of interest to the Canes, this is a deal that needs to be attempted. No one else will be in the same unique position to provide them with a pick that will still get them something they value right after Svech. Hence, putting the 3OA in play with the other 4 assets, give or take, could lead to something.
no yelling i copy and pasted it from NHL website...that was the size of the letters for some reason i dunno..
From what I've heard they value Svech very highly.
I would think: which group of players do I value most, and take that as what they value.
Also, what need are they filling by this trade? We have an even bigger need than they do at center, yet they're going to give up the better assets and we're going to give up the center?
Bergevin trades up and takes Tkachuk.There isn't a single GM in the league that passes on Svechnikov at 2
Just like no one was willing to pass on Yakupov for Galchenyuk or Forsberg... let's never forget that this isn't a perfect science and chances are high that Zadina and other players will be better than Svechnikov.There isn't a single GM in the league that passes on Svechnikov at 2
Uh idk about that. There were some things that Galchenyuk did better than Yakupov, and Yakupov wasn't injured in his draft year. There isn't a single thing that Zadina does better than Svechnikov, so I don't see how you can even say that chances are high that her and other players will be better than Svechnikov.Just like no one was willing to pass on Yakupov for Galchenyuk or Forsberg... let's never forget that this isn't a perfect science and chances are high that Zadina and other players will be better than Svechnikov.

Tough to say...I'd think Poehling would have to be included, and most likely some additional draft picks.I know, shows you how thin this team is in so many areas.
Assuming we'd be proposing Gallagher and the 3OA and not Galchenyuk for Hanifin and 2OA. Who would you say would be assets that can be added to replace Galchenyuk and that might interest the Canes? And Gallagher absolutely needs to be there as a key piece in the deal.
So:
Habs trade: 3OA, Gallagher and ????
Canes trade: 2OA, Hanifin
By the way, does anyone know when the trade freeze officially ended/ends? I mean the trade deadline was in February. But when can trading begin again?
