Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Part 60

[Benstheman]

I would LOVE Chychrun. I mean what we need are top pair D's and 1C. He would certainly fill a big need right away. One that we probably don't own now has Guhle and Romanov won't have his impact offensively. And i would easily use one of them or Caufield as the main piece without hesitation. The interesting thing is i think he fits whatever we choose to do : retool or rebuild.

The only thing i wouldn't trade for him is our 1st this year or next's. I would add a late 1st we'd get by trading Chiarot at the deadline. Would add 2 B prospect of Arizona's choice or a B prospect and our 2nd in 2023.

So my proposal would be :

Guhle
late 1st 2022 (obtained in Chiarot deadline deal)
2 of Poehling/mysak/Ylonen/Norlinder/harris/Tuch/2023 2nd

If it works, great. If not, that's ok too.

We then pick BPA with our top 5 pick this year, which will probably be a center or RHD anyways.

according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Canadiens are in the mix to acquire Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun.
The 23 year old has been placed on the trade block recently and he would be a perfect fit for the Canadiens rebuild.
He's signed through the 2024-24 season at a very affordable AAV of $4.6million.
The lefty led the league in goals for a defenseman last year and would give the Canadiens a huge boost on the powerplay that they've needed for years.
Jeff Gorton would likely have to find a way to acquire a couple of extra first round picks, which he can do by moving some of the Canadiens older players like Ben Chiarot or Tyler Toffoli at the trade deadline.
The Canadiens also have lots of defensive prospects in the pipeline and they wouldn't have to give up Kaiden Guhle.

Romanov, Guhle, Harris and Chychrun? Surely not

I think you can only retain 50% of the total annual salary. In Price’s case, that number would be 5 250 000$ maximum, which means another team could not retain as well, regardless of the amount.

I think it happened with Karlsson

 

[Benstheman]

Romanov, Guhle, Harris and Chychrun? Surely not

Romanov can play the right side. That being said, i'm pretty sure one of Romanov or Guhle would be going to Arizona in the deal.

It happened with Foligno and Savard last season:

 

[Habs Halifax]

So a late 1st round pick and 2 B level prospects for a #1 23 year old Dmen ? Yea Arizona laughs at this offer

Think more

Caufield +++

I don't care about the "hang up the phone" or "laughs at the offer" narratives. It's as deep as I would go and I probably wouldn't even make that trade.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

This would be the only package I would consider. We basically convert Chiarot, Harris, Norlinder into a proven top 4D at age 23 and you hope he re-signs after his current deal.

* The 1st we get from Chiarot
* Rights to Harris
* Norlinder
for
* Chychrun

Doesn't this hurt our rebuild cause our D is better? . Not sure I would take the risk of him walking after his current deal. Imagine how deflating that would be. I pass

That's a terrible offer. There is no reason for Arizona to take this deal.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

If the Habs can make it work and Chychrun is as good as they say, Montreal should look at making a deal like this. He seems to be considered a prime piece. We're looking to draft players who may be as good as he appears to be years down the road. He's 23 and locked up long-term. It's a no brainer.

 

[sampollock]

Honestly, as unrealistic as it may be, I would bring back KK if the Canes don’t qualify him. With MB (and Ducharme soon) out of the picture, there’d be no bad blood. Maybe he’d be open to coming back.

I’d sign him to 4.5x6 deal.

Wright
Suzuki
Kotkaniemi

NOT A chance

KK is history, he can fall down in Carolina

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I am not against this, but I think it's better to load up picks like Arizona and properly rebuild through the draft. Off course, the Habs player development department blows, so I don't know how they intend to turn that around.

Arizona is a trash can and their approach is awful.

 

[Habs Halifax]

That's a terrible offer. There is no reason for Arizona to take this deal.

It's the only one I would consider and as deep as I would go. I'm not desperate to trade for Chychrun and I pass at this point in time. It wasn't really an offer, it was the highest I would go type narrative. I don't really care if they say no cause I probably consider that others will go deeper and I don't even make an offer.

Not sure you comprehended that post well.

 

[CapSpace]

I guess a guy like Chychrun would cost at least something like

-Caufield
-A 2022 1st (not ours so we'd have to trade elsewhere for one)
-a good prospect (Guhle/Primeau)
-and more (2nd 2023, Lehkonen/Armia, an other prospect)

Even with that kind of offer there are surely better offers to me made from other teams.

Arizona have no reason to trade him unless they get a king's ransom, and many teams will be ready to pay it for a 1D not even in his prime.

For a guy whose never played more than 58 games in any one season. I'll pass. And if that's the ask, he's not going anywhere.

 

[themilosh]

4 years?

Gorton should quit now.

To do this right, itll take 4 years, incl this one. It all starts at trade deadline 2022

Nonsense...4 years?!

There's no reason it should take that long other than gross incompetence.

It's not an expansion team, he's not going to gut this roster and some of the "rebuild" work already began 3 years ago.

Poor soul thinking this team will be competitive in 3 years or less

 

[MadMslm]

Doubt we could be in the running for Chychrun.

It would cost a lot and so many other teams like the Kings and Edmonton could offer better packages.

Poor soul thinking it takes 4 years to make a team competitive.

4 years lol.

See you in 2026-27?!! LMAO!!!

You guys are hilarious, you guys really think they're going to gut this roster and start over from scratch like they're an expansion team lol.
