Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread (Part VIII)

[Runner77]

That's definitely a plausible reason. But I'm not 100% convinced MB himself followed Anaheim from Winnipeg to Toronto to pre-scout.

Yeah, that's minion stuff. When a GM travels, it's more meaningful.

 

[vokiel]

Or Del Zoto

I didn't know we were suffering for another Petry

 

[blarneylad]

A 1st and what to land him?

Ya and a young roster player ala Lehkonen? Or not enough?

 

[Kwikwi]

Let’s grab Reimer and Hepponiemi for Picks. If they want cap space for Bob

 

[ZUKI]

I have no clue why you people are even talking about him ? Pipedream ? Stone is NOT coming to MTL

You don't know him , don't know what he's in his mind , what would be the offer from Bergevin , what would be the other teams offer GMs , witch teams are going to get the money to pay him , what teams will need a player like him at that point , what his family think about it .....
But you are telling us " Stone is NOT coming to MTL "

f*** yeah!
But I doubt Florida includes Hepponiemi as part of a cap dump.

 

[G0bias]

You never mentioned trading Drouin so that we can get help elsewhere.

I'd look into moving Drouin for someone without his concerns or some help elsewhere.

This was exactly in the post before the one you first quoted. No offense man, would've saved us both time if you'd just read up on the discussion before jumping in.
Not gonna bother with the rest as you're now twisting what you actually did read. Beating a dead horse at this point.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Just food for thought.

Cute selfie. And yup im telling you Stone is NOT coming to MTL !

 

[Video Coach]

Silfverberg here we come!!

Seriously, maybe looking at Henrique, Rackell, Fowler? Lindholm and Montour not going anywhere.

Think more along the lines of Carter Rowney, Brian Gibbons, Del Zotto, etc

 

[Miller Time]

while our ongoing success makes it highly unlikely, as the deadline approaches i'm more and more convinced that we need to be sellers this year...

with our cap space, and some veterans that would be appealing to contenders (but expendable for us due to depth and/or timing), a saavy move or two could set us up very nicely by adding 1st's this and/or next year or quality prospect/young player in areas of need.

Further filling up the draft/prospect/young player stable this deadline and this summer should be the focus... then by next year's deadline we'll be that much better set to really push towards icing a contending roster by the fall of 2020 (if not spring of 2020).

Not focusing on being a "seller" this deadline and this off-season would be a mistake because by next winter/spring, we should be well shifted towards filling out the NHL roster holes we have (to being a contender) if we want to take advantage of a contending window with Price/Weber as key players... Stockpiling futures now to be better set up to make the necessary moves in 2020-2021 to push the roster over the top is a way better idea than wasting away some assets to bolster up the current squad for a playoff run that would require far too much luck for any realistic shot at a cup.

Prime movers:

Tatar - 1st + top-tier prospect
To CBJ for 1st(2020) & L.Foudy, or 1st + Carlsson + Milano

Shaw - 2nd + prospect
Rielly - late 2nd or 3rd
DLO - 3rd or prospect
To CGY for 1st + Dube + Frolik (cap)

Peca - 2nd
Schlemko - 3rd, prospect
To Colorado for 2nd & Ott 3rd

Benn - late 1st or 2nd + prospect
To NYI for Bellows

Use the cap space to take on a bad contract or two in order to get full premium in assets coming back our way.

not that we could make all of those transactions happen, but imagine going into March the extra picks in the next two drafts (2x 1st, 2nd, 3rd) plus a few other prospects, while still icing a lineup that is just as competitive as what we have today (albeit with no injury depth)

Drouin - Domi - Gallagher
Byron - Danault - Frolik
Lekhonen - JKO - Armia
Agostino - Chaput - Hudon

Mete - Weber
Kulak - Petry
Alzner - Ouellette

What was the anecdote about Hossa's gloves?

There was a rumor Marian Hossa was going to be a deadline acquisition, and somehow the rumor grew because someone found these Habs xolourec hockey gloves with M Hossa stitched inside....

Turns out it was Marcel Hossa's gloves that he left as the Rangers (whose gloves are also red and blue) just played at the bell centre

 

[smirob]

I’m not good at this

All those trades can be done this summer. Why threw away the effort of your team while all of this can be done later?

I love it. Someone couldn't tell the difference between Habs and Rangers gloves. Details, details. Thanks for sharing.

 

[smirob]

Still scouting Dallas as well...

Anaheim and Dallas seem to be on our radar....

 

[smirob]

Might as well try again;

Hudon for Nuke

Struggling player for struggling player. Nuke has better upside but Dallas frees some cap space for a TDL move...

Guys....have I nailed this one or what?

 

[Deebs]

3 games in a row scouting Anaheim eh... interesting

Who is Nuke?

Nichushkin

Not sure if Dallas accepts but it's a yes from me. Always liked these sorts of trades. Worked well for the Habs with Domi.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Thanks

I think you meant NO thanks

Not really. Habs next 3 opponents are Ducks, Jets and Leafs. Bergevin went to the Ducks/Jets game and now Ducks/Leafs.
