Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread Part XI

[Captain Mountain]

Dorion has enough adversity to deal with. If he artificially cuts down the pool of suitors for his players just because they may be a division rival, then it'll be the Sens's loss and I'm good with that too.

That didn't stop him when dealing Hoffman or Karlsson, don't know what changed this time.

That didn't stop him when dealing Hoffman or Karlsson, don't know what changed this time.

The fact that they got absolutely nothing for the two of them should motivate him.

 

[26Mats]

To MTL: Bobrovsky and Panarin (contingent on extensions signed)
To Columbus: Carey Price

Could Columbus get more than that?

Clearly, but when you're conducting an auction, you try and fill the floor. The more suitors the better the price paid, goes without saying.

Gallagher invisible for half of the season ?
23 goals playing against the opposite best lines game after game is an amazing production . Probably one of the best lines playing that role in the NHL .

I mean, watching him every game, hes been invisible for long, long stretches this year.

Its good that he puts up 23 goals, but he can do more.

Gallagher labeled as invisible is the hottest take of the millennium

They didn't do that with Hoffman though, and then they didn't do it with Karlsson after Hoffman blew up in their face. I just don't know what changed. If you're not willing to open the field with Karlsson after Hoffman, not sure why it would be different for Stone or Duchene.

What's changed is that they're at the last possible juncture to get something for those players. They had more time with Karlsson and Hoffman.

Dorion will still find a way to screw it up, regardless.

To Columbus: Carey Price

Yeah, I’m not sure Carey and Mrs Price would accept a trade to Columbus Ohio.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Yeah, I’m not sure Carey and Mrs Price would accept a trade to Columbus Ohio.

Agreed. But what about value? Seems like a solid offer. Would you do it if Price didn't have a NMC?

He's not invisible, he's slow IMO. Guy is still scoring goals however.

 

[Milhouse40]

Don't know what the plus might be on top of Drouin. Hopefully, it wouldn't have to be a 1st -- maybe a prospect?

It will get a 1st or player that was drafted in the 1st (Like Suzuki or Poehling).
A center is much more valuable than a winger to begin with.....and Duchene is a lot better than Drouin

I'm sure they did it because they wanted the best chances to not finish dead last since they gave their 1st round pick. Now it doesn't matter anymore.

That's a pretty dumb strategy for not finishing dead last.

Drouin is also 5 years younger. I wish the possibility were real ... one can dream, I suppose.

Maybe they learned from their mistakes? Likely no, but maybe?

Well...that's still pretty dumb to trade Hugues or Kappo.

not even a remote chance that happens, lol

 

[26Mats]

Yeah, I’m not sure Carey and Mrs Price would accept a trade to Columbus Ohio.

Carey's actually not much of a big city guy.

 

[26Mats]

If all the players are on board, do you do it?

 

[thegoalie39]

Yeah, I’m not sure Carey and Mrs Price would accept a trade to Columbus Ohio.

One place Price might waive his NMC to is Colorado....Varlamov is a free agent ....Grubauer is horrible and their top prospect Spencer Martin has not been very good in the AHL.

 

[Scriptor]

Drouin is also 5 years younger. I wish the possibility were real ... one can dream, I suppose.

I'd like Duchene if we kept Drouin, The two would go well together.

 

[26Mats]

To Columbus: Charles Hudon
To MTL: Anthony Duclair

 

[Mrb1p]

Who would say no to a similar goalie to Price AND an elite first line winger ?

 

[sampollock]

Thing is , never happen, so no talk needed

 

[Runner77]

That would mean you'd have to give another piece that stings more than Drouin.
