So now that Sportsnet (Doug Maclean) is looking for hits by saying Montreal is in on a signed Duchene, what is an acceptable cost that won't have fans reaching for a garbage can to puke?

Nothing. I'd rather gamble that he's still there on July 1st and make a pitch then if Bergevin is truly interested. Honestly, I would prefer addressing the issue on LD before worrying about adding to our forwards.

Perhaps. With the possible exception of Gardener, there are no options at LD coming up as UFA. Very few forwards either for that matter.

If he's locked up, I'd do it in a shot. Another young, talented forward for our core.

If Panthers get Bob and Panarin this summer, based on Juulsen being 100%, Brook NHL ready next year, AND panthers NOT winning the lotto and the Habs ending up with around the 18th pick.

Panthers -
Petry
Drouin
Lindgren
1st 2019

Habs -
Huberdeau
Borgstrom
Reimer (cap dump)
1st 2019

Id rather keep our pick and get theirs.

I think
Petry is worth Borgstrom and a first
Drouin is worth around Huberdeau

Were giving Lindgren and a 1st to go from a 1st round from a 2nd on the Petry deal... thats quite a lot imo, just to get a few picks higher.

Id be willing to sacrifice Borgstrom if the 1st is top 10.

I dont know. Its a tough one, maybe if we get a 2nd back? I like the essence of it though.

 

[vokiel]

How about: Danault for Brodin?

 

[Mrb1p]

We don't get any help on LD though, so that 1st rounder better be a good one.

The first is probably good enough to land Byram or at least Robertson, thats huge.

 

[Mrb1p]

How about: Danault for Brodin?

Danault is the perfect 3C for now, next year is the time Id think about moving Danault, when Poehling is ready for top 9 duties.

I think Huberdeau is worth a good bit more then Drouin, I know Drouin is skilled and puts up points but he's frustrating and GM's are going to see his inconsistent play. Huberdeau with 69 pts last year, on pace for 76 this year.

For the pick I was thinking it would be around 8-10 spots higher. Panthers don't have a 2nd this year so maybe our 2nd vs their 1st if they would go for it.

I want Borgstrom badly, really think he's going to be a beast, a Borgstrom Kotka Leks line would be a lot of fun to see.

What the heck. I'd drive Petry to Florida myself.

I used to think Huberdeau was going to take the next step and be a star left winger, but I'm just not seeing it anymore. Him and Drouin are very similar players. Both have exciting qualities, but also drawbacks. Take them for what they are I guess.

You don't think putting up 69 pts last year and a .93 ppg this year makes him a star player?

 

[Kwikwi]

Drouin in 2 years = Huberdeau

Lateral move at best.

As for Duchene. Not a fan
Suzuki 1st Lekhonen for Duchene...

Drouin Duchene Domi
Tatar Danault Gallagher
Byron Kk Shaw
Hudon/peca/ DLo Thompson Armia

Im taking your word on Borgstrom but that 1st rounder is really bugging me. I kinda agree on Hubby though, but theres still some run off value there... like you say, maybe adding in a 2nd could cover for it.

Teams usually dont want to leave a draft without any top 90 picks.

Thats the value for a 45 points D.

it's not lateral if we get the better player now vs 2 years from now. Plus Drouin will likely always have consistency and defensive issues. It costs 400K a year more in cap but you would be getting a guy that is in his prime.

I wouldn't want to give up a 1st, Suzuki and Leks for Duchene.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Connor Brown seems like he would be a buy low, potential boom (slight) player.

Right handed shot and his shot seems to be pretty good, a type of player we need.

 

[Runner77]

He said it on sportsnet before the penguins and devils game

You heard him say it? What does "Habs are in on a signed Duchene", mean? They're one of several teams vying for a sign and trade or they're the team that lands him?

With an extension I think I do it. Duchene is much older, so losing Suzuki and a 1st hurts. But Duchene is really good in the new NHL.

 

[FF de Mars]

Thompson's defensive performance makes Danault expandable. Kotkaniemi needs better wingers. I hope Bergevin sells.

Don't underestimate Danault's two-way play - as in he also creates offense, which Thompson does not.

Thompson moves to 3rd and KK to 2nd if Danault is traded. Then, Kotkaniemi finally finds conversions to his passes.

Or just swap Kotkaniemi and Danault and leave Thompson on the 4th line.

Or grab a 1st round pick and give Kotkaniemi a better path.
