I'd rather swing Emelin to anyone at this point. Possibly Markov.
i'd be happy if we got a 5th for Emelin, realistically im expecting a 7th or future considerations tho.
Why would MB trade Emelin for a 5th? ....or 7th? That makes no sense.
cus he has a terrible caphit, hes a bottom pairing dman
This team needs offence so bad. I'm not sure I care if they're smallish. They don't need just another top-6 player, they need a top line player.
They could use a middle six player to replace Prust on the Eller line.
How would you guys feel about a trade centered around Gallagher for Eberle?
Edmonton is looking for depth and upside in G and on D and even with the extension, I feel like Yakupov is the piece they're dangling. He'd be well worth the risk, he's only 21 at a cap hit of 2.5M and could turn out to be exactly what Montreal need. They have a better leadership group than Edmonton and there is also the Russian element with Markov, Emelin and Galchenyuk (I know he's American).
G Fucale + RD Tinordi <---> RW Yakupov
Sign Petry
Move Desharnais and Gilbert for picks or prospects
Buy out Parenteau... maybe
Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
*UFA* - Galchenyuk - Yakupov
Andrighetto - Eller - Weise
Prust - De La Rose - Smith-Pelly
Flynn
Markov - Subban
Emelin - Petry
Beaulieu - Pateryn
Price
Tokarski

There are quite a few intriguing RFAs on the market, should they make it to July 1, that would be good additions. Stepan comes to mind as one.
