Speculation: Trade Proposal Thread Ver 9

[quidam1981]

. However getting RoR would solidify our top-6

Not to pick on you, because I use this expression as well, but can someone explains what "solidifying" something means in that context? Way back, we were saying that Hamrlik had "solidified" our defense. Same thing for Petry this year.

I feel like it doesn't actually mean anything. What does "making our top-6 more solid" means, really? Making it better? More talented? Harder to play against? More balanced? Tougher?

Seems to me like a catchy expression so vague that it can mean anything.

Anyways, linguistic rant over.

 

[HabsTown]

My deals :

Some moves + trades I'd like and think ( In my opinion) the other team could be interested :

re-sign petry
re-sign Mitchell

Then :

Colorado receives : Alexei Emelin + B prospect
Montreal receives : Alex Tanguay

Nashville receives : Thomas Plekanec + B prospect
Montreal receives : James Neal

Arizona receives : DD + PAP ( could be one or another, in a perfect world both)
Montreal receives : Korpikoski + 5th 2015 ( If one trade : DD vs Korpi or PAP vs 5h 2015)

The Montreal Canadiens are proud to present your team for the 2015-2016 season :

Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Neal
Tanguay-Eller-Gallagher
Korpikoski-De La Rose-Weise
Prust-Mitchell-Smith-Pelly

Beaulieu-Subban
Markov-Petry
Tinordi/Pateryn/Gilbert

 

[Ezpz]

Tanguay has no interest in being here. Do you not remember when he quit on the team and sat out of the lineup to stay healthy for free agency?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

nope.

what about

Emelin + Fucale for Pit 1st

Unless you plan on moving the 1st rounder for some help how does that make the Habs better? We aren't rebuilding

 

[HabsDieHard*]

I'd look at St. Louis, who needs space to sign Tarasenko and is once again coming off of a disappointing playoff.

They will not be looking for money in return in any deal.

McCarron + 1st + Tinordi for Steen?

 

[HabsTown]

Well, with how he was treated by last management, can't blame him. He wasn't in the team's plan short after the beginning of the season + he got injured.

That's a lot to pay, good player but not sure i'd move that package for Steen. I'd call for Backes and Oshie as well. I see Oshie being a good fit here

 

[Marc-E-]

I could see a move for a guy like Sharp for Plekanec. Malkin would be a great catch but it's gonna cost the moon.

 

[hototogisu]

What about Radim Vrbata? I remember there were some rumblings that the Canucks weren't happy with him or were looking into moving him. He's 33 but only has 1 year left on his deal, maybe he wouldn't cost as much as some of the other names out there. Scored 31 goals last year, although playing with the Sedins probably helped that.

It was more that they'd have to listen to offers for him if someone through a huge package at them. Vrbata had a great year, even when he wasn't playing with the Sedans.

That doesn't benefit the Hawks at all. They are a cap team.

 

[Habsawce]

Go get Joe Thornton or Eric Staal. Move Lars Eller into the #2C spot and Galchenyuk to the #3 spot. Lars and Alex can learn a lot from a guy whose been around a long time and had good success.

But nope, we'll see Warwick Davis back in the #1C spot with Pacioretty on his wing and some talentless hack on the right side to start the season. Status quo, waiting for a propsect to turn into a stud without realizing it can't happen with muppet boy at the wheel.

 

[yianik]

I know you give to get, but

Could we get Sharpe without giving up any roster players ( guessing Chicago would not want anyway , unless young guy very cheap ) and without losing Scherbak , McCarron or 2015 1st ? Would be fine moving 2016 1st, Tinordi, Fucale etc.

 

[amude38]

what do you guys think of this?

Montréal

Oshie

St-Louis

Lekhonnen
Tinordi
2rd 2016

Well there was this weird comment from Willie Desjardins during the playoffs:



Could be nothing, but I guess it could be an indication that there's more to moving Vrbata beyond his production, since it has been excellent.

Anyway just tossing out ideas. He wouldn't come dirt cheap but maybe slightly less expensive than some of the big names being thrown around.

I like it although if I thought they would give Tinordi and Lekhonnen a fair shot here I wouldn't.

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Oshie really hasn't progressed that much as a player overall.

I'd much rather get Steen.

Bit older, would likely cost a little less in a deal, and a great 2 way guy who can play C or W.

 

[hototogisu]

I knew Oshie's playoff track record was bad but I didn't realize it was 9 points in 30 games bad. That's even worse than Desharnais (barely).

 

[Habsawce]

Oshie is a defensive forward. Do we need more of those?

 

[amude38]

Felt it was a right wing who wont be too expensive and would fit well here.

 

[Lebowski]

Yeah, people crap on Plekanec for being terrible in the playoffs, then want to go out and get Oshie...

Don't get me wrong, he'd be a great add to our top 6. But he's nothing special either.

Shootout heroics!!!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Well.. I'd do Pleks for Oshie straight up.

 

[Lebowski]

Well.. I'd do Pleks for Oshie straight up.

That would imply DD is here to stay, so no, I wouldn't.
