Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread - What's Next?

[ArtPeur]

I don't.

Was it Gainey that said he wouldn't negotiate contracts while the season was still going on or was it Gauthier? Either way, Bergevin has been so great giving those contracts to Plekanec and Emelin...

Gainey.

 

[yianik]

I do.

He had the balls to acquire Kovalev.

Those were exciting times to watch the team play. Now? I'd rather be a part of the online TMZ picking a part the team because actually watching them doesn't bring me any joy.

MB had the balls to get Vanek, Petry etc. But yes, I agree that BG would not be shy about pulling the trigger. Problem is BG made many small bad deals ( due mostly to his damn coach, JM ) and a couple bad bigger ones. You know the one.

Yup. that was the 2nd worst trade the habs have made in modern history. At least that comes to my younger mind.

But top six wingers that Gainey/Gauthier added:

Kovalev
Gionta
Cammelier
Cole
Gomez (was a 50+ point getter coming in)
Tanguay

to list what comes to mind.

Bergevin in his 4th year: Vanek (who walked)

Thought you were just talking trades, but yes you are right, he signed some talent. You forgot his first splash, Hamrlik. That signing was trumped by BG to say we were back.Good signing. Thing is, MB has been busy signing our own guys, not much cash for UFAs, and not as many coming on market now.

Another point I'd like to argue, is that Gainey's squads were indeed better. But they didn't have Price in his prime.

 

[vokiel]

What's next? We sell:

1. Plekanec, 6 million
2. Markov, 5.75 million
3. Desharnais, 3.5 million
4. Eller 3.5 million
5. Emelin 4.1 million

And hope Bergevin is intelligent enough to understand the word re-tool. That list is 22.85 million in cap space. Enough to talk to Yandle, Stamkos, Boedker, etc...

The ask for Drouin appears to be an NHL roster defenceman and a Grade A prospect. #Habs #Lightning



I wonder how much Yzerman likes Emelin

Would you do Bealieu + McCarron?

Emelin and Scherbak ? Well, it fits, Scherbak being Grade A in our pool.

i automatically disregard anything that Wilde says, sorry.

He has been very good this year .... Emelin + Scherbak or Pateryn + Juulsen not really sure what the definition of grade A prospect is because your not getting Marner for Drouin.

 

[Habitant#1]

Would you do Bealieu + McCarron?

I wouldn't, hurts the Habs playoff chances too much.

I expect the trade to be for futures.

 

[vokiel]

Would you do Bealieu + McCarron?

No I wouldn't trade a cost controlled dman like Beaulieu when the team is tanking.

 

[yianik]

Would you do Bealieu + McCarron?

Prefer not McCarron. Scherbak.

 

[bryan1966]

Sherback or McCaron should not be included.

Juulsen or Lernout along with Pateryn / Emelin / Carr / Fucale

 

[digmor crusher]

TB laughs if one of Sherback or McCarron aren't included.

 

[frapp10]

That defencman has to be NB. No way they would do emelin.

 

[BigHabs]

After today's deal, I do like the fact we now have basically 2.5mill in cap space to work with now.

 

[The Great Weal]

So is anybody else done if they trade Galchenyuk for anything less than a first liner?

 

[BigHabs]

So is anybody else done if they trade Galchenyuk for anything less than a first liner?

I wouldn't say done. I guess it would depend on the return in all honesty.

Overall though, trading a already promising young big center who is getting real taste of it this year for the first time and still thriving is counter productive if you ask me.

I mean the return would have to be very solid. You build around the center supposedly Bergevin says "you can't find through trades". I guess unless Bergevin is trading him

This overall just doesn't make sense why it's even being thought of.

 

[Miller Time]

Emelin and Scherbak ? Well, it fits, Scherbak being Grade A in our pool.

That, or Gilbert instead of Emelin if they want less money...

Nothing more value wise

 

[vokiel]

Tampa was rumored to be looking for a young RD like Shattenkirk or Ceci. I don't think Bergevin is on top of this. He makes AHL trades folks, not block busters.

 

[Habsawce]

I don't trust Bergevin to make another single move. Fire him, and let Timmins do the fire sale and tank. Retool for next year when Price is back 100%

That's the best thing to do for the franchise if they don't want to suck in 3 years.
