Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread XX

[Sterling Archer]

If Bergevin can’t manage to take advantage of other teams cap issues and pull off a trade for a top end/ impact player, he should absolutely sign a couple of players to trade at the deadline for picks and allow the kids to stay and develop in the minors. It’s obviously not going to be a year where we contend so might as well stock up for a draft that will be held in Montreal and add even more pieces for the next GM to use to actually make a deal.

 

[Vachon23]

Pominville in a PTO, I would do it but not more

 

[Runner77]

Another summer, and more players who are 35 years old plus who suddenly want to play for Montreal.

But not 5 years earlier when they could have been much more impactful.

That would require managerial skills that MB hasn't shown any proficiency in for 8 years... Not realistic to imagine that he'll suddenly figure it out at this stage.

Amazing how that works. Montreal is the has-been capital of hockey.

I’m nothing if not an optimist.

Bang on, MB you are a subpar GM if these teams are in cap headache, and you cant swarm in

 

[26Mats]

That awkward moment when Pominville is still much better offensively than any of Lehkonen or Armia.

I think even Lehkonen and Armia are better than Pominville at this stage of his career.

 

[davey999]

Toronto guys want to play in TO, Montreal guys want no part of it.

 

[axman88]

Just sign Gardner already and get rid of Alzner

 

[Hfbsux]

I don't care who you are, but if you think we should have signed Kevin freakin Shattenkirk at this point, I'm not gonna consider your opinion seriously from now on.

Totally agree, It's just not logical

Weber, Petry and Juulsen on the right side is locked plus Folin as the 7th and Brook, Fleury in the AHL

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Let's bury ahlner into another dumb contract woohoo

 

[TT1]

I can't see them moving Cernak at all. He is a great player and was honestly more impressive than Sergachev every time I have seen them play.

Agreed, Cernak is a beast.

Shattenkirk would probably have helped our horrible PP, at the very least.

From some Rangers fans account, he wasn't atrocious like some seems to portray him, he just was overpaid for what he brought.

BUT, I didn't want him anyway, so whatever.

Still, I don't see Juulsen as an immediate lock, last year, he started the season well, then struggled, then his injury happened. I hope he comes back from where he started last season, otherwise I have no qualms about him beginning in Laval, even though it would create another kind of problem, with him, Brook and Fleury all on the right side, and Lamarche being a good veteran RHD for Bouchard.

Habs PP improved over the last 10-15 games,trending up. He is too much of a risk at this point to jettison another RD.

 

[The Great Weal]

Agreed, Cernak is a beast.

He is everything I hoped Juulsen would be by now

 

[sampollock]

CAN'T believe that MB's only claim to fame this off season, was a offer sheet to AHO, that's it????????????????

no plan B or C or ????

 

[smirob]

Did people actually want Shattenkirk??

We don’t need to be in on everyone that becomes available. Bergevin needs to use money to fill the holes we have - I’d much rather we keep the 1M difference and slot Juulsen as 3Rd AND try to fill a hole elsewhere

 

[vokiel]

I believe he was already at Plan F after the draft.

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

Our forward group is looking pretty nice for future. Kotkaniemi, Caufield, Domi, Drouin, Suzuki, Poehling and Gallagher is a nice group. The focus should be all on defense. We need a stud young defenseman.

If there were a Plan B or C, would we even know?

What are the chances Domi, Gallagher and Drouin will cost around 20 millions on the Cap in 2 years?
Don't look too far ahead, you'll miss what's happening now and might never get where you think you're going.

They have about 5 M of cap space committed on 3 players to play in Laval, about 7.7 M on salary. Just play Alzner, Weise and Peca, there is no need to sign more dead weight. With Hudon, Weal, Cousins, Thompson and McCaron fighting for a 4th line spot, that's more than enough. If Poehling, Suzuki and some other prospects do manage to shine, then you can trade away your current 4th liners for picks. Dlo brought in a 4th which was pretty unexpected.

Exactly.
