Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread

[Sterling Archer]

So having Weber at a high level for the next 3 to 5 years helps us win a cup in any year more than having Nylander for the next 13 to 15 years?

Weber is a more impactful player for the Habs than Nylander. Weber is a more useful player for the Habs than Nylander. Weber is more integral to the Habs than Nylander. Weber is more important for Habs being competitive than Nylander is.

 

[vokiel]

How about a trade around Scherbak for Jake Virtanen? Habs would need to add a bit I think. Both players needing a change of scenary.

They won't trade a roster player for a waiver wire player, forget about it.

 

[montreal]

If we are trading Scherbak, I would look at trying a package deal with another forward. See if the Ducks would be interested as I assume they are trying to make the playoffs but by losing Perry they might want some forward help to try for a LD prospect.

Yes, but Nylander likely has more good years left in him.

A trade isn't necessarily simply about what's good for the 2019 campaign, during which Nylander will likely play more games anyway.

That’s true of just about any younger player but doesn’t make us a better team now or later. That’s the point of a trade isn’t it. Make your team better than before by trying to fill a hole or switch for what you hope will be a better player. Nylander does nothing but add to the glut of wingers we already have in the lineup and on the farm.

We just have to put him at center

The point for the Habs would be to become a better team late, as the present matters little.

Trading Weber for Nylander is likely to be a winning proposition for the period 2020-2024, during which the Habs have a good shot of competing.

Nylander doesn't add to the glut of wingers, as he would be the first or second best of the existing wingers.

That said, there may be a better package available for Weber.

 

[sampollock]

trading for Nylander is a dream, and thus never happen

What do you guys think about Juolevi? Is there any chance of a trade around Scherbak?

I have no idea how to value Juolevi, saw few games last year. But from what I have read from half of the Canucks fans think he is a bust and the other half still think he might still rebound and be a decent guy.

Peterson would be solid

 

[MrNasty]

Coburn, Koekoek, and G. Olofsson are all reportedly trying to be moved before rosters are final. Any of these preferable over our other bottom pairing defense?

I would gamble with him. He obviously has the potential just not the right mind to play. maybe playing with a bunch of Fins helps him.

Of course we would do it but I really don’t think that the Canucks are ready to give up on Juolevi yet.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Yes juolevi would be a nice gamble but he eould cost alot still

 

[Sterling Archer]

Anyone else feel like a trade is imminent with the Habs? Nothing major but I can see some names being shopped right now.

Well I mean Scherbak must be on his way out. With Kotkaniemi in that means numbers wise its DLR or Scherbak. Guessing CJ takes DLR.

Meh, I'd rather give one of the Czechs a shot instead of picking through another team's leftovers. Koekoek is maybe an exception but he would probably cost a decent pick.

 

[The Great Weal]

Holy f***. I just realized that Alzner/Shaw/Plekanec have a combined cap hit of 10.775 million. That is insanity. None of those players should be on this team let alone a good team.

Team is crap so it doesn't matter.

 

[The Great Weal]

I mean it could have really mattered if you wanted to bring back a player like Radulov. I would rather have spent all that money on one good player instead of 3 players that should be in the press box. Even if it doesn't matter and we are trying to lose, that is just awful cap management.

Alzner was a horrible signing, 100% The Shaw one, at the time; the team was competitive and he is a playoff player. The problem is, he's been injured nonstop. You can't really predict that, so I'll give him a pass.

As for Plekanec, I dont' get the hate. The guy has 998 career games and almost all of them were with Montreal. He's been a loyal, team guy and the team is shit. Why do people care if he got re-signed for a year? Plekanec deserves to hit 1000 with the Habs, plus he could get the team another pick at the deadline.

No the Shaw one was bad from the get go. No reason for him to get that much term. I don't hate Plekanec, but he does nothing for us right now. I'd rather have DLR.

We're talking about 4th liners here. Don't lose sleep over it.

I agree. They gave two potentially excellent second-rounders to Chicago for him. Two guys that would play as regular and contribute this season, even last season. Better keep Eller to center 3rd line than trading for Shaw.
