Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread

[Sterling Archer]

Center available!!!

 

[Tighthead]

The question isn’t whether it’s a smart move, the question is does Bergevin do it. Those aren’t one and the same.

 

[MXD]

Dale Weise on waivers too.

 

[Captain Mountain]

His contract is bad and Montreal already has to clear a body. No way.

 

[SquiddFX]

No. Please no.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The magical endearment for former top pick busts is so touching.

 

[The Great Weal]

Someone put the Ryan Reynolds "but why?" Gif.

 

[Skip Bayless]

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Hell no. Who would you place on waivers afterwards to make room for him?

 

[De Montreal]

If it wasnt for Kotkaniemi, maybe. The guy had 50 points 2 years ago as a 27 years old.

 

[le_sean]

So you trade them at the deadline if you are going down that road

How would you trade Radulov at $7m per for 5-6 years after just signing him?

 

[26Mats]

Canucks forward Sam Gagner placed on waivers - Sportsnet.ca

Does Bergevin take a chance here? An actual center aged 29, but still has 2 years left at 3.3 million I think.

Yes.

30 points last year on a bad team. Can he be worse than Pleks???

 

[26Mats]

Hell no. Who would you place on waivers afterwards to make room for him?

Plekanec

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Any examples?

Bergevin should of pushed hard for Shea Theodore but it's too late now. Gostisbehere? Why would Philky trade him?

There's not many out there that's available.

Ghosty ? he is a 70 points D..... he's an untouchable.
Shea, MB wanted Shea + Suzuki, he said so during an interview but Vegas didint want.

 

[26Mats]

Why?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

Plekanec for 1 year or Sam Gagner for 2.

The choice is easy imo.


Hudon Gagner Lehkonen

or

Hudon Plekanec Lehkonen

 

[The Great Weal]

How would you trade Radulov at $7m per for 5-6 years after just signing him?

If you realize that you dont want to be mediocre and dont want to sign Markov and Radulov, you trade them at the deadline. Nobody would have guessed that Bergevin messed up this bad.

How come ? The team was doing very well back then. It is just very bad that they lost in the first round vs the Rangers.

 

[Agalloch]

Let's trade Scherbak for Julius Honka. I want all the finns!

 

[Miller Time]

would be great to pull a 1-for-1 trade for Shaw...

To Mtl
Gagner

To Vancouver
Shaw

would ensure Domi/Drouin stay at wing and minimize the roster necessity to keep JKo...

Drouin - Gagner/JKo - Tatar
Domi - Danault - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Pleks - Armia
Hudon - JDR/Peca - Byron
Peca, Scherbak

if JKo doesn't stick past 9 games, we're set
if he does, and there aren't any early injuries, Gagner/Peca/Pleks/JDR battle it out for press box/ice time duties

best case, by putting him in a top-6 role with solid wingers, Gagner puts up good numbers and at deadline or in offseason becomes a decent trade chip (since he'd only have 1 year left on his deal)... exactly the reclammation type project a smart GM would be all over to prop up and then gain rebuild assets for.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Plekanec

And when the injured players comeback. And obviously, you know you can't really do that to Pleky considering his service for this organization.

 

[26Mats]

And when the injured players comeback.

DLR

I'll take Sam Gagner at the player average contract for 2 years over DLR and Plekanec.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

DLR

Rather have DLR than Gagner.

 

[26Mats]

Rather have DLR than Gagner.

yeah as I wrote after you replied, I'd rather take a chance that Gagner can be a 40 to 50 point center again than a chance DLR somehow learns how to play in the offensive zone.

If Gagner works out, he could fetch a 1st at next year's deadline. If he doesn't, well we have the same thing we have with DLR.

 

[habsgirl5000]

this has MB bargain Bin special written all over it.....a free centerman, what more could MB ask for?.....MB will think its christmas......i will LOL so hard if MB goes for this

 

[The Great Weal]

I was talking about how Bergevin couldn't manage the cap situation in order to keep his best players. He also couldn't find any kind of replacement when he did lose these players.
