Proposal: Trade Thread #63

[salbutera]

He's still better than a lot of what we have here.

If Hall waives his NMC and comes relatively cheap...yes I think that would be a helpful pickup.

Hall-KK-Gallagher is definitely intriguing..

 

[Mrb1p]

I don't think Lindholm is available

Theyre listening for sure.

 

[Mrb1p]

Chiarot/Edmundson as cap dump
Guhle
1st rounder
Mete for sweetener

That does it for Lindholm pretty sure. Instant best pair in the league with Lindholm-Petry ?

 

[salbutera]

I don't think Lindholm is available

Next two games vs CGY are crucial IMO - if Habs can win both in regulation, that might put the dagger in Flames playoff hopes, and might make Hanafin potentially available, since I don’t think he’s a Sutter type - and there’s no 14-day quarantining issue

Canadiens eyeing defenceman Ekholm? — The Fourth Period

When was the last time anyone predicted a MB move? Usually out of left field

Last offseason with Anderson vs Domi and the Toffoli signing

 

[Big Empty]

Are you willing to give up a 1st and a 2nd or a gokd prospect for Ekholm?

I think that will be the market price. We'll see. It's steep, but if he can be re-signed it might be worth it.

I just don't know what the trajectory of his career is well enough. Does he project to be good until HF he's 35? Or just until he's 32 or 33? Has he already shown signs of declining? Etc...

Yup I’d pay a 1st+2nd for Ekholm. It would really solidify our D core.

Don't think anyone was saying Toffoli to the Habs. I think most were predicting Hoffman.

I remember seeing a tweet the day before Toffoli sign saying that MTL and Toffoli had serious discussion

When was the last time the fourth period ever predicted anything?

I post this guy's stuff and it gets taken down right away even though he seems to have some legitimate sources

A horrific overpayment for a 30 point defensemen with an injury history sheet a mile long

So I take it you haven't watched much of Hampus Lindholm career ? Lmao. A 30 points D with injury history...

Just one of the best ES defenseman in the league, nothing to see here, clearly an overpayment.. Maybe Guhle can sniff his jockstrap one day, lmao.

Lots of people, myself included, were predicting Bergevin to go after Toffoli strongly since he had reportedly been very interested in him in the past. Whether Toffoli would want to come here was a different story. But not a very surprising signing at all.

What's his point totals year over year? Why has he missed so many games in his career....spa days, manicures?

There's no problem trying to upgrade, we all want that, but when people go full Nick Cage on their trade proposals, they have to called out on it.

Obviously if you don't know anything about Lindholm and jsut watch his stats page, he may look underwhelming.

By now you should know I know my stuff though, Lindholm is a 25 +ES pts D, thats top pair D production. The fact he plays second PP shouldn't take away from his value, anyway we don't need a PP defenseman, we need an ES minutes munching monster. Which is exactly what Lindholm is.

He's also as injury prone as Markov was. Freak incidents doesn't mean you are prone to injuries.

There's also the fact he's been playing on a bottom feeder devoid of all talent for almost half a decade now, but hey what ever, you are clearly an expert on the matter.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

If Bergevin is capable of acquiring Ekholm, he might be saving his job for another few months!!
Would be a solid fit

A 25 point D man, who has only played 80% of his total games in 8 years. Has 1 year left on his deal. There's no way I'd give 2 1st's, a top 4 Defenceman and Mete like you are suggesting.

That deal is just not smart management imo....and shocking, he's out for 6 weeks with another injury. So maybe you don't know as much as you tell us you do. He's a decent enough player, just not as good as what you're offering to acquire him.

Ya I would take Lindholm in a heartbeat. I don't really know the nature of his injuries but I suspect the price would be a high for him. He's only 27 years old, 6'3, good skater that can move and carry the puck, log a lot of minutes, play in any situation. It would be like having another Petry in the lineup.

Agree, I'm sure he'll be inquiring. Would be a nice addition if the price is right.

The fit is literally so natural now that Chiarot's hurt that I would be stunned if it doesn't happen.

It would cost though.

 

[Sterling Archer]

(He won a hart in NJ)

and PK won a Norris and Theodore won a Vezina and Hart. Happened a long time ago.

Doesn't mean Hall is a Hart worthy player now or close to it.
