Did you get the new PS5? The power on these new machines to make such big trades!

Kidding of course, but your valuation is off IMO and there's only a very small chance you see either #2 or #4 happen.

1) I think it's highly unlikely that Ekholm returns two 1sts and a roster player of Lehkonen's calibre.
2) The only way Getzlaf moves is if he requests it - no idea why he'd want to come to MTL.
3) Not a bad trade, could happen.
4) Laine getting moved in the middle of the season after just recently being traded for? Traded for pending UFAs, an under-achieving prospect, and picks? Unlikely.

Also, regardless of how realistic or not it may be, I don't think it puts MTL into contender-status.

Sadly I think some teams will give way more for him. Its gonna be a costly auction , also the fact that he needs to bubbles 2 weeks to go to Canada feels like he will be traded in a U.S city.

i would add depending on the ask but that's what i'd start with (like a Mysak tier prospect or something)

I'm repeating myself and echoing a lot of what others have said but Ekholm makes way too much sense for us. Not an old washed up vet at 30, mobile, big, some offense, and a cap hit at 3.75m for the next two years??? We need that guy, he's the perfect fit for our team.

That's not bad at all. I'd do 2021 1st for sure. I guess it depends on the roster player.

Most have put Chiarot into Ekholm trades, but it sounds like Chiarot could be out for awhile. I thought he had broken his hand, but it sounds like he broke his wrist. A hand you can come back fairly quickly from - a wrist forget it. Minimum 6-8 weeks. He could be out indefinitely. Don't see Nashville wanting a guy out for the season and then going into a UFA contract year.

Damn I thought he for sure had the boxer's fracture the way he reacted ..

No way i'm touching that Ekholm deal and no way CLB is touching that deal

I thought so as well, but apparently more serious than that. He may not be a tradeable asset.

If Chariot can't go the other way for Ekholm , then Byron has to be part of the deal or Kulak+Lehkonen. Otherwise Toffoli...The Habs don't have the cap space otherwise.

Habs have about 1.6mil of clear space by the deadline given how they've juggled the cap throughout the season so far. Lehkonen (2.4) would be enough to fit Ekholm (3.75).

If they trade for Ekholm to replace Chariot, they are going to do it now, not at deadline (which is in a month)

Only 8 weeks left in the year. If chiarot is out 6-8 weeks with a broken hand we can Patrick Kane him until the playoffs and come out with:

Ekholm- weber
Edy- petry
Chiarot - Romanov

One of chiarot or edy is then probably taken in the expansion draft. Romanov then moves up to second pair next year, and first pair the year after when ekholm leaves.

I think it’s inevitable the Habs will acquire a top-4 LHD this week. We will finally sacrifice a 1st round pick +.

How would y’all feel if we traded for Fowler?

Maybe.

Habs likely won't do it if they have to move multiple roster players to fit him under the cap. It's much easier to just ride it out with Mete and Fleury.

Nashville probably doesn't want to have to take back Byron just so the Habs can get the deal done earlier. Makes a lot more sense for them to wait it out, drum up some bidders, and get as good of a deal as they can.
