Proposal: Trade Thread #64

[Sterling Archer]

I think you need to read again

My bad on the last part. But still think your being overdramatic about Bergevin’s legacy being tied to trading for Ekholm.

 

[BigHabs]

3rd round pick



Luke Glendenning



Artturi Lehkonen



Will Butcher




1st round pick
Ryan Poehling
Ben Chiarot



Mattias Ekholm
3rd round pick


Toffoli Kotkaniemi Gallagher
Drouin Suzuki Anderson
Tatar Danault Armia
Byron Glendenning Perry
Evans

Ekholm Weber
Edmundson Petry
Butcher Romanov
Mete

Hampus Lindholm and Derek Grant in Anaheim might be the actual perfect fit for the Habs.

Guhle is probably enticing to them since they have his brother there.

That's a terrible return for Ekholm.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

1st + mete for ekholm, lets go

Ekholm - Weber
Ed - Petry
Chiarot - Romanov
Kulak

I’d do it. Elkhound isn’t a star but we can’t afford one anyway. He’d improve our blueline so much.

 

[Tuggy]

What!? Evans is very good at what he does. He’s deadly on the PK by his tenacious forecheck and same goes at 5V5. He also creates a lot of chances for a 4th line, gives many good hits + pacing for 20 points with 10-12 min/game.

What more do you expect? I wouldn’t trade for a 5% upgrade in the dot over everything stated above. Give me the young hungry guy that wants to prove himself rather than trading a 3rd round pick for a 35yo guy ‘good on faceoffs’.

just my .02 cents

I don't agree with your assessment of his play at all.

Not that he's been bad or anything, but I would prefer a bigger vet with some experience going into the playoffs at that position.

The only problem with Grant is that he’s under contract for this year and the next 2 seasons

And Lindholm is a bandaid who's out for a month and a half.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So Ekholm is the 2021 Trade Deadline target we all exhaustively talk about to be disappointed?

We need him well before the trade deadline. If we get him this weekend, he'll be available by the end of March and all of April when we play Calgary 5 times and Toronto 6 times.

 

[Vachon23]

Maybe but Lindholm is freaking stud so I’m all in on him. I just doubt he’s really available and if he is, he will cost an arm and a leg

He's good but definitely not a stud imo. He's a solid 2nd pairing guy when not injured

If you’re honest, how many time did you see him play ? Because he’s clearly a 1st pair guy and he would be our best D. He’s one of the best in the league defensively, a real minutes eater, really good in transition and can put numbers. The only reason where not talking about him kore is because he’s playing in Anaheim.

Who is this mysterious Elkhound?!

A dozen full games at best.

He plays 22 minutes a night when healthy and he absolutely would not be our best defensemen, that's absurd. He's solid, not a gamer changer by any means and never has been.

Yesterday a guy said he'd give up a 1st, Guhle, Edmundson and Mete. That's absolutely ridiculous and borderline grounds for calling his family to check on him.

If he signed an extension because he only has 1 year left, I'd do a deal if the price was right but not absurd. He could play with Weber on that pairing and be fine.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Who is this mysterious Elkhound?!

Half stag, half canine, half man.

 

[BLONG7]

Habs need to move on Ekholm....asap
Chairot will miss some time....and even before that injury we needed to add a Dman...
Playoff teams will all be making moves...

 

[le_sean]

Hampus Lindholm is awesome. Not sure why someone would say differently. Only issue is you can count on him missing around 15 games a season.

I’d rather go for Cam Fowler who would likely be cheaper because he doesn’t really fit with the Ducks rebuild plans and he provides more offence.

He's never been awesome

Calgary are getting closer Marc. Do something!

would suck to lose Guhle but big fan of Hampus Lindholm but his he even available hes still just 26/27

 

[le_sean]

Then you have never watched him play.

Yes he would be our best D, Weber is not at Lindholm level anymore even if I think a presence like Hampus would help a lot Weber.

The thing with Fowler it’s his enormous contact and the fact that he has a 4 teams NMC. I really like the fit but the contract make this impossible

 

[The Nightman]

Lindholm is one of the better defensive d-men in the league. He’d be our best guy defensively by far. He is definitely a top pairing D, just not a 1st PP unit guy, which is why his TOI is a little lower.

Don’t think he’s getting traded either, not just because of his injury. Ekholm is way more realistic.

speaking of Anaheim, I’ve always really like Rikard Rakell and how much skill he brings to the table. such an underrated player.

 

[le_sean]

Yes he would be our best D, Weber is not at Lindholm level anymore even if I think a presence like Hampus would help a lot Weber.

Imagine thinking that Lindholm wouldn’t be our best defender when our top two defenders in icetime are Chiarot, who is a #5 and Weber who can’t skate or make a simple pass anymore.
