Imagine thinking Hampus f***ing Lindholm is our saviour on D lol. You guys are bananas, but that's the beauty of opinions

No one said he’d be a saviour. It would take more than one player. But at 27, he can definitely stick around and continue to be a top shutdown defender while young defencemen start to make the team (Guhle, Harris, Norlinder, Struble, Brook). This is on top of carrying this sad sack of a first pairing this season.

You can just drop it and admit you dont know shit about him, its pretty clear by now. Calling one of the best ES Dman in the league a 2nd pair D is absolutely absurd.
Its exactly what Im thinking.
A pairing like this can play 25 minutes a night, meaning Webers load can go down by a fair margin which would theoretically mean Weber does better on a nightly basis.
My fear is that theyd try to plug him on Webers side though.

As long as whoever we bring in can play with Petry on top pair I’m fine with it. The team can’t seem to accept Weber is no longer top pairing D as age is catching up with him, so I’m sure they’d plug whoever we get with him on first pair. He needs to be dropped to 2nd pair to get the best out of him.

How about Fowler’s games played record since he’s been in the league? He misses quite a few games too — not something the Habs can afford in a condensed schedule.
Would you not prefer Eckholm, who is more of a horse, which is what you’d need in a 1st pairing D?
I think we need another mobile defenceman.
Petry is our only one right now.
Weber
Chiarot
Edmundson
Aren’t mobile
Mete is running around a lot
Romanov is still learning
Kulak has weak stick handling skills
we also need a faceoff center
We need a scoring winger
Basically 3 missing pieces.
Eric Staal makes sense
Rickard Rakell makes sense
Matthias Ekholm makes sense
I get rid of Paul Byron Brett Kulak and Lehkonen to create space

I wouldnt want Fowler unless he came really cheap.
Lindholm or Ekholm are the only option I can think of.

The scoring winger will be Caufield and Staal is too expensive to be a fourth line C.
Mrb1p
PRICERSTOPDAPUCK
In assets. Hes not a fourth line C, at worst hes a 3c. Some team will overpay for him.

I mean his points pace over 82 games since 2015 is 9 goals, 30 points. He’s also elite defensively. Don’t make it seem like he’s a bigger Victor Mete.

I know enough about him.
So you're still good with your offer of a 1st, Guhle, Edmundson and Mete from yesterday for him even though you know he's out for 6 weeks?
Mrb1p
PRICERSTOPDAPUCK
Yes, I don't care, there's absolutely no way Guhle even touches Lindholm as a player and he's going to be around for the playoffs. Im not sure Anaheim does it though.

4 pieces for a 30 point defenseman... Crazy. But I'll end it there. Just wanted you to say you'd still do that deal. Thought maybe you were just having another bad day of trade proposals
Mrb1p

Stop calling him a 30 point defenseman, he's literally a top pair D. At some point five different people have told you you didn't know shit, its probably a good time to stop.
Value of: - Hampus Lindholm to Rangers
Proposal: - ANA - VAN (Lindholm for Boeser)
Vancouver fans willing to trade Boeser + for "A 30 points Dman"
A bit of reading on what people think of Lindholm. Jesus christ how stupid are these people, amirite ?

A defensive defensemen that can face Matthews/McDavid each night without problem and that would help the transition and the puck possession, yes it's an essential need and they don't run in the street

Post whatever you want about him, that's never been the main issue. It doesn't change the fact that giving up 4 pieces on a guy who's out for 6 weeks, has 1 year left on his contract and would decimate our roster this season is a ridiculous move.
We should be focusing on the better player who the insiders have said would cost what it took to get Muzzin to the Leafs. Makes so much more sense for the team right now and in the future.
It was nice chatting with you and I apologize for my tone. I'll drop it.

The Habs don't have a need for complementary pieces like Muzzin. Of they're going to get someone, they should get someone who is very good, and that costs money.

Ekholm isn't a complimentary piece, imo of course. He's also cheaper and won't run the risk of losing valuable assets going forward. He probably won't resign here in a year which needs to be taken into consideration, along with the expansion draft.

If there was ever a year to trade a 1st I can't think of a better one than this year. Shallow draft class, mid to late 1st, little scouting possible for prospects and we have a ton of picks anyways!
