Proposal: Unwanted 3C to the Habs

[Gaud]

Simply enough your slightly overpaid and or unwanted 3C you no longerneed/want who can put up 30-40 points and ideally can PK.

Some targets include Kerfoot & JT Compher,

Normally in a value thread I'd ask how much, but in this one the question is how little would it take.

soooooo... Danault but cheaper? lol

 

[Gecklund]

Gambrell

 

[DatDude44]

Just Sign bozak, he's still a smart serviceable 3C as long as you have some guys that can skate on his wing lmao

 

[TkachukNorrisFacts]

Tierney for a 4th or 5th

[MOD]

Tierney for a 3rd or a 2023 2nd

 

[Captain97]

No Danault is elite defensively I just want someone who is decent

Bozak used to be a good skater, has age slowed him down that much?

Done!

I do really believe there would be a deal to be made here around Tierney to Montreal.

He's not needed in Ottawa and there's been speculation he's not someone who wants to be there anyways. Ottawa would likely move him for next to nothing while he's still a very capable 3C who is solid on the PK. Just coming off a very underwhelming year in Ottawa and has become a bit of a whipping boy (myself included). Needs a change in scenery.

Unless Bergevin is on to something big, I'm hoping this is the direction we'll take. I believe Tierney would be a good fit.

 

[MrInvidious]

Done!

I think this is a somewhat rarity on HF but I think both sides love this deal.

I'd be very happy to move Tierney for a 3rd to Montreal. Can someone connect Dorion and Bergevin, please?

Compher is a serviceable 3RW who'll pot 15+15, but at center he's not a good solution other than maybe in a pinch for a couple of games.

If you want him for his versatility though then I wouldn't mind a Lehkonen/Compher swap. Compher produces more but Lehkonen is better at forechecking and is slightly cheaper.

 

[Hitemwith4]

Kerfoot is a cap dump, we already have Byron, no need for another Byron 2.0

No hes not just because MTL doesnt need him doesnt make a cap dump, leafs will keep him

 

[Buffdog]

Copp for a 2nd and a 3rd, or equivalent prospect

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Turris won't get 30 pts but is unwanted and will be cheap(future considerations). Dylan Strome maybe? Also probably cheap. Compher takes up too much cap but for how much of the Avs' bottom 6 has left this summer Sakic would have to have a FA replacement ready first. Then Compher could go for a 3rd or 4th(cap space being the real return).

You can take him now for absolutely nothing, or grab him on waivers when he gets sent to the AHL.

He's not an NHLer anymore.

 

[Archijerej]

No, thank you.

 

[Mike Smith]

What would you offer for Backlund?

 

[Mersss]

No hes not just because MTL doesnt need him doesnt make a cap dump, leafs will keep him

Leafs keep him then

As mentionned above, he's as usefull as Byron and Byron as been through waivers many times last year. Kerfoot is the same. Is he a usefull player on the Leafs? Yah, but no gmis going to actually give anything valuable for Kerfoot, unless a similar salary / contract is coming back

 

[DatDude44]

Bozak used to be a good skater, has age slowed him down that much?

He's not fast or quick anymore, but can get around. He was at his best when he had thomas on his wing driving the play offensively and bozak did a great job finding soft areas for thomas to feed him etc...

 

[BudBundy]

I’ll drive Kyle Turris to the airport and will send the Habs a $20 Tim Hortons gift card as a sweetener. Allons-y. Just take him.

 

[Richard88]

Copp for a 2nd and a 3rd, or equivalent prospect

Copp is worth much more than that.

 

[Richard88]

No, thank you.

What would Colorado have to add in your opinion to make that viable?

 

[Weezeric]

Copp is worth much more than that.

Jets are in a cap bind and Habs have a plethora of wingers. Could be a fit there.

Lehkonen and a 3rd for Copp

 

[TGWL]

Strome would end up costing more than Montreal wants to part with right now. Doesn't make sense, at least not until deadline when it'd be cheaper if they need to add something down the middle.

 

[Steeler23]

What would you offer for Backlund?

Wouldn't make much sense since they would've signed Danault for his asking price if they wanted that kind of contract/player. Letting Danault walk without even making an offer after the season + paying assets to get Backlund would be such a dumb move, I cannot see them go for it.

It's either a clear upgrade on Danault OR a clear 3rd line C at this point IMO.

Lehkonen and a 3rd for Copp

Winnipeg should be able to resign Copp, Pionk, and Stanley without much issue, unless Pionk is asking for crazy money.

If Copp were to be available though I'd imagine that more than half the league would check in on the asking price.

...if Bargain Bin is in on anyone from The 'Peg, it should be Pionk...
