Bad reputation player always have something to prove when they join a new team. I have no doubt he will be a fan favorite in no time.
Why should the Habs acquire Evander Kane?

really? I would pull the trigger on Eller/Tinordi/2nd for Kane
then sign S. Koivu for 1 year to replace Eller.

And in the process build a team with the smallest center line in the history
of the NHL....DD-Plekanec-Koivu-Briere. Soft is the right word here.....very very soft.
This. But somehow, he stays......cause nobody wants him (no value).
You're, right wing sucks right now....but center line also and taking out Plek to put Galchenyuk seems like an improvement and it is....offensively ONLY....it's a huge downgrade defensively. So we're getting and losing some here.
Replacing Eller by Galchenyuk would be the same.....and a downgrade in size.
But replacing DD by Galchenyuk, i only see upgrades here.
Just a quick question...with your line-up:
MTL leads the Pens 2 to 1 and there's 2 minutes left in the game and the Pens will
throw their big guns out there and take their goalie out for a 6th man.....
Which 2 lines will you send to stop them in this 2 minutes?
If you have trouble finding those 2 lines, it's mainly cause we just can't have Desharnais and Galchenyuk at center on the top 9 at the same time.
People are making funny offers here.
DD probably not going to cut it. People offering Emelin, Pateryn and so on. Not going to happen. Not even in NHL 14.
Either Beaulieu or Tinordi are going to go in a trade this offseason.
We have surplus D-Men. Gorges isn't going to go, and wouldn't get us much. Weaver isn't going to go, wouldn't get us much. Emelin would not fetch much either.
Our only significant trade assets on D are Markov (teams have signed players before only to deal them right away) although I don't think this will happen. P.K. Subban (which would might put Bergevins life in danger) Beaulieu and Tinordi.
Nobody really pays much for a defensive d-man. People want Wisnewskis and Streits and Souray's. PAteryn certainly is not that.

I'd love Kane. I just don't see the point in trading our only other goal scorer in the process.
Kane has never put up Max's numbers. So ya, he could add an element of physicality, but he might also never put up as many goals/points. There's also an attitude question with a possibility of him not working out here. We don't have that issue with Max. So I don't see the point.
Point is to add to us, not sidestep or possibly even regress.
So I'd be willing to move some assets for him, just not Max.
Not sure I'd give that much for him. He's got an attitude issue and has under performed. I don't think we have to give two NHL ready players and a pick.
I'd be upset letting go Eller without really exploring his higher potential. That being said, if we're not planning on giving him a shot at a higher role next year, might as well shop him around.

I'd be quite happy to pick up Evander Kane.
The price would likely be quite expensive, but I'd pay that premium for an elite power forward that would give us another scoring threat and is still pretty young and signed for 4 more years.

Realistic offer for Kane.
Gallagher + Tinordi + Draft Pick
For Kane plus.
-----------------------------------
Galchenyuk
For Kane plus plus.
-----------------------------------
Or trade the farm option
Andrighetto, Crisp, De la Rose, Beaulieu, Tinordi, Tokarski (not all together obviously but certainly atleast two of them)
Kane is a guy that you are going to have to pay for.

Id be excited if we got him of corse, but, I am not gonna get excited or angry one way or the other until it happens, if it ever does which, unlikely

You have to wonder how much the jets trust their goaltending, and how much they value tokarski.
Not saying tokarski would be a primary piece, but if the jets value him, he could be a peice the habs can use to push a potential deal from "maybe" to "done deal"

I thought everybody agreed after the McDonagh incident not to trade anymore of Timmins' blueline boys, before they matured
I hope they don't trade Gallagher. He is a heart and soul player. You don't trade those types. I would rather they trade Patches for him than Gallagher. You give up some goal production for intensity and more physical play. Kane's game is better suited for the playoffs.

I don't think Winnipeg moves Kane without a top 6 player coming back.
Your two first ones are not far off, though I doubt Winnipeg gives much more than Kane for Galchenyuk. Galchenyuk has more upside and is cheaper but Kane is established and more proven...maybe a 2nd or a decent prospect at best.
We shoulda just got Bobby Ryan
Ryan isn't a guy you win with IMHO. The fact that people that know him left him off team USA tells you a lot about him. Plus he will be a UFA in 12 months and has always gone for the big money. I wouldn't trade 3 assets for him for sure...
I agree, trading Tinordi or Beaulieu unless you are getting an overpayment, makes no sense. Look at this UFA crop and see how hard it is to get a top 4 d-man, there are like 2 maybe 3 available for 15-20 potential buyers.
I love Gallagher, but guys like him are easier to replace than 30-40 goal scorers.
You'd have to argue pretty hard to call that the best 2nd line in hockey. Pretty huge exaggeration. Gallagher is a solid player but he has never scored 20 goals and Galchenyuk's career high is 31 points and he hasn't played center in 3 years.

Which one do we value more? With the Markov signing it makes me believe that it will be Beaulieu, he's a puck moving D that needs to play in the NHL, I would love for us to keep him but it appears that Bergevin has other ideas. We desperately need scoring and I would welcome Evander Kane in a Habs jersey, make it happen.
