Value of: 5th OVR pick from NAS (to MON)

[ole ole]

And this is the real point. No team will ever give up a blue chipper for supporting players, now matter how much you offer them. If they see someone at 5 who will be a cornerstone of their franchise, you can throw Hage, Mailloux, Fowler and both firsts and it might not move the needle. Obviously that's different if they don't see the options at 5 being foundational pieces.

Habs hopefully don't offer Hage, Mailloux, Fowler and both firsts.
Nope our GM isnt that stupid

Not trading Hage or fowler

we shouldn’t be packaging picks and prospects yet . just because we made the playoffs last year doesn’t mean will be regulars there yet . we had no injuries last year ( compared to other recent years ) and could realistically take a step back next year . take the next 12-24 months to see what we have with all these prospects and unload matheson and laine (+1 more with max retention at the deadline ). patience .

Well, the OP isn't really doing that. He's packaging futures to get a better future.

Way too risky for MTL, being that this is a weak draft, and Desnoyers or whoever else is there at 5 is probably equivalent to a 10-12th ranked prospect in a typical year.

This has the potential to turn out very badly for MTL. Fowler has mid-high end #1 potential, there’s a pretty decent chance that whoever they take at 16 ends up as good or better than whoever they could get at 5th, and it’s the same thing with Hage.

This isn’t the kind of year to make a deal like this. Pass.

i get what your putting down . just seems like the timing isn’t right vs the cost .

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

16th oa + 17th oa + Michael Hage is a legit offer that’d give Nashville a tough decision

It's a ridiculous over payment. Hage is too much. 17th + 2nd + prospect is reasonable.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

We're not trading out of the top 5, we already have three 1sts and 2 high seconds. We need blue chip prospects or young great talent.

And you don't know what you are talking about. Both Fowler and hage are blue chip prospects.

Exactly. There is nothing at 5 worth trading Hage for even.

I'd rather have Hagens.

 

[MoneyManny]

Really tired of Habs fans offering the moon for French sounding names. I don't care about Desnoyers.

Nashville might have screwed up big time by trading Askarov for peanuts, doesn't mean we should do the same with Fowler.

For the 5th overall pick it is not reasonable.

We got a 1st and a recent 1st for a prospect that requested a trade, hardly peanuts.

A late 1st for a blue chip prospect. I don't like the return at all.

For one that won't play for you it's not bad.
