There's a massive variable in this proposed trade that greatly affects the value, which is the cost of each of those long-term deals.

For example, Forsberg at 5M long-term, compared to 10M has a huge swing in value. Without knowing that, how can you say this is fair or not?

 

[domiwroze]

I don't/can't see MTL moving Toffoli

 

[Mrfenn92]

No from Nashville

 

[BLNY]

I think Montreal is good with Toffoli and Romanov, and that's not to say the pieces from Nashville aren't really good. If they're going to inflate their cap it needs to be for up the middle of the ice.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Laughably bad for Nashville.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

If Forsberg and Ekholm are signed long term, then it'd be in Nashville. But I wouldn't give them up just as rentals for that package either.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Value is not great, but also never going to happen because there's zero chance both Forsberg AND Ekholm would skip being a free agent to sign contracts with Montreal.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

This only works if those players don't want to sign long-term in Nashville.

That said, Toffoli has good value, but if Nashville is rebuilding he doesn't carry that much.

 

[AvsCOL]

Holy that's bad.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

You want a strong top six winger and top four d-man locked up with term but won't even leave the pick unprotected? Come on man.

 

[Omar23]

I’m guessing the op is from Montreal

 

[UseTheBoards]

Dear Montreal fans,
Please stop including Joel Armia in your fantasy proposals. He has no value. The only pieces the Habs have with any trade value are draft picks, Romanov, Gallagher, Suzuki, and Caulfield.
Signed,
The rest of us.

Edit - I did forget Toffoli, I thought he had an NTC.

armia has no trade value .? you sir know absolutely nothing about the game of hockey . nothing , zilch, zero. nada,. one absolutely clueless statement

 

[glenbuis]

just what montreal would want to do . ekholm based on the recent defenseman signings would demand 7-8 million on a new deal . since he is past his prime we would be paying for his past and not the future . forsberg would be a nice piece but he'll be looking for 8-9 million to . someone should close this and montreal will keep their younger cheaper pieces .

 

[Soundgarden]

If Ekholm or Forsberg re-signed = Romanov and a 1st then Montreal's getting the other for Toffoli and Armia. No thanks for Nashville.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Montreal Typical [trade proposal]!

Awful for the Preds.

 

[glenbuis]

ekholm no longer equals romanov and a first . a team like nashville that is beginning a rebuild would like that but it's not happening. anyone who thinks it is should give there head a shake . especially when you consider future salary

 

[ItWasJustified]

I wouldn't want to part from Romanov and Ekholm looked like he's past his peak last season.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

Habs : Romanov + Toffoli + first pick 2023 (top 10 protected) + Joel Armia
For
Nashville : Forsberg (signed long terms) + Ekholm (signed long terms)

Good effort on the value. I think it could be fair. On Habs perspective IMO they pass. I do t feel it’s that big of an upgrade to move all that out dude. Just my opinion

 

[HabsAddict]

So we give up on a highly regarded young player like Romanov to pay top dollar to a 31 year old Ekholm. It's not like the rest of the top 6 defenseman are not over 30.

Ummm......lemme think....NOOOOOOOO

that is crap fir nashville has extended players.

 

[Bruce Granville]

armia has no trade value .? you sir know absolutely nothing about the game of hockey . nothing , zilch, zero. nada,. one absolutely clueless statement

Armia was an UFA and nobody wanted to sign him.
So, yes, his value is quite low. Not negative, but obviously not enough to be added in every trade proposal.

Ekholm was our best defenseman last season.

Ekholm looked like our best defender last season and had one of his best all around seasons.
