Speculation: Desharnais to NJ or CAR

[Spectra]

I hope DD stays his entire career in MTL. Bergevin too.

 

[tarheelhockey]

1) I see an inconvenient contract.

2) Let's check General Fanager and see who's way under the cap this year.

3) Post "rumor" on Twitter.

4) No profit

Please god

 

[kingdok]

Depriving Therrien of Desharnais must be that ''bold move'' Eklund is talking about

 

[Wandering Maroon]

Id rather keep him than having like a 3rd or something

Are you crazy? Now's the time to dump him. I love the guy but Andrighetto, Reway, cheaper and might be better. Not to mention Gallagher and Plekanec are both in the top 6.

And who play 3C?

If we trade DD for a pick, we need to turn around and trade for a 3C.

If this happens, which I highly doubt...........


We will celebrate in the habs forums

They are very hard to find. Especially cheaper than 3.5M

 

[pezcore]

And who play 3C?

Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Danault - Mitchell

With DLR and McCarron that could play center.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I'd be cool with him retiring today, so sure. Why not.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

The teams like NJ an Carolina or even Arizona don't really need centres. Just because a team has cap space doesn't mean that want to take on meaningless contract.

Montreal needs cap space?....OK trade to a team but Montreal gives a third rounder minimum also.

 

[BatVader]

I'd be cool with him retiring today, so sure. Why not.

I'd be very cool with them both retiring today.

Trading Desharnais and depriving Therrien of him, would be a good move.
According to Bergevin, Danault made Eller expendable so slot Danault in the 3rd C.
As stated above, Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Danault-Mitchell with DLR and McCarron as backup works fine.

Desharnais+juulsen

Josefson+Scarlett

How's this, Montreal fans?

 

[smirob]

How's this, Montreal fans?

I wouldn't do it from habs perspective.

1 year of DD is not worth losing Juulsen over imo.

 

[kingdok]

How's this, Montreal fans?

I'd do Scarlett Johansson for DD and Juulsen, but not Scarlett Josefson.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

I'd do Scarlett Johansson for DD and Juulsen, but not Scarlett Josefson.

Well the Devils don't have Johansson, and the Capitals don't have Scarlett. Soo....

 

[kingdok]

Well the Devils don't have Johansson, and the Capitals don't have Scarlett. Soo....

not sure if...

 

[Hellraiser]

No thanks on the Devils end. With Zacha/Elias, Fiddler and Quenneville battling it out for 3C and 4C I see no reason for the Devils to need DD

4) No profit

5) Get clicks on website during slow summer months by posting rumor involving less-than-popular player from very large hockey market

 

[habsterr]

Desharnais+juulsen

Josefson+Scarlett

No from habs pov

 

[BLONG7]

Little DD has no role on the Habs, and hopefully will hit waivers, and then off to the AHL for the year...no one wants him...injuries to other teams could change that, but he has no value...

 

[DaveG]

Carolina could take him on, but I can't see doing it unless he costs them practically nothing to acquire. For instance a straight across trade for somebody like Joakim Nordstrom, or a swap of second rounders.

No, more like if we're being paid to take him. Say DD + 2nd for Nordstrom. Or DD + 3rd for Brodie Sutter.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Doubt the Devils want Desharnais, he doesn't fill any need for them.

Carolina however, I could see.

I wonder how much money Bergevin gave Therrien so that he'd allow his beloved Desharnais to be traded.

Or maybe it's a package deal, Desharnais + Therrien

 

[RodTheBawd]

Doubt the Devils want Desharnais, he doesn't fill any need for them.

Carolina however, I could see.

I'm intrigued to hear your reasoning for the 2nd comment. I was unaware DD had #1C potential, or the ability to play goalie.

Wait till he scores 3 games in a row, then come back here and propose a trade for him. Then you'll see.
