Ryder+Halak+ 2nd

On the real its prolly going to take something you wont want to give up.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Galchenyuk+


No reason for the Avs to do it otherwise.

What do you think it would take? Duchene is worth as much as Galchenyuk at least.
I bet it's going to be Beaulieu+Scherbak+2nd or something along those lines yet again.

 

[Bleeker]

As a Habs fan i'd be tempted to do Galchenyuk straight up for Duchene.

The thing is, Duchene is the better player but he'll hit UFA in 3 years.
Galchenyuk could be under control for 9 seasons(including this one) if he re-sign a long term contract this summer.

So in the end we're better with Galchenuyk who can still develop into a legit first C. (some say he's already there)

 

[Richiebottles]

We will keep galchenyuk.

It would be something around Pacioretty,

 

[stpn47]

Avs have no motivation to trade Duchene. I'd want something that would cripple Montreal's future, like Sergachev + Scherbak + Juulsen + unprotected first.

 

[CB Joe]

Habs Coach/GM Roy doesn't like Duchene.

 

[strictlyrandy]

The only player I'd have been willing to accept for Duchene was Subban.

You also have to consider what Duchene means to the fans as well. Dude grew up an Avs fan. He's a money maker to the franchise as well. Trading him wouldn't accomplish anything.

Besides, I don't think he'd want to play for Roy again given that he's most likely going to be the head coach in Montreal next year.

Soooo many things wrong here

It would take a major collapse for Bergerin to fire Therrien who is doing a good job (171-102-30 since he joined)

lol would prefer holding onto both sergs and juulsen.
*walks away amazed*

Our GM isn't Roy....

there's a package in there thats fair. not all of those pieces, but some of them.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'd probably prefer Paccioretty over Galchenyuk, we need wing depth and Patches is a damn good winger. That or Sergachev+. However I can't see Duchene getting traded that's for sure.

And without Duchene the centre depth is ugly.


Galchenyuk has to be on the table or don't bother really. No picks, no Plekanec, no Beaulieu, no prospects aside from Sergachev.

 

[strictlyrandy]

What's wrong?

That the Habs have nothing of interest to the Avs to warrant them trading Duchene? That's factual.

Avs need more top 6. Not less. Trading one of their only top 6 players for another top 6 player that isn't an upgrade is a lateral move at best.

Or are you shaking your head at the very obvious sarcastic remark about Roy?

That's right, give your head a shake. You completely miss the point and jokes yet again go far over your head.

So besides an actual tongue in cheek remark, what did I say that was "sooooo wrong"?

 

[strictlyrandy]

yet...

Haha... if Roy does take over the Habs, they'll just be the gift that keeps on giving

It wouldn't be THAT bad, we have Jost coming up, and we could use Grigo and Soda as centers, but obviously that's a big risk. Now I wouldn't trade Duchene for Patches, or at all for the most part, but the three players I'd want for him would be Patches, Galch, or Sergachev+.

 

[yianik]

Pacioretty plus ? for Duchene. If you don't like Patches as the main piece back fine.

 

[BatVader]

Duchene is one of my favourite players. I'd love him in Montreal.
Just don't think there's a trade to be made unless Bergevin decides to blow it up, which is very highly unlikely.
Habs best chance at Duchene was prior to the last draft when the Avs were considering options and Montreal had a top 10 pick to trade.

 

[Uncle Gary]

Love Duchene, however moving Galchenyuk for him seems like a lateral move for both teams.

 

[AHShadow]

Would you guys do something like

Patches + DD for Duchene + Grigorenko
or
Patches + Plek for Duchene + Grigorenko + Cap Dump? Or we retain 2 mil on Plek

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

No interest.

Duchene > Patches in value. Younger, plays C.
Grigorenko > DD or Plekanec in terms of value to the Avs. Cheaper, younger, on a prove it 1 year contract.

Our only cap dump is Iginla, and he's not waiving.
