Proposal: Ducks - Habs

[GhostOfWildWing]

While I fully expect Ducks end up signing their pair of Swedish RFAs, just for discussion:

MaxPac
Galchenyuk

for

Lindholm
Rakell


Ducks gain a true first line FW who (other than last year) plays with some physicality and obv has a knack for scoring. If the change of scenery does him well, him-Getz-Perry could easily be one of the top lines in the NHL. He's also on a bargain contract for a few more seasons.

Chucky adds a true #1 Potential C to the Ducks, who don't currently have that in the pipeline IMO for when Getz starts to slow down.

Lindholm is a huge loss, but the D still has solid depth on the left side with Fowler and Theodore for the Top4.


Montreal, definitely downgrades up front, but hope Radulov replaces a lot of MaxPac's offense while making their D core one of the better units; both pieces added are young and work for the future. Rakell isn't Galchenyuk, but he can def fill a 2nd line role and in the East, I feel he will only continue to improve and have room for his creativity.

[Ducks in a row]

With Lindholm gone.

Fowler - Manson
Despres - Vatanen
Theodore - Bieksa
Stoner
Holzer

That is not a blueline would be comfortable with at all. We are not weakening our blueline by trading Lindholm. Not interested in this at all.

 

[Legend123]

Horrible for the habs, no thx

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Lindholm going nowhere

 

[Pierre Lebrun]

Not good for either team.

Pacioretty for Ritchie + Fowler. Done.

 

[Legend123]

Not good for either team.

Pacioretty for Ritchie + Fowler. Done.

add in Rackell and we might consider it

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

not a fan of either team but like all 4 players involved.

my gut call says this doesnt work for a variety of reasons.

it might work if tweaked

im guessing anaheim likes it better if montreal eats a bit of contract. perhaps the russian kid dman is thrown in instead of galchenyuk... that might address the dollar issues

if it becomes lindholm and a kid forward like nick ritchie
for maxpac and the russian kid dman with montreal eating some salary...

montreal gets a rebuilding piece with a top pair dman to protect price with... also gets a mean pf theyve been after for years now

anaheim gets an immediate updrade for their top 6 scoring... at an affordable cost for their buget

i dont know... not a fan of either team but i see a possibility a trade might get worked out here

 

[Shootertooter]

Horrible for the habs, no thx

I have to agree here, overpayment by Montreal.

You know a Montreal fan did not make this proposal.

Perhaps it can be evened out by adding DD and Emelin in somewhere....just kidding.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Galchenyuk is a non starter for the simple fact that we have absolutly nobody to take his place as a Center.

One can only hope

Galchenyuk is not moving anywhere. The habs havent had a true #1 C with that much size in the last 30 years or so. He is going absolutely no where. If we wanted to get younger Dmen, we coukd have dealt Subban for them.
Oh and yeah sergechev is a non starter too.

 

[CanadienShark]

Can't see this working for either side.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

no thanks for the ducks, cannot trade lindholm end of story

 

[rhinoshawarma]

Let's trade all the players the teams don't want to move! Without considering needs!

Ya!

 

[Habsfan2731]

Not interested whatsoever from Montreal. I'd absolutely LOVE Lindholm in Montreal but the Ducks have no reason to move him & we can't move essentially our entire offense for him.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Galchenyuk > Lindholm
Pacioretty >> Rakkel

So easy no from habs

 

[lindholmie]

Galchenyuk > Lindholm

lol

 

[Legend123]

lol

its actually true. You'll see how true it is this season

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

its actually true. You'll see how true it is this season

Two totally different positions with different responsibilities. Weber vs Lindholm would be better comparison

 

[Legend123]

Two totally different positions with different responsibilities. Weber vs Lindholm would be better comparison

the better player now is weber.
down the line its lindholm

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Two totally different positions with different responsibilities. Weber vs Lindholm would be better comparison

Weber has nothing to do with this trade proposal

 

[Kalv]

In a vacuum that`s not a bad offer, there are certainly things to like. But yes, would sting us just too much to do this right now i think.

 

[Treb]

Radulov - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lehkonen - DD - Shaw
Carr - Mitchell - Andrighetto
Byron - Danault - Flynn
Matteau

Let's trade 2/3 of our 1st line!!!

 

[Hurricane Hugo]

As a Ducks fan I would do this pretty easily. I love Lindholm but this offer is too good to walk away from. Which means the Habs would be dumb to do it.

 

[Drew4u]

No thanks. The habs are in a win now mode, they arent trading away their offence for lindholm. Doesnt make any sence for the habs.
