Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

Matinpalo sure looked great on that first Dallas goal

He didn’t look great, no. Brannstrom probably would’ve have fallen down at the blue line after being nudged and they would have scored anyway, though.

We’ve seen what he is. It’s no good.

Two other teams have agreed since he left here.

pick up Branny

 

[GCK]

Considering we have insanely awful depth at both LD and RD, and with Brannstrom being able/willing to play on either side, picking him up should be an easy decision.

Having said this, we'll pass on him to play the likes of Matinpalo, Guenette, etc... for some reason.

Mantipalo has already shown to be much better.

Not trading for Carrier was such a huge miss. Our defense would be set with him

Was he shopped or did he get the Ryan O’Reilly treatment?

if you didn't know and arent checking in on what was a last place team on their players to see who is avaliable you aren't doing your job as the GM

I would have liked Carrier, but also would have had to send out a decent salary to fit him in.

No cap space and no expendable young RD to acquire him.

Habs were uniquely positioned with a boat load of surplus young defensemen to take advantage of Barry Trotz's idiocy in trading Carrier 28 games after signing him to a 3 year deal.

Hughes and Gorton have done an incredible job for Montreal. Super annoying.

How were we fitting his 3.75 in?

And again I ask was Trotz giving Carrier the Ryan O’Reilly treatment ?

Tell Perron to take the rest of the year to rehab and LTIR him. It wouldn’t be hard to “game” the system with a 37 year old that has a back injury.

Staios would never do that because he wants to treat players a certain way, but if it was Vegas, that’s what they would’ve done.

With that said I’d rather get Schenn. We need someone who can clear a crease on the PK.

I also doubt they want anyone with term though. Yakemchuk is probably pencilled in next year and they’ll get a 1-year UFA for depth.

So, magically disappear Perron. Unfortunately the team lives in the real world, and you can't force a player to fake an injury once healthy. Maybe if Perron was having surgery we could have tried that, but it isn't really something you can whip together before the halfway point of the year when a player unexpectedly hits the trade market.

With Zub back, and Matinpalo playing pretty well, I'm happy with our D right now tbh, We need help up front more than on D with Perron and Amadio out.
