Proposal: Habs and Ducks deadline deal

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

And what has Mantha done exactly?

Oh yeah, nothing. He's scoring at a LOWER rate than Drouin, And Habs fan keep being told Drouin is a cap dump. Mantha isn't good.

Duh yeah, Drouin playing on a stacked Habs team while Mantha is playing on the worst scoring team in the past 5 to 6 years.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Not to mention the idea of a top pairing of lindholm- drysdale is a pretty damn good idea

just out of curiosity, do you think Lindholm extends with the Ducks after next year, or does he try to go to a contender as a UFA ? I feel like the ducks are at the beginning of their rebuild even though Zegras Drysdale is a nice base to build on.

Wow man Drouin 21 points in 38 games, Mantha 21 points in 42 games. Yeah Drouin is badly outpacing Mantha. Sure if we're going by this Mantha 38 points in 43 games in 2019/2020 pretty much a point per game and yet he missed 28 games due to injurie's.

Mantha plays most with larkin and Fabbri, drouin with suzuki and anderson.

I'd rank those teammates as

Larkin
Suzuki
Anderson
Fabbri

both are playing with Similar quality teammates, but Mantha plays 2 mins more a night and gets paid more and produces less.

On a stacked Habs team? If the team was staked, we'd be a cup contender, Habs aren't. TB is Stacked, BOS is Stacked, LVS is staked, TOR is stacked. Habs aren't.

Get real for a 2nd, Mantha is terrible, If he was THAT good, he'd still be scoring at a 50-60pts pace. not 40

The Ducks will have endless cap space next season and should be fully intent on keeping Lindholm. Haven't heard or read anything regarding his intentions but he's definitely taken to the SoCal lifestyle. If the money is there and the team starts showing positive signs of improvement (already seeing this with some of the young kids breaking in), I don't see why he wouldn't want to stay.

Really want to see a Lindholm - Drysdale top pairing in the near future.

 

[McJedi]

Works salary cap wise... Not sure I'd do it but I'd consider it. Habs best option left to make a deal that provides value for this year and next.

Would Ducks fans consider this?

- Lindholm ($5.2M with one year left after this year)
- Getzlaf (50% retention = $4.125M)
for
- 2021 1st (top 3 protection)
- Harris (Grade B+ prospect on D)
- Lehkonen (RFA controlled)
- Armia (Pending UFA)

* Getzlaf waives to join Perry, Price, Weber, Staal and the kids
* Lindholm broke his wrist on Feb 27th and was out for 6 weeks. Scheduled to be back mid April ish?

Yet another Drouin for Girard+ type proposal. This is a recurring thing. When will certain Habs fans realize other teams don’t want your late 20s bottom line players and B level prospects at the cost of their better players.

If it doesn’t hurt both teams, it’s not a realistic trade proposal.

Such a common theme with Habs proposals. Always moving out a quantity of minor pieces with little value to acquire better players of greater value. So many video game proposals that don’t work in reality for the other team.

Mantha: 2.23 points per minute over career
Drouin: 2.20 points per minute over career

but MANTHA is so much better though ... big YIKES

So. Drouin is outpacing Mantha, playing on a bubble playoff team. Drouin is a cap dump, yet Mantha is an outstanding player who desrves a top prospec + 1 st pick? Ok buddy, get out of here bfore you dig your hole even deeper.

(personal opinion only from someone 2500 miles away from any local to the Ducks media...). I think he sticks around. From a personal standpoint (iirc) the Ducks are at/near the end of some big contracts so there should be money available to really pay him. Professionally, while the elite talent isn't there at the moment, there are a lot of really young/needs some more NHL level experience players who are fairly decent (or have shown flashes of such talent). I wouldn't put the team at the start of their rebuild but more midway through it & aaaalllmost ready (another 1-2 years) to slam things into gear & compete again.

Harris and B level prospect do not belong in the same sentence tho.

Yes. Mete is also really valuable. I know how you guys rate your players. They are all elite.

I think he stays personally , well have plenty of money to pay him. I think we have a lot of solid pieces.... likely adding more in this draft. I think getting value off Manson/Rakell is big for the rebuild. We’re going to have money to be active in free agency soon.... so we can find those filler pieces hopefully and jump back into the playoff picture in 2 years

personally I think he should be the next captain

Hope for you Grew up seeing Selanne and Kariya leading the Ducks, then Getzlaf andPerry when I was in highschool, kind of nostalgic (I'll always miss the Mighty before the Ducks)

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I really question if this was in good faith, particularly considering who the OP is. Feels like bait with the ultimate goal of pumping Habs’ assets and dumping on the other team’s.

99.9% of the proposals can be criticized like this on HF boards. But you think it's just a Habs thing. Moving on

 

[Ishad]

Glad to see we’ve moved in from how bad this proposal is to a peeing match between an uninvolved team.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Mantha: 2.23 points per minute over career
Drouin: 2.20 points per minute over career

No one ever said that Mantha was so much better, But Drouin has been playing on much better teams then what Mantha has had in Detroit. Yet Drouins 2 best seasons he only has 5 more points then Mantha on the lowest scoring team in the past 5 to 6 years.

This is not a Wings/Habs proposal.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I will say lindholm isn’t part of that discussion.

maybe getzlaf... would be kinda neat to se Getz and perry reunited

 

[sandysan]

Looks like you have all the secondary pieces. Now all you need to do is add the core piece to give the ducks a reason to consider it.

have you met my friend jonathan drouin ?

 

[MCB]

The trash to end all trashes.

One trash to rule them all, one trash to find them, One trash to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Oh it's a fun TDL already

 

[gunnergunther]

This offer is trashed

It’s not officially trade deadline until the “it’s happening” gif is posted
