CBC Hot Stove: Habs looking for top 4 D

[Ducks Nation*]

Doubt Anaheim is trading Fowler at the moment, he has looked like Duncan Keith thus far with Randy back.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Probably 1st and Prospect (Juulsen)

or

Beaulieu + Carr/Hudon

If we are trading for a top 4 D we might as well trade Beauleu to get him as we won't be able to protect Beau in the expansion draft anymore (assuming the new guy isn't a rental).

Roll with:

new guy - Weber
Markov - Petry
Emelin - Pateryn

for the rest of the season. Protect new guy + Weber + Petry. Either re-sign Markov for much cheaper and trade Emelin to a team looking to replace a guy the lost to LV or let Markov walk and keep Emelin. Either way bring in Serg next year to replace whoever left.

Beaulieu + for Fowler may be a decent baseline for the Ducks as Beau is on a really cap friendly deal this year and he is still a promising young D, he's just not ready for prime time with Weber (if he'll ever be ready).

 

[Ducks in a row]

Fowler has been so good to start for us will cost a lot to get him.

Nope not a decent baseline at all we don't want defenseman.

 

[The Great Weal]

Isles will have at least one available not named Leddy or hamomic

Calvin De Haan?

 

[Prairie Habs]

I don't see anything intriguing from mtl that's a realistic return for brodin. Not a knock on mtl. Couple of reasons for that. First, he's looking better under boudreu and stevens (small sample granted). Most wild fans felt he was holding back or being held back under yeo. He's a skilled and smart player so we're hopeful he can make some strides from good to great. Second we're still in a tough spot for expansion if we trade him. We'll have to expose a good dman or only protect 4 forwards. So the forward coming back would have to be a great fit for it to make sense

That's okay, Weber needs PMD to play with anyway, I disagree that Brodin would be an ideal fit.

 

[Exit Dose]

Fowler isn't on the market at the moment. Not that our two teams are a good fit at the moment. Maybe, down the road, something will change.

 

[BHD]

Habs don't have much to give up unless they are willing to trade prospects or top picks.

Most contending teams - or teams who see themselves as contenders - end up trading picks or top prospects. So...

 

[Positive Vibes]

Fowler for Gallagher ?

easy pass

 

[57special]

Scandella would be the obvious fit for MTL. VG defensively with offensive upside(hard point shot) and a bit of nasty to his game. 26, and signed for 4(?) more years. He and Weber would be a beastly duo.

He's an NDG boy and Sergio Momesso's nephew.

Every time this is discussed, however, it seems that MTL doesn't want to give anything of value up. It's stuff like Andrighetto/Scherbak and a 3rd. Gets tiresome.

I think that Boston,BUF, and Detroit, amongst many others, are more likely to offer something of value in return for a top 4 Dman. Wild want young, talented forwards or forward prospects.

what do you think a realistic offer from the habs would be for Scandella?

Mccarron interesting but I don't know what a good add would be to that as him alone isn't close to Scandella in value.

 

[Drydenwasthebest]

No thanks.

All Habs fans agree with you on this one! The Habs would easily say "no thanks". Good to see we agree.

Ohhh sassy... Doubt any ducks fans would do that either. No need to feel slighted.

 

[CH25]

Fowler would be a nice pick up. I don't know what Anaheim's needs are.

Fowler isn't on the market anymore.

Really, do we need a McCarron with Tuch, Ek, and Greenway in our system? Only thing we really need is a prospect with top line upside. I don't see that in McCarron.

 

[JeffForsberg21]

Fowler for Gallagher ?

Gallagher is the heart and soul of the team. Easy pass from Mtl position.

 

[Nuckles]

Edler.

Benning won't move him because he's delusional (thinks we can be a playoff team).

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Fowler for Gallagher ?

This is bad for the habs, real bad

 

[Frank Drebin]

Hopefully Habs offer something worth a teal to trade and not pennies for a dollar like they are prone to

still mad about the Petry trade or what

 

[MMC]

If Fowler is going to Montreal it better be for Patches or extended Radulov.

 

[CanadienShark]

Justin Braun

He plays the right side... Habs need a LHD.

And the point is moot since Braun is 100% not for sale.

 

[Legend123]

If Fowler is going to Montreal it better be for Patches or extended Radulov.

both worth more than Fowler. Remember, one hot streak doesnt represent the player.

 

[Ainec]

Too bad Markov has a NTC

 

[Ducks Nation*]

both worth more than Fowler. Remember, one hot streak doesnt represent the player.

Considering his best year was when RC was here, and now he is playing like a #1D again since he has been back, maybe it does.
