Speculation: Habs Mega Thread

[Big Empty]

Bad deal for the Nucks.

dafuq??

ur willing to scam urself??

Goaltending is 75% of your team. If you don't have it, then its 100%
That's where the Oilers find themselves. They have improved from the net out but it won't matter if our goalies cant stop a beach ball.
McDrai are in their prime, it's time to make a run for the Cup

 

[LBCANUCK]

would only trade boeser if it meant getting back a good young D

 

[PettersonHughes]

Pretty sure Romanov can play on both sides of the ice? If so then any discussion would have to start with him. Anderson as a replacement RW doesn't really do much for me, would rather have a young RH C come back (think you guys only have Jake Evans who fits that category?). Also no interest in Mailloux, for obvious PR reasons.

Minimum would be Anderson, Romanov and 1st (could expand the trade and include Dickinson in exchange for Jake Evans).

Exactly. A healthy carey price is a #1 goalie and at 6 million that's not even a question to have him. We were gonna give markstrom 7 million dollars.

Lol "minimum". You do know that the Habs are a bottom 5 team right? No chance you get that 1st for Boeser.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Not sure I can see the contract terms and AAV's from those years. It's deeper than just saying "stars were moved in the following seasons". How many years left in each case and how difficult it was to move and what was returned in trades or did they just let them walk.

I know you are familiar with the era I’m talking about and the fiasco that it was. Stop being disingenuous.

 

[IIxGURUxII]

Really? Are there better goaltending options on the market for cheaper or would you rather ride Koskinen at $4.5M?

Yes there is a few that look to be available... And yes I'd rather ride Kosk at 4.5

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Take out Chiarot and I would give a 1st + Broberg + Koskinen for Price @ 6m

I would not even take Price with retention for free. His age, injury history, unclear mental status based on his absence this season, for 6 million for 5 years? No way, thats negative value that the Habs are going to keep. There are so many alternatives that sounds way more appealing than that.
Look at his regular season numbers- hint they're bad and have been mediocre for years.

Gets 10x times worse when you toss in the Oilers best prospect and a 1st

All for Boeser? Im a Canucks fan but that seems like an awful big ask for Boeser. I would think Anderson and Romanov alone would require Boeser + and probably be poorly received by Habs fans.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Either ride out Koskinen. Hit up Dallas, Boston, for one of their extra goalies. Or maybe go after a teams backup who you think could be a solid 1 year stop gap.

Price is a non-starter. Allen would be significantly more appealing despite his weak start.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Josh Anderson, Josh Brook and a 2nd round pick for Brock Boeser?

This package probably holds about the same value as Josh Brook alone. You'd have to add a very good prospect.

 

[Hunter368]

Hard to imagine any GM rolling the dice on Price at this point. Injuries, off ice issues and just meh results for years and huge contract when cap hit & salaries are more impactful then ever…….he hasn’t put up league average sv % since about 2016-17 (outside 2018). The rolling the dice I referred to is small sample size when he’s actually been good (last playoffs as an example where he carried a bubble team to the finals, but it’s a small sample size). Huge risk taking him on, just don’t see anyone doing it, especially considering it’s not a one year risk/gamble, it’s a multi year gamble. I see him playing few more years for the Habs and maybe even retiring a Hab.

A GM could gamble on him if the Habs retain to get his cap hit down to 6 million but I doubt the Habs retain that many years, if he had less term maybe.

I could see the Oilers maybe kicking the tires on Allen.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Lol "minimum". You do know that the Habs are a bottom 5 team right? No chance you get that 1st for Boeser.

Lol well you do know how bargaining works right? I can't set my bar too low otherwise it'd just be selling low on a guy who's been an all-star before and is still young but just is having a bad season so far.

What would be your best offer?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Price at $6 million is definitely worth a few good assets but I have zero interest personally in trading Broberg and our 1st for him.

Fair enough, and I'm not trying to convince you one way or the other. Just can't help feeling that a team on the precipice of contending, who's window is open for the next four years, and who's weakness is goaltending, wouldn't consider the most talented goalie (arguably) of their generation.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Monahan for toffoli

 

[Thebisonking]

Chiarot to Edmonton, what would it cost?

i woudlnt even trade our 1st alone for Boeser....

 

[Habs10025]

So we’ve all heard rumours of Van looking to potentially change up their locker room.

To MTL —-> Brock Boeser

To VAN —-> Josh Anderson

Does this trade make sense for either team? Which side adds? If any

Montreal are not trading for Boeser.

minimum at that ? this is insane will keep anderson romanov and our first . minimum lol your out to lunch

nothing close to your proposal what is his qualifying offer set at ? that alone is enough reason to stay away

 

[innitfam]

Canucks need an RD if Boeser or Miller are getting moved.

Canucks decline.

ANderson+ for Miller might work

 

[Jumptheshark]

No!
Couldn't care less about the 1st rounder or Koskinen.

Broberg is okay but we have 3 Brobergs in Harris, Struble, Norlinder.

Price at 6 mill is gold.

You want price at 6 million especially with him back on track?
We need something solid or tangible, not magic beans.

The 1st rounder is useless Habs can't draft.
Broberg is redundant, oh and Habs can't develop.
Koskinen is useless.

Price at 6 mill can be had for a roster player and a 1st pick because they obviously going to ask for it.

Price at 6 is not a steal.
