[Benstheman]

I wonder if a deal around Beaulieu and Bjugstad cold be possible??

What kind of equalizers would be necessary to make that work??

I think Bjugstad is better than Beaulieu but the value's alright both ways. At the same time, I don't think Montreal is in much of a position to be trading away NHL ready dmen at this point without one coming back.

2 big factors in it for Montreal are if they think Markov can play with Weber. A lot of thought that it will be Beaulieu in that position, whether he's ready for top pairing minutes or not.

Secondly, whether or not Sergachev is ready to step right into the NHL, and if he'll be able to play LD.

 

[smirob]

I would do this from a habs POV.

We would need to find cap relief (Buyout Desharnais for example)....

I really don't see Beaulieu as a top pairing LHD at the moment, he hasn't proven enough for me.

Sergachev looks like he could be ready, if he is....it really shakes up the dynamic of our defence, 1 of Beau or Emelin would need to be moved at that point.

 

[Beezeral]

Panthers D is set. they have no interest in moving bjugstad

 

[BatVader]

The OP is not realistic.
Habs first priority is an LD to pair with Weber.
Second is a top 6 LW.
Last, would be a C, but only if we are moving one out, and they must have top 6 potential to replace Plekanec, and Beaulieu won't return that by himself.
Just don't see anything needed in the OP.

 

[IM Clutcm]

I'm not interested in Beaulieu from the Cats' perspective. The left side of the D is set for years.

geesh, no thx from fla

While in the long run it would be a great trade for the Habs with their center depth. It will just create a big hole on their backend for the time being.

Yeah Bjugstad's great and in a vacuum I would do this trade but in reality it's just filling one hole by making another for Montreal.

Watching him on TV a few times, wondered why he was playing RD. A decision that may have allowed him to drop a few spots in the draft.

Hmmm...considering we have Sergachev in the fold, and no-one quite like Bjugstad anywhere in our line-up, or in our prospect pool (I don't think McCarron quite fits the bill), I would still be tempted, even if it makes us a weaker team this year.

That being said, I can't see any reason why FLA would agree to the proposed trade.

Only way I see them moving Bjugstad is if Florida gets Shipachyov as they're rumored to be in on him. If I'm Bergevin and lose out on Shipachyov to Florida, I'm calling Rowe ASAP to try getting Bjugstad

 

[AwesomePanthers]

No, its not possible. No interest in Beaulieu.

or move one of shopachyov or Bjugstad to the wing

 

[Adam Michaels]

Definitely. But if I'm Bergevin, I'm making that call.

 

[Beezeral]

Definitely. But if I'm Bergevin, I'm making that call.

That's fine. But there are two teams in every trade. At this point it would be silly to trade bjugstad for a defenseman.

Edited for truth.

Beaulieu + Galchenyuk + 1st

for

Bjugstad + Crouse + 1st

Bjugstad + Crouse + 1st

Atrocious for Montreal.

 

[TT1]

Beaulieu is our only puck moving top 4 LHD..

he stays unless management thinks Sergachev is ready to play top 4 minutes as an 18 year old

 

[alexhabs26]

Bjugstad + Crouse + 1st

Very bad for montreal and Galchenyuk isn't going anywhere.

 

[izzy]

Makes no sense for Florida.

 

[Moose Head]

Makes no sense for Florida.

Likewise for the habs. Sure I'd love to have your guy, but the habs NHL ready left side kind of sucks right now. They can't afford to deal Beaulieu given Markovs age and Emelins uneven play.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Not bad value wise, but Habs can't afford to lose Beaulieu
