Name me one team who could target both sedins in a time wise matter with their age and contract. There is none. Habs are the perfect fit for them, plus they have the ressources to make it happen. Count on the twins to waive their NTC to get a cup here, it's a no brainer for em. With Gallagher they'd be absolute dynamite.
Let's not forget edler, who will solidify our defence squat for years to come, also a great option to take markov's LD spot when he retires.
On Montréal perspective, it's a win now stand. Top 3 1-2 punch in the east, best D and best goalie in the league. What's not to love?
The idea is finding a good value for both side to make it happen.
Let's say Van cuts 50% on the twins. Difference is 1M more then plekanec ... who prefers Plex to both sedins?? Beaulieu for edler is 4more million cap hit, so we need more cap dump.
Could there be a way to get this done without giving patch away?
Something like Plekanec, Beaulieu, 1st, second and mccarron/julseen? B prospect?Van would have to take desharnais as a cap dump, then trade away Plex as a rental. How is the value for nucks fans?
Because as a habs fan.... i'd be stoked af.
