Value of: How can Nashville snag Suzuki from Montreal?

[Coffee]

At the draft, if Montreal has a center they like, what would they like from Nashville for Nick Suzuki?

Listen, I’ve talked to Montreal fans and they said he’s as close to untouchable as you can get; however, if a center is available he may be moved at a overprice.


Let’s have some fun here and come up with creative trades.


Cheers guys, let’s keep it classy here.

There's not a single pieve on the Preds roster that makes sense for the Habs.

we're not moving our captain that we just locked up on a good deal

If the deal makes sense, it will happen.

Not sure why you guys are acting like Predators don’t have assets.

But anwyay, that’s cool. I understand your perspective

 

[Nico Hischier]

Nothing that would make sense for either team

Saros plus Novak

Or

Josi for Suzuki plus something

That’s what I think his value would be somewhere at

Saros and Josi don't make sense to a rebuilding team as they will be put of their prime while we start contending.

Hence why Preds don't hold any assets that would make them trade Suzuki.

The only asset Preds havs Habs would be interested in is Askarov... And he's far from being worth Suzuki

I don't see any way even the reasonable Habs fans would consider this.

The only relevant asset to Habs rebuild tue Preds own is Askarov. Habs would trade other prospects for him like Beck, Roy, Farrell, but not Suzuki

I didn’t bring up Nashville but they did say he could be moved for a overpay if Habs select a center.

and I’m paraphrasing “not looking to move him, but can be moved for a good overpay if we select center at 5”

Ah, I'll take your word for it. He'd be a great piece and fit within our build timeline, but I don't think it's the timing for the Preds to start overpaying in assets and I'm also not sure he's the player I'd do it for if it were.

 

[Neutrinos]

It wouldn't be hard, just need to find a dealership...

 

[lanceuppercut75]

However small the chance is, it would be somewhat bigger (by comparison) if Montreal drafts Carlsson or Smith.

 

[randywoodsghost]

Nashville doesn’t have the assets to pry the 70th leading scorer out of Montreal?

Okay then…

 

[Michoulicious]

Suzuki for Josi.

They could sign ownership of the team to whoever owns the Habs. They'd probably even help Suzuki pack with that offer.

/Nobody said anything about the offer/asset being realistic

Maybe Saros and your first?

 

[Junohockeyfan]

The only way i see this happening, is if Montreal trades for PLD (and gets him for less than market value) and signs him longterm at a similar caphit as Suzuki, and then trades Suzuki for a position of need.

And that's really unlikely to happen. Like 0.1 % chance.

Suzuki / Caufield are inseparable.

As an outside fan I have to say there’s approximately zero chance of this happening.

True top line centers are by far the most value commodities in the NHL and Suzuki is locked up longterm.

Maybe if the Habs get a great center in this draft, and if Beck, Dach, PLD (if they get him) etc really started to cook, and if they had absolutely nothing going at goalie, then Askarov could eventually interest them.

Askarov would likely only tempt them if his future development went great, but if that happens, I’m not sure that Nashville would make him available. The other thing teams don’t tend to ever trade is their stud goalie of the future.


Like his stashe btw.

Montreal fans say they are getting PLD “for free” so might as well trade Suzuki now since Montreal is not competing for the playoffs next year.

Just trying to help the OP find any sort of a plausible way that Montreal would trade Suzuki. And there is nothing that makes sense.

Suzuki and his career best 66 points hasn’t established that yet.

Nashville needs to stay the course and keep acquiring good pieces instead of being buyers right now. We're better off using the 1-3 really good pieces it'd take to get Suzuki than we would be with Suzuki and what we have now. When we have a good team again would be the time to use our capital to get a big piece.

That is probably accurate.

That is certainly inaccurate, but otherwise totally expected considering post history.

 

[Soundgarden]

Suzuki for Josi.

Lol, Suzuki only had 7 more points this year in 15 more games.
