Value of: How can Nashville snag Suzuki from Montreal?

[sansabri]

isnt matt duchene a habs fans

oh, you just asked for that pic of Duchene with all his Avs stuff

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Connor McDavid is a Habs fan.

 

[Coffees]

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.

Thank you for that

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

Oh, here’s one of the “PLD for free” crew lol.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Thank you for that

A more plausible scenario has Suzuki getting hammered at La Cage, and stumbles to the Bell Center then relieves himself on Jean Beliveau's statue (and is caught on camera).

The fallout results in the Habs trading Suzuki to Nashville...

 

[Mrfenn92]

Habs aren’t trading their recently extended captain

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Oh, here’s one of the “PLD for free” crew lol.

I'm part of the PLD not a need crew. (aka Habs are better off being patient crew).

Part of the more sensible group of Habs fans that knows now is not the time to trade for PLD.

I know this might be difficult for you, considering location and all, but please find else something to do, since your grasp of hockey is, and had always been, definitely limited.

you're right. looks like a Habs fan

 

[Kurrilino]

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

Why don't you step forward and name those assets?

It would make this thread way easier

It is if the Habs management envision PLD being part of their future, they should try and make a play for him. I am not convinced PLD takes another low AAV 1-year contract to help save the Habs some assets.

You are like a broken record. Refusing to listen.

Habs management have Suzuki/Dach and with Dach's breakout offensive season, have no reason to trade for PLD now. They are better off seeing what they have in Dach. I mean, they traded Romanov and a pick to get Dach. And they made that trade when there were rumors of PLD being available.

Habs have made their decision and have zero reason to trade for PLD. The smart move is to be patient and evaluate the need in a year's time.

On top of that, they may draft a bluechip C at 5OA which would all but eliminate PLD as a Hab (unless its as a UFA at a discount. Unlikely).

What part of that is hard to understand?

I expressed my last post as “if the Habs management envision PLD being part of their future”. It’s not what I believe the Habs should do.

I actually don’t disagree with your position at all.

If the Habs envisage PLD being part of their future, the envisaging would take place next offseason.

Right now, the Habs envisage Dach as part of their longterm future and they signed him to a team friendly contract (3 more years at 3.3MAAV and still a RFA at the end of it). I don't think PLD is in the picture at all.

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

No to both of those. Those pieces obviously have value, but they don’t make sense for a rebuilding team like MTL. High picks/blue-chip prospects/premium young roster players are the only assets that could get Suzuki out of MTL. It doesn’t seem like NSH has much in the way of those, so that pretty much ends any discussion.

I feel like Montreal and Nashville are largely in the same place.

 

[BLNY]

Just isn't happening. He's the captain. He has undeniable chemistry with their best goal scorer. It remains to be seen whether or not the club thinks Dach is capable of being a center long term. I think he is, but he's also very good on the wing.

If Smith lands in Montreal's lap, they take him and run. If it's Michkov, they take him and wait until his contract is up.

Except Nashville doesn’t have any high-end prospects or young players. Their prospect pool is barren compared to MTL’s. There’s no deal to be made.

I'd disagree, we've got a great prospect pool, however I agree that a deal doesn't make sense.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Suzuki for Josi.

I think any Preds fan would do this. Obviously Josi is a much more prominent player, but he’s older and has a concussion history that may further affect his longevity. He also has an NMC that makes everything moot, however.

I wouldn’t pursue Suzuki for the Preds. We have 3 young centers in Novak, Parssinen, and Glass. Let’s see what they can do in a full season.

sure let's have fun, but context. Habs have sucked at centre for 3 decades. They finally had C depth on their cup run only to have Bergevin blow it up.
They finally have a guy who easily projects as a 70-80 pt C. He had 66 with awful line mates for half the year and is locked up to a good deal through his prime for 7 more years.
I suspect Habs will try and draft another C in Smith and maybe trade for PLD.
There's also Dach. Even with extra C's on the roster, they'll just move guys to the wing before ever considering trading guys like Suzuki.
He's 23, he's not even close to his prime and habs are dealing him?
For what? someone who might become him?
The habs have a very deep pool but no elite prospects except maybe
Hutson. The 5th OA addresses that concern.
you're going to need to blow Hughes out of the water in any deal.

And no, Askarov isn't going to get it done

They can’t. End thread
