hey guys,
habs fan coming in peace. I just wanted to get a gauge on what it would cost to acquire Clifford around the deadline.
To Montreal: Kyle Clifford
To LA: Travis Moen(500k retained) and a 3rd round pick
could this be close?

Only LW from MTL I see us ever targeting is Pacioretty. And that won't happen as Patches is untouchable. And amazing. Go Blue.
I have gone from not liking Moen to being one of his biggest fans.
That said, no way I do this.
A) Moen is nine years older and on the downswing in his career. Moen's offensive production is also on the downswing while Clifford will likely be increasing his production, though likely to not exceed about 30 points a year.
B) Moen's cap hit is $775,000 higher, which is actually more than what the Kings have in cap space at the moment. Not to mention Moen isn't worth spending more cap space on. Even factoring in the retained amount, it'd still cost us more than what Clifford costs us now.
A 3rd doesn't out weigh the difference in age, upside and cap space.
I'd love to add Moen, I just don't see where we could fit him in and still offer something that Montreal wants.
I think he plays a little centre from time to time, so maybe Colin Fraser and a 3rd for Moen if Montreal retains about half the salary, but if I was Montreal, I'd pass on that. He'd be great on the fourth line.
what if the 3rd was upgraded to a 2nd?
or Louis LeBlanc included?
or for salary purposes; would you rather Ryan White?
Franzen would be a great add. What type of D-man is Detroit seeking TG?
Muzzin or A-Mart in a deal would be doable.
Clifford for a second round pick.
this would open a spot for a young guy, but we are in win now mode so I don't see it.
I would rather LA trade 2 players for 1 upgrade to open up the spot. I think a Clifford holds more value that what could be gather with Montreal's 2nd.

No thanks to Moen or White.
Counter,
You get Clifford
We get a 2nd an a 4rth in 14 and a 2nd in 15.
Lol.
So, by trading away Clifford, we're no longer in a "win now" mode?
No but you don't often see teams chasing the cup trade assets like Clifford. They usually trade for them.
