Proposal: LA MTL

[kinghock]

The lack of respect for Gallagher here is something else. We are one year removed from being legit 30 goal scorer that scores most his goals 5 vs 5, never takes a shift off and plays great defense.

Most GM will see this season as an outlier in his career, a season where he has been injured and plays for an abysmal team and would for sure take a look at acquiring Gallagher.

A former smallish 5th round pick with good OHL stats (dime a dozen prospects) and a second is an abysmal trade for a 30 goals scorer?!?!

He will be 34 when the deal ends, not 38!

Just keep Gallagher with Montreal or try to offer him to other teams.
Your used car salesman sales pitch will not work with LA.

wow... this thread went from an abysmal trade offer to a pissy match.

Matheson?

Please keep him and his 4 goals. Enjoy the prime years you had with him and the future salary cap added to your team. No contender will touch him, no rebuilding team will give prospects for him.

Make him your C, he will proudly wear it and show the way for future kids until he retires on LTIR

I like the idea of getting Chromiak, not sure what it would take. He plays with Wright in Kingston.

If you really want sniper like Chromiak Kings really want Romanov from you.
LA might need to add third round pick.
Kings understand how valuable commodity is Chromiak and why Montreal wants him.

the armchair GM's here are not Montreal or LA management and who ever heard of Chromiak before this thread? He is a playing in the OHL...we'll see what he does over time. Lots of asset inflation here.

 

[tkb81]

Yes paying Danault over a million dollars per goal would be great value!

dudes on pace for 20 this year

You want Romanov you better be offering up a lot more than Chromiak.

pace is not total. We'll see how many he gets over the duration of the contract and do the math to see how many hundreds of thousands or millions it cost LA per goal.

listening to kings fans here it is like Chromiak is made of Unobtainium! the second coming of Luc Robitaille no less. I guess everything glitters out there.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Timmins .a 1st rd and a 4th for Kuemper.

Timmins got the body/health of a toddler.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

You're on fire dude. Keep the hate train rolling haha. Surprising you say that as a (young?!?) Avs fan. They sucked for the last decade

Montreal has sucked since… mid 90s?

No, it is just Chromiak has great potential and Montreal will not get him for garbage offers.

well he has 10 already ... so you can quit saying millions per goal .. haha or are you one of those people who cant see logic past his own team? i guess we should see how many saves price makes this year for his 10 mill cap hit

We made the scf 6 months ago. Any way, it wasn't a jab at Avs fan base. It was a jab at this troll

If you never heard of Chromiak before this thread it should decrease his value for sure.
I guess scouting department of Montreal HF board is not the best in NHL...

 

[jfhabs]

I've been a Gallagher fan since his days with the Vancouver Giants. I love his attitude and work ethic. Given his age, size, style of play, cap hit and term I would not be giving up valuable assets for Gallagher. That could be a poor decision, but from a risk mitigation perspective acquiring Gallagher comes with a large risk factor.

I totally agree with you. I made a post pointing the same direction. It's the not worst thing for the Habs to keep him around either. Cap space won't be an issie for us in the mext few years anyway. He's not that old... I know he has milleage but sill. People on these board act like players are done at 27 sometimes...

This other poster just talks crap on everything habs that's all.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Kuemper is 18-5-1 with a .913% save %. Making $3.5mm AAV. I’d do that exact same trade over and over again. Avs have the top team in the west. Probably the best roster in the NHL.

So remind me again.

And given this post is about the LA Kings, go ahead and ask them about Kuemper and how he played last night in LA.

Yes because Colorado has developed that unhealthy habits of being very happy with a great regular season/personal stats from their top dog and then folding up come playoff time and somewhat being ok with it because MacKinnon, Rantanen and Makar had a great regular season padding their personal stats.

Just enough to make everyone happy but not enough to go anywhere near a cup. That’s what you will keep getting with your 3.5M Kuemper and 5M Girard over and over again

Then why'd a MTL fan make the proposal? Cut it out with the used car sale bullshit. We like our trash, thanks.

And it seems like there's either a language barrier or people aren't listening. It's not taht Gallagher doesn't have value in a vacuum; it's that LA has an absolute glut of veterans and is trying to create spots for the youth in the middle of a rebuild. Adding FIVE YEARS of Gallagher doesn't help that. It's not that Chromiak isn't 'worth' Gallagher. It's that, as usual, fans aren't considering LA's actual needs and situations and just want to start a pissing match about "bawwwww you hope your prospect EVER becomes a player."

Bingo. No one is saying Chromiak is untouchable, just it has to address a position of need.

Look...LA has already started collecting Mtl's junk (Danault, Bergervin), if the LA GM wants Gallagher to add to the collection then nobody here is going to stop it and if he decides to put this unknown Chromeguy then so be it. Nobody here has a say in anything so get off your high horses. And FWIW Danault has never hit over 13 goals so don't expect him to compete with Ovechkin and anyway you do the calculation you will be paying each goal in the mid 6 figures. Bye GMs

His maximum in the NHL is 13 which he only hit twice. So unless he channels his inner Brett Hull at 28 your team will be paying at least 500K per goal. i would wager that after this honeymoon blip that your team will be paying closer to $1M per goal. Keep dreaming!

the way he plays and his injury history he might as well be 45 when his contract ends.

I shall ... did you forget to comment on the price part or does that not help your narrative
