Proposal: Lafrenière to Montreal.

[Golden_Jet]

Usually when you see both sides saying no, or as some posters said , one of those few proposals that seems fair.
Means it works both ways.

Lafrenière to the habs for Slafkovsky.

Both will be making similar money next year
Both were first overall picks
Montreal gets a French Canadian player.

Laffy could finally get more than a 1:23 a game on the PP. I’m sure he’s not happy about his PP time in NY, and could want a change of scenery, not sure why he doesn’t get much time on PP.

If small add needed, could be easily arranged with Habs prospect pool and/or player.

Hard pass for me.

I would much prefer keeping Slafkovsky.

Or both sides think its stupid and neither would do it

I think the Habs have a problem there with Slaf. He got onto the top line and PP. Not sure he has shown that much on His own.

I notice no one has talked about Slaf and his point totals or lack of point totals this year. Guy has 2 goals and 1 on the PP in 24 games. Think Montreal jumped the gun with that con

Well hopefully Slafkovski isn’t a lazy f***er like Lafreniere.

“ESPN Host Ted Lindsay called out Rangers for lack of effort and hustle on a consistent basis over the course of 60 minutes.
He ain’t wrong.
Gave four examples from the Seattle game.
Lindgren, Schneider, Lafreniere and Kakko.”

Exactly what both players need is to go to the only markets where they would face more pressure than they do now lol

Do they have center ice in the afterlife?

Laf is better at this point and suits the Rags needs for deep playoff runs.

The Rangers are not making the playoffs

The team for Lafreniere would be Ottawa.

If OTT I propose Tkachuk for Lafs + a 1st.

Lafrenière would be a bit younger than Suzuki and Caufield

Also the fact he speaks French doesn't affect you does it? LOL Slafs is younger than Lafs BTW

When the Hell has he shown that he was dynamic and a beast this year? lol He looks slow as molasse. If this trade happens and I'm Hughes, I'm hiding my face not to laugh in their face and run away like a bandit.

I'm actually shocked there's no more of a pushback from Rangers fans.

Ecoutes le Chat... Try to be objective. I know we haven't had a French Canadian superstar in a long while but doesn't mean we should get hosed in a deal. Slafs will round out to form sure enough.

Probably. Montreal fans are obsessed with Laf like Gollum is with the one ring.

Just FYI NyQuil is a Sens fan.

 

[frontsfan67]

Ah here we go with the Habs and their French Canadians

Don’t believe this is the first time I’ve seen this discussion and don’t believe it’ll be the last either

That's a deal too good to pass up. I find Slaf slow as Hell. But I'll give him the rest of the year to wake up.

OP isn't a habs fan

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

This makes a lot of sense for both teams.
Lafreniere seems to have plateau’d, on pace for 25g 60pts but has more value in MTL.
Slaf is a couple years younger has already had a 20g 50pt season & likely has more upside.

Except that the Rangers suck and would seem to finally be ready to move on from a core that was never good enough.

I like Zibby, but he’s not the guy. He’d be my first move, and that frees up a spot for Laf on the PP. Now he’s not plateaud no more.

I spit out my morning coffee seeing a Habs proposal that had Montreal trading away an asset they deem high on their value chart. WTF?

99% of the time the threads are Habs junk or spare parts in quantity for quality in a lopsided, Habs uber friendly trade suggestion.

Habs add to this proposal IMO. How much? not sure. Seems like it won't ever happen so a fools errand to try.

LaF is the better player. But at least Salfkovsky is a real asset that got put on the table. So bravo for bravery.

 

[samsagat]

Laf is performing better than Slaf and has got better year on year. He is an extremely valuable asset to the team. He has also proven that he can perform and drive the team in the playoffs.

Slaf's offense is heavily reliant on PP. Nearly 30% (45% this season) of his points are from the PP compared to Laf's 8%.

You realise Slaf is 2 and a half years younger?

At their ages it's enormous, you're comparing stats of an orange to an apple.

At Slaf age, Laff was having 30 something points seasons.

Slaf had a bad start of the year compared to his 2nd half of last season, but he's still ahead of what Laf was doing at the same age..

Slaf seems like a slow starter, but when he find his groove he's unstoppable.

I'm still confident he's gonna find his groove back and become the beast he showed us he can be

P.S.: not necessarily a beast in terms of points, even if he was a steady contributor in last season 2nd half, but a beast along the boards and near the net.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

No.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Pretty sure neither team does this

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Rangers do it. Habs laugh and hang up.
