Speculation: Montreal and Colorado/Dallas | Bergevin Attended Avs/Stars Game In Denver

[Leon Lucius Black]

Doubt anything will happen, but the Habs could use an upgrade for their third line C (not sure if Dallas/Colorado has anyone available capable of that).

 

[Mr Misty]

He was in Colorado with Molson - Coors/Molson is based where?

By this logic, Molson takes his brewmaster to NHL Board of Governor's meetings and the draft.

I assume people with enough money to own NHL teams do not insist the person they hire to run those teams accompany them to unrelated business functions during the season.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Andrighetto, Emelin, 2nd round pick for Tyson Barrie.

I hope you aren't serious it takes prolly x3 time your offer to get Barrie

A month ago yes but due to injuries(Eakin, Janmark) there's no way Dallas has one to spare now

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

It's almost certainly a sarcastic response to the trade value he quoted.

 

[Balthazar]

Are you seriouse? Avs fans would do it? I think MTL fans would do that deal yesterday. DD is the most hated hab maybe ever.

AVS fans would say yes to Iggy for DD even without the 2nd pick.

 

[Video Coach]

Alexei Emelin to Col/Dal?



Montreal fans, who needs to be protected for dmen?

Obviously Weber, Petry you want to protect... I'm guessing Markov also has a NTC, but does Emelin have a NTC? If they all have NTC then it could explain them trying to trade Beaulieu ibstead of losing him ..

I'm thinking the same thing about Emelin. Both Col and Dal could probably use D, no? Perhaps Emelin doesn't sound like the guy but I think there are GMs around the league that like his physicality. Could see him moved for another depth D like Gelinas.

Markov is UFA this year. And I believe only guys with NMC need to be protected. So for Montreal we're looking at Weber, Beaulieu, Petry.

 

[TT1]

Montreal gets: Eric Gelinas ($1.575M cap hit), 2nd round pick
Colorado gets: Nathan Beaulieu ($1M cap hit)

Beaulieu isnt going anywhere, he looks great on our top pair so far. Due to his emergence we can hold off on looking for an LHD.. and Sergachev will most likely replace Markov next season (in our top 4).

Our main need is a 2C, Hanzal is the guy we should be targeting. Don't think Dallas or Colorado have any expendable 2C's.

 

[Benstheman]

My only interest as a Stars fan is for someone to finally take Oleksiak. Or for Carey Price

Emelin for Oleksiak.

Done deal.

 

[Benstheman]

Montreal gets: Eric Gelinas ($1.575M cap hit), 2nd round pick
Colorado gets: Nathan Beaulieu ($1M cap hit)

Beaulieu is having a pretty solid start to the season and was dominant in preseason. He plays with more physicality and seems to understand how to balance offense and stable defense.

He is actually doing pretty good with weber right now.

When you look at Beaulieu, you see a mid 1st round pick that showed a slow but constant progression in his game. The guy is a quick smooth skater who is becoming a complete D. I'm starting to see him as a more offensive Petry. Which may slot him as no.2-3 D, which is what we need right now on the left side.

Only 23 years old. Earning 1M$. And still progressing.

It may change during the season but right now, Beaulieu is untoucheable on D.

Exactly this.

I could see Hanzal playing on our 2nd line next year. Bumping down Plekanec on our 3rd line for his final year (hopefully) with the Habs.

Then the next year you could use a younger guy (Hudon or McCarron) as our 3 line center, or even Shaw.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Probably trading Beaulieu for Tyutin because who needs skilled d-men.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Beaulieau+Desharnais for Iginla+Beauchemin

 

[Slashers98]

Pacioretty for Landeskog is in the rumour mill... take it with a grain of salt.

 

[hockeyheadlines]

Emelin for Oleksiak.

Done deal.

Oleksiak wasn't even in the lineup though.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Pacioretty for Landeskog is in the rumour mill... take it with a grain of salt.

Forget the grain...a mountain of salt.

 

[Agalloch]

Could be Galchenyuk (for Duchene) 1 for 1

 

[Drij]

Maybe he just likes to watch hockey games.

 

[Talent Analyst]

A trade around Plekanek + Beaulieu for Duchene ?

 

[Doublechin]

Pacioretty for Landeskog is in the rumour mill... take it with a grain of salt.

What rumor mill?

We have a 2C, Plekanec. Hanzal is a lateral move at best, he has never been close to Plekanec's production and the advantage in size isn't enough to offset that.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Could be Galchenyuk (for Duchene) 1 for 1

What purpose does that serve either team?

 

[tucker3434]

The Avs are actually getting a bit crowded on the blue line and thin on the wings. So while the "Avs trade offense for defense" theme has had merit in the past, it doesn't much anymore.

Honestly, this early in the season, I have no idea what they'd be discussing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Avs moved a contract for Andrighetto, but that's hardly worth the trip. He did get to see an exiting game though.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Could be Galchenyuk (for Duchene) 1 for 1

That would be awful for the Avs imo

 

[Agalloch]

What purpose does that serve either team?

Colorado getting a little bit younger and Montreal doesn't like players going out in partys like Galchenyuk.

(I wouldn't do the trade btw)
