Proposal: Montreal - San Jose

[vokiel]

It looks like we're giving away Kapanen and a 2nd for nothing. Granlund isn't coming back, so that's a no.

But Granlund doesn't look like a style of player that is very sought after comes the TD...

Yet 2 of the 3 times he was traded it was around the deadline. Funny that.

Don't want to trade him anyways unless a team is silly enough to offer a 1st. I think he re-signs in San Jose.

Granlund is having a great year, but he’s not a longterm solution for the Habs at 2c, so I don’t see them given up assets to try for the playoffs this year.

They want longterm pieces that will be a part of the core, Granlund is not that. Their goal is to compete for the cup in the years to come, not make the playoffs this year.

And what was he traded for in 2023 TD?

A 2nd.

But I understand your point.

But at the end of the day, if Grier can't get a 1st, he'll take the best offer instead of risking loosing him for nothing.

No, Montreal not trading their picks

I think we will but definitely not for a rental.

Actually you guys, SJS, should hit up the Red Wings. Yzerman likes those guys.

Sharks could probably use a defender prospect instead of Kapanen, but I don't think acquiring Granlund makes sense for the Habs.

Totally agree on both counts.
