Proposal: MTL & NAS

[Lockin17]

Nashville is in for the win, signing Stamkos, Marchesseault, and Josi, O'reilly not getting any younger.

Could the Habs trade some decent pieces for future ?

I see Dvorak, Matheson, Savard, Anderson being targets for Nashville.

MTL : Matheson (50%)
for
NAS : Fedor Svechkov OR best of first 2025

or

MTL : Dvorak (50%)
for
NAS : Tampa 2nd 2025

or

MTL : Savard (50%) + 3rd 2025
for
NAS : Worse between Nash and Tamps first in 2025

or

MTL ; Anderson (50%) + 4th 2025
for
NAS : Nash 2nd pick 2025

Classic stuff Habs Nation! Think you might have got the picks mixed up on the Dvorak and Anderson trade proposals.

 

[Hockey Know it all]

No hate man and while I’m definitely not a Preds fan, they have absolutely NO NEED for any of the aforementioned.

Their 12F, 6D and 2G are pretty much set in stone and they have solid depth options. No need for overpriced players.

 

[Bouboumaster]

The only one that I could see them interested in could be the Savard Trade

The 4th is lopsided in our favor

 

[Oddbob]

Oh yeah, NSH wants all sorts of garbage for high end pieces. Spoke with Barry yesterday and he said any low pieces he could find were his.

 

[Habs7631]

Nashville has 2 1st, 2 2nd and 2 3rd in next year draft on top of a really nice prospect pool.

If they want to buy, they can and will do a lot better than Matheson/Savard/Anderson.

They also will not buy now. They’ll probably wait and see what this group looks like and what’s available at the deadline before making their move(s).

Remember that some of the top targets at the deadline often get traded for a 1st and/or a prospect. And sometimes even less, look at how cheap some of the top pieces were at last year deadline.

Most contenders/playoffs teams don’t have anywhere near the ammo to outbid Nashville from a picks/prospect point of view at this year deadline. They also play in a really attractive market so rentals are probably gonna be interested in re-signing with them.

Pretty sad on the third and 4th line ,
Dvorak could fill the third line center, Anderson on their third line as well

Again folks, this guy, who definitely isn’t Slafy (the Habs fan who continually made awful garbage proposals) who just showed up making awful Habs proposals immediately after Slafy’s disappearance does not speak for “Habs Nation.”

Also it’s definitely, for sure, not Slafy. It’s for sure somebody completely different. Totally.

Stamkos did not come in a team that wants a rebuild, i see them going for targets and try too win

We don't want any of that crap (and don't have the cap space anyway).

i get that cap space that's why i put 50% retained on all.
But these are not crap players, i mean you have Nyquist on your top line ?
Come on man !!

that's what you probably want as well... lucky you

He would still be on the top line even after trading for any of this junk.

Montreal can only retain on one more contact for next season so if they were all moved it would be at full price except 1

Don't sleep on Nyquist. I've always thought he was a better player than his stat line indicated. He is coming off a 75 point season and he going to have more offensive talent around him this coming season.

Glass and Tomasino exist.

MTL has had just 1 player in the last 15 years surpass Nyquists 75 points from last year

Odds are he isn't going to get 1st PP time though like he did this past season. It's probably going to be hard for him to replicate but that doesn't mean he is bad or useless. Even if we only get 50 out of him he is still a useful player for us.

 

[AKL]

Safe to say you can't accuse OP of aiming too low

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

You are right that he did not go there for a rebuild, just like Saros did not sign an extension to be part of a rebuild. However that would mean they would logically use their deep pick and prospect pool to acquire good hockey players that improve their roster no? Of all your proposals which of those includes a player that improves their roster?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

None of the proposals are far off but Predators don't need any of those players. Habs will likley only retain for a 1st round pick anyway.

How can you say that Matheson won't be a big upgrade on the top 4 ?
Dvorak would sure be a upgrade on the third line.
Savard ? damn he does it all.
Ok then ....

 

[CanadienShark]

I would be on board for all of those trades. I don't think Nashville would.

What area does Matheson improve nashville on? He doesn't play on their PP over josi or skjei. He's awful on the PK. And he isn't particularly effective 5v5.

Sissons is much better than Dvorak.

Savard (assuming you view Josi as a RD) would arguably be nashville's 5th best RD behind Josi, Carrier (no argument up to this point), Schenn, and Fabbro

 

[thefutures]

yeah we knew this ...

Great proposal

 

[Bounces R Way]

These are all terrible.
