It is not.

Plekanec holds little value, as does your 1st. Galchenyuk isn't up there either, when Tavares is the target.

 

[Deadweight]

Hmm nope nope nopee

 

[HOPE]

with no contract extension garanteed tavares isnt worth galchenyuk, i know people will laugh but it would be poor management from habs perspective. with tavares considering resigning with NYI or Habs, this is a bad trade for NYI

 

[yianik]

And the Habs would still need a 2C. Does nothing for either club really.

I would agree with you if Tavares was an UFA after this season, but he has one year after that. I think 1.5 years of Tavares is worth Galchenyuk++.

This would be an "all in move" by Montreal. There's risk to it, but that is how you put a team over the top.

We're looking to add at center. Trading our best for the Islanders best doesn't help us in that respect.

I know, I know, we're talking about JT. However, I don't think he'd stay past end of contract, therefore, it's a no.

The Big Move between these two teams that could help both, so something that could happen, is Patches for Nelson and Lee.

boy oh boy lol

I think it helps Montreal but I agree, who wouldn't want a 1/2 punch of Tavares/Galch? I think there is nobody else on the Habs of value to the Islanders. Prospects and picks wouldn't get it done.

Nope, not even a little bit.

 

[DrTucker]

Not even remotely close in value

 

[rhinoshawarma]

1.5 years of tavares for galchenyuk alone is ugly

 

[Maukkis]

how much longer is jt signed

For longer than Galchenyuk.

 

[hockeyheadlines]

For longer than Galchenyuk.

Galchenyuk is RFA, so that's not a big problem.

Yeah man, awful for the habs

 

[LordNeverLose]

Tavares (even with only 1.5 years left until you have to re-sign him) >>>> Galchenyuk

De Haan >>>>> Plekanec + late 1st




Honestly, and I hate to paint with a broad brush here, but Montreal fans are really bad at making proposals that aren't absurdly lopsided.

IF Tavares wants out, like the rumors say, NYI would be extremely lucky to get a young top center like Galchenyuk in exchange for him.

Galchenyuk is off course not as complete as Tavares but offensively it's about the same talent. And Galchenyuk is only 22 years old. Plenty of time to round up his defensive game.

 

[Benstheman]

nelson AND lee??!!

It's in fact not enough to get a 1st line, 35 goals scorer on an amazing contract.

Homerism is never a good thing.

I mean, it's not like you have to defend your point in front of a judge to stop the trade being done.

the isles probably counter with

Nelson, Grabovski and 1st
for Galchenyuk and Beaulieu.

I cant see the isles entertaining JT for any less than a massive overpayment. Galchenyuk,Gallager,1st would be a start. Tavares is a franchise player
