I'd prefer they let Broberg walk instead of throwing away a 1st rounder to move Ceci's last year.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That's horrible for Edmonton.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I would do it from a Habs perspective and then trade Ceci with 50% retention to get more assets.

Montreal only has one more retention slot available. Can’t retain on Ceci if they retain on Harris

Yeah, that changes my view. With Ceci, it blocks Reinbacher / Mailloux. Can't retain on Harris.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Edmonton definitely says no. Please don’t ever include someone with the last name Trudeau in a proposal with Edmonton. He’d have to be the 2nd coming of Gretzky to avoid getting booed horrendously.

The exact amount of cap space they need (assuming Kane is LTIR'd or gone) is the caphit of Barron, who's also a RD (which they are in a shortage of, having to play Broberg, an LD, on his offside because of Nurse/Ekholm/Kulak at LD.)

Simplify things:

Barron
2025 5th round pick

In exchange for

Ceci
2025 3rd round pick
2026 2nd round pick

The 2025 3rd for 5th round pick swap is merely due to the Oilers not having a 2025 2nd, and their picks being late round.

Depending on how things go, Mtl can then hope to maybe get another mid-round pick for Ceci at the TDL (2nd or 3rd rounder likely), whereas the Oilers are getting cost certainty for 2 years for a young RD that could still pan out into a 2nd pair role under a new system.

Ekholm Bouchard
Kulak Barron
Nurse Broberg


Multiple mid-round picks are a lot more palatable while getting younger on the back-end to try & keep both Broberg & Holloway, should they decide to do so.

Makes zero sense for the Habs. Habs would only help the Oilers if they can extract a 1st IMO.

 

[The Nuge]

This is comically bad. If you take the offersheets out of the equation, I wouldn’t even do this trade without the 1st round pick. If you have to throw away a 1st+ to match Broberg, I’d rather just take the second

If i Edm i walk away from both offersheets. At this stage, Any deal with the Habs would end up with Edm being on the wrong end. Hughes won’t help Bowman out of the goodness if his heart.

So Montreal swaps a defenseman for a defenseman who is eight years older and a UFA at the end of the season, while picking up an extra pick which isn't a 1st-rounder (the Habs already have plenty of picks)? I can't see that being of interest for the Canadiens.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

This would be basically giving up a 1st + 2nd + 4.5m of cap space for Broberg. That's laughable.

MTL : Jordan Harris (50%) + Luke Tuch/Riley Kidney/William Trudeau
for
OILERS : Ceci + 2026 first.

Gets some cap space for the oilers while the habs are getting a other first pick.

So 2 guys who probably won't play more than a couple hundred NHL games combined as a bottom pairing Dman and 4th line forward for Ceci and a first?

Please share what you are having sounds like a wild trip.

The trade you are quoting actually makes sense for both teams, not like the OP which was simply ridiciously one sided.

You seem to be under the impression that ceci has anything other than extremely negative value. You should reassess before attempting any more trade evaluations.

Nothing makes sense about trading Barron for Ceci, that’s a terrible trade for Montreal

Negatory. No room or need for Ceci. Habs need to see what they have in Barron. Habs won’t help the Oilers out unless they take em for a ride.

I'd pass from the Habs. Retain on Harris very small and removes us from retaining on Savard, Dvorak or Armia. Which recoupes much greater return.

I think Oilers can find a better offer if they need to clear cap.

That os like... Horrible for the Habs lol...

Barron value is more than EDM 2bd

And itll cost EDM a loooootttt more to unload Ceci than a 3rd lol

See Monahan.

If EDM aren't willing to part with their 2026 1st we get it, bjt we won't help them either

Oilers fans need to realise that when you are trading from a position of weakness, in this case a terrible one, you'll lose the deal. You ain't getting a fair deal to keep your young players my guy lol.

Best Habs will do is

Ceci
1st 2026

For

future cons

See Monahan

 

[HabsAddict]

If the Oil get rid of salary and need cheap young defenseman, we got them. AND with potential upside to top 4.

It will cost picks.

I'm in telepathic contact with Hughes and he told me there is no freebies and no saving Bowman from Bowman.

Moving on...

The poster- who definitely isn’t Slafy - is the guy you’re talking about. He certainly is consistent, whichever username he’s using. Everything continues to be awful. Please don’t lump us all in as the guy, who certainly never was Slafy, because there’s only one person continuously that bad.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Ceci, Kulak and a 27’ first to Chicago for something and a 27’ 4th
