Speculation: Potential Chicago-Monteal trade

[Video Coach]

What about Crawford for Kinkaid straight up?

Montreal gets the better goalie, and someone they should be able to trust more than Kinkaid in an attempt to save their season.

Chicago gets a capable backup and saves $4.25 M on the cap this year, freeing them up to make more moves this year.

I could see both of these guys re-signing with these teams to form new tandems. Price-Crawford, Lehner-Kinkaid.

i think gus or saad to montreal would make sense.


This is going to get ripped.
Gus Sikura and Saad to montreal for Petry and Caufield

 

[LDF]

Bergevin will listen if you want to dump a contract but it all comes down to what you are willing to give us as incentive. We are likely the only big market team with cap space that would be willing to ask our owner to write off some money

and that is the way it should be done. what it will take to fix a problem they created.

nice way to rebuild the org.

1)His family still lives in Chicago as far as I know
2)It's American Thanksgiving
3)He used to work for the Blackhawks and is good friends with management. It's been his home since his rookie playing days.

Why wouldn't he take in games when he's back home?

Laughable at best. Wouldnt trade Petry OR Caufield for those two, unless you added...alot.

@ChiHawk21

No way at all Montreal does that.

 

[LDF]

Yes but at the time this trade seemed like a complete disaster. No way Bergevin saw this coming.

some gambles do not work out. so ??

 

[LDF]

Did it? He seemed pretty happy at the time and still seem pretty happy about it now.

come on, what do you expect to do.... cry ??

 

[LDF]

Hawks don't have any contracts to dump.

Seabs comes to my mind .....

 

[Mrfenn92]

@videocoach

No interest for me at all Crawford and kinkaid straight up.
Cap savings don't do much for hawks this year.

 

[Ashdown2]

Moving little in return? Kane is actually worth his contract, especially when you consider that now that other players are getting paid in the 10 million range. I'm going to just assume you meant that they wouldn't have to send out a lot of cap back.

ya the return would be substantial, but is he even available ? which was more my question. i dont watch hawks broadcasts and just wondering if hawk fans think its time to move him to get proper assets for a true rebuild.
a guess a move like this will be tackle in the summer when most teams will have cap space for him.

the Bhawks needs to make the playoff....... with CC the chances to good.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Be realistic. He's not getting moved.

 

[LDF]

Be realistic. He's not getting moved.

soooo true......

I think Weber played well since he came over. I ain’t the one crying here, you are (probably because you miss vintage Subban - which doesn’t exist anymore).

ahhh Subban never been on the Bhawks..... i know i am old, but my memory is still good...... if i remember correctly .

 

[Video Coach]

Ok fair enough. Only thing I'd say is this trade gives them the space to add another player or players that they may not have been able to acquire otherwise, and in the meantime you'd still have a 2nd goalie that could and should be a reliable 30-40 game guy.

 

[Steeler23]

I'm suprised no one is talking about Chad Krys or Nicolas Beaudin the habs are thin at LD for the futur. I wonder what would chicago want for one of them ? A Prospect Winger or RD ? Maybe a Goalie prospect (Mcniven?)

Thin at LD for the future? Mete, Romanov, Norlinder, Harris, Struble, Fairbrother, LeGuerrier and even Leskinen is looking good in the AHL. Pretty sure it's actually our deepest position since last draft.

Thought you were a Habs fan. Anyway, as everyone else I was a bit shocked when the trade happened but as soon as I saw Weber play regularly in Montreal I understood the trade and was very happy with it

 

[Gaud]

Haven't seen MB make a such a bad move since he's in place with the Habs.
Tell me witch trade MB made that was such a bad move ???
btw Drouin is not a bad move

the Andrighetto one was pretty bad.. same with the King one
but otherwise, I agree with you; he's not horrible. Id liek it if he tried taking chances more

 

[Steeler23]

Dallas had 2 scouts in Mtl yesterday, so maybe it's for them and not Chicago?

If it's Chicago, I said it last time Bergevin was spotted in Rockford, I wouldn't be surprise if he's interested in Sikura and/or Holm (if he think he can be better than Kulak/Reilly). Maybe it's a sweetener to get rid of Zack Smith contract?

At this point, I can't see him giving much for a rental when the team is losing so badly. We aren't a clear cut playoff team, even if we add 1 big piece. We are 3 pieces away from being a real playoff team.

Ps: LOL at the one expecting Mtl to give Caufield for Saad and Gus.

 

[Steeler23]

the Andrighetto one was pretty bad.. same with the King one
but otherwise, I agree with you; he's not horrible. Id liek it if he tried taking chances more

Andrighetto put up an amazing 19 games, but he was absolutely nothing special after that. An average bottom-6. So, even if he "lost" that trade, you can't call it pretty bad when we talk about 2 4th liners.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Knowing him it's Seabrook

I can see it lol.

"I like the character he brings to the team and his leadership"

 

[tony d]

Doubt Montreal would pick up Crawford, I could see a possible Toews for Poehling, Mete, 2020 1st trade though.

Why wouldn't he take in games when he's back home?

Yeah, I think too often fans react to GMs/scouts going to games as a sign of something being imminent, when it's just what they do.
