LeBrun: Rangers and Montreal possibly talking trade. Habs interested in NYR prospects

[Guess]

As a Habs fan I think this is wishful thinking. Chiarot I see around a 1st, lekhonen around 2x2nd. Othman has been developping well he is worth more than a late 1st rounder in the next draft.

So Barclay goodrow goes for a first rnd pick + first round prospect and lekhonen only two seconds? Lol. Chiarot will go for a first + a 3rd or equivalent.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

habs would need to trade them separately to get max value.

Chiarot should land a 1st + B ish prospect
Lehkonen should land a 1st + Middle round pick 4/5th

I would put kravtsov's value at a low 1st.

Deal is close but imo rangers should add a bit more.

Or involve someone like Schneider in the deal but Schneider looks like he will help NYR in the playoffs this year so I doubt they do that.

As a habs fan I would want Brennan Othman in the deal.

something like Brennan Othman + 2022 1st( top 15 protected)

for Chiarot( 50 % retained) + lehkonen + 5th ish.

Rangers aren't dealing Othmann in a deal like this when Chiarot would be a luxury on the bottom pair and they wouldn't need Montreal to retain.

No Goodrow went for a 1st and a 3rd went the other way, he was on a 2y 900k contract also. Lehkonen closest comp in my mind is Janmark last year for 2nd + 3rd but he is a bit better I believe.
For Chiarot, yes around a 1st, could be +3rd like Savard last year.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

lol what. Friedman said multiple teams have already lined up their 1st for chiarot.

Well i guess its gospel then because he's never been wrong.

This has been said by every insider in hockey right now. The GM of Montreal said they've got several offers but are waiting for the right price. If he goes for under a first round pick it's because the market collapsed and they didn't pull the trigger fast enough.

 

[Nickmo82]

I hope that the Rangers FO have more sense than to sell even a tiny part of the farm this year... especially for a 3rd pairing guy. Scary times.

Dont you think if they'd been offered a 1st by now they would have jumped on it? Just posturing by the GM.

 

[SML2]

IMO, this screams Nils Lundquist or however you spell it.

Not really. If you were getting first round pick offers in December and now in January it's a 1st and a 5th, why not wait to see who goes even higher?

Montreal has been here before. They had Craig Rivet as a UFA in 06-07 and waited until two days before the trade deadline to move him with a fifth for Josh Gorges and a 1st round pick which became Max Pacioretty. I'm sure other teams were offering a first for Rivet. They waited to get a guy like Gorges added.

Or you wait and miss out on a 1st as teams acquire more valuable assets with them...

I'm not sure how to break it to you bud...

 

[duhmetreE]

What do you mean?

He's a RFA in Russia.

No guarantee he will sign to an undesirable market/team.

Question to the Ranger fans.
Who do you like the most. Your #1 Rated prospect D-man Lundqvist or your # 2 rated prospect also a D-man Schneider?

 

[Price is Wright]

Or you wait and miss out on a 1st as teams acquire more valuable assets with them...

That's of course the danger of the game. It's why Montreal got Vanek for a 2nd and a prospect instead of what the Islanders originally wanted for him.

Kent is a new GM though he has Gorton helping. Teams are gonna try to take advantage of him. But teams have absolutely been calling on Chiarot and they know the current price. So if they want him before the deadline, it's a first +

Schneider is well ahead of Nils dont let anyone else tell you otherwise

Thanks for the response.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

It was Lundkvist last summer. Schneider has passed him on the depth chart. Lundkvist is still a fantastic prospect however.

 

[General Fanager]

This thread reminds me of The Flames thread and their fans saying The Habs would never get a 1st + for Toffoli.....

I wonder how this one will turn out......

Different side of the table, but he's been around the block. His presser today, he was clear. He's open for business, but he's not giving guys away. He's also prepared to move bodies well before the deadline if teams ante up. Make a real offer, and he's prepared to move.

Both of them are fantastic prospects, and neither one is far ahead of either despite would others say here. The difference is we have a Fox and Jones, which are similar to Lundkvist , which makes him more expendable than Schneider who is more of a physical stay at home dman, which we need.

 

[duhmetreE]

He's still a great prospect but Schneider has been outstanding in every aspect of the game. Not a knock on Nils but more of praise to Schneider... he's been nearly flawless

He's blown away any expectations any rational fan would have had... while Nils is well below.

Definitely. If LeBrun knows Montreal and New York are talking and the conversation is about Rangers prospects, it's likely because the Rangers want someone from the Habs that will cost them more than just a pick. Chiarot would fit that. Lehkonen fits that.

 

[EveryDay]

I hope that the Rangers FO have more sense than to sell even a tiny part of the farm this year... especially for a 3rd pairing guy. Scary times.

If Chiarot is a 3rd pairing defenceman I guess we can say the same thing about Trouba....

 

[crowi]

I'll take Josh Anderson

You say this AND complain about Drury.

 

[Stubu]

He's a RFA in Russia.

No guarantee he will sign to an undesirable market/team.

Ah, I see. Haha. I wasn't talking about Kravtsov at all!
