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

[One Winged Angel]

Chiarot and Lehkonen for Lafrenière and a 3rd.

I want whatever you’re smoking, dude.

 

[Taluss]

For Eichel....no one was tradeable buddy

Because a lot of Rangers fans weren’t interested in him. Why would they offer interesting pieces.

Besides, Eichel is a very rare and poor example to use. I shouldn’t have to explain why

 

[ole ole]

I want whatever you’re smoking, dude.

He was just basically mocking the ridiculous post of asking for Suzuki and Caufield for Othmann .

 

[Prairie Habs]

The Habs have just traded for a Lekhonen replacement. I want Kravtsov, Romanov needs a comrade here.

Who probably won't be in the league for another 2-3 years. No need to rush lehky out the door

Swap Lundkvist and Schneider

Oh great! Thanks

Montreal will likely trade Chiarot elsewhere.

 

[Calad]

Montreal will likely trade Chiarot elsewhere.

I agree. There are other teams that need Chiarot more, that will likely pay more for his services.

Lehkonen and Dvorak are much better fits for the rangers needs

 

[Kupo]

I thought NYR prospects were untouchable?

For Eichel....no one was tradeable buddy

Three prospects were unavailable for Eichel. Three. 3. Tres. Tria. Tri. San. три.

Most of the Rangers fanbase wanted no part of Jack, anyway.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Add Schiefele to the available list. Chances of the Habs getting a first continue to shrink.

 

[Sensinitis]

I’m sure the Habs would love to acquire Lafreniere just to ruin him some more

 

[Habs10025]

Unlikely Montreal trade either player to NYR.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Kravtsov's progression raises some questions...

I would not go that route.

 

[gravey9]

Janmark got a 2nd +3rd that s the floor for Lekhonen.

That's likely close to the ceiling as well. Zuccarello went for 2nd + 3rd. And he's better than Janmark and Lek.

 

[Engelwood]

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.

Many of the talking heads in the NHL are calling Lekhonen as this years Goodrow. The player that fills your 3rd line as a pesky excellent 200 foot player that will get some points. Look Goodrow got a 1st and 3rd last year for the cup winning team.

 

[Jabba11]

Well... if the Habs end up with Shane Wright that means two ex-teammates and good friends are being re-united.

Yup, I was thinking in that sense too. But I understand that his value is very high at the moment.

No Goodrow got 1st and the third went the other way which is close to 2x2nds

They have until March 21st. My bet is on Dvorak for some prospect.

 

[Habs10025]

Unlikely Montreal trade Dvorak for only a prospect its also unlikely they retain any salary.

 

[vokiel]

Definitely not unlikely, nice try though.

Why would they even need to retain anything anyhow..

 

[Habs10025]

Definitely not unlikely, nice try though.

Montreal are not doing a complete rebuild Hughes/Gorton will only trade Dvorak , Lehkonen if they get an offer they like . Montreal don't need to trade either player.

We will trade them with the right offer, just watch and cry all you want.

 

[smoneil]

Also, Lekhonen makes more than twice what Goodrow made when he was traded to TB. The Rangers have no problem absorbing that salary this season, but the higher salary now means that the re-signing salary will be even higher, making it difficult for the Rangers to bring him in long term. They literally just moved a FAR better winger entering his last RFA year because of the cap situation. What would be the point of moving Buchnevich due to the cap only to trade assets to bring in a lesser player who will cost only a little bit less? If I'm Drury, I don't offer much unless I know what the player is looking for on his next contract.

Make all the fantasy trades you want .

damn. oh well.

could you maybe explain this then?



or do you hold a grudge vs NYR or something? If anyone knows the rangers farm system outside their own management, its Gorton, who built it. I fail to see the logic in not trading either of these players to NYR considering all the smoke around the two teams.

If you believe the NYR are the only team interested in players like Chiarot , Lehkonen , Dvorak your wrong. Gorton/Hughes will trade Chiarot before the trade deadline to the team that makes an offer Gorton/Hughes like best and that applies to Lehkonen , Dvorak difference is they don't need to trade Lehkonen who they could easily resign and Dvorak who is already under contract.
