Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXVII: Derek Stepan Trade-A-Palooza

[Vinny DeAngelo]

They can keep their prospects. I learned we need to build through the draft or bust.

Stepan + Raanta
for
7OA, 16OA, 23OA

I actually like this idea... 7th OA gets us a really nice Dman

 

[JT Kreider]

I'm not sure what the flames are doing, really. They've had enough 1B/2A goaltenders go through their team to form a bobsledding team since Kipper retired and now they're going to invest in Mike Smith alongside their secondary options in Elliot and Johnson.

Mike Smith was really good this year all things considered.

 

[Tawnos]

I'm not trading Stepan for anything less than a current NHL player. Enough with the picks.

 

[Filip Chytil]

 

[Griffinbw]

Mike Smith was really good this year all things considered.

Except for Puemps hatty

 

[Boruto]

Mike Smith was really good this year all things considered.

He's pretty leaky. Not exactly a different formula change from Hiller and Elliot.

Beaulieu just went for a 3rd round pick to buffalo

 

[rangers1314]

From the Habs twitter - The Canadiens acquire BUF's 3rd-round pick (68) in 2017 , in return for N. Beaulieu.

Beaulieu just went for a 3rd round pick to buffalo

Just a 3rd? Geez

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

MTL traded Belieu for a 3rd.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Starting to see some movement...

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Just a 3rd? Geez

He sucks, I'm not that surprised.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Just a 3rd? Geez

we shouldve been in on that..

 

[Boris Zubov]

Glad the Flames GM isn't working for the Rangers.

 

[Griffinbw]

Bergevin is allergic to young defenseman

 

[Boruto]

I just don't see a last minute door crasher deal happening at this pseudo-deadline. Not one of Stepan proportions.

 

[Tawnos]

we shouldve been in on that..

We don't have a 3rd rounder.

 

[Griffinbw]

We don't have a 3rd rounder.

Next year?

 

[Irishguy42]

Montreal trading another defenseman. Gotta think they're getting one back at some point.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

MTL is more allergic to defense than we are.

 

[Tawnos]

Next year?

Yeah, but next years pick isn't as valuable as this years.

 

[GregSirico]

From the Habs twitter - The Canadiens acquire BUF's 3rd-round pick (68) in 2017 , in return for N. Beaulieu.

Maybe we can trade Staal to MTL now?

 

[Levitate]

wow that's a bad deal by Montreal

Beaulieu hadn't quite broken out the way they'd hoped but he's young and a puck mover and with the right coach could be good

 

[Boruto]

GMs agree Beualieluauleuai sucks as well. Everyone needs defensemen but the best deal was a 3rd rounder from BUF. Where is Holden with respect to Baueulieluaeuie? I'm way too biased against Holden to come to a conclusion. What kind of pick could Holden get?

 

[GregSirico]

Montreal trading another defenseman. Gotta think they're getting one back at some point.
