Rumor: Sean Farrell traded to the Ducks

[Runner77]

They shoulda thrown in Mesar.

 

[vokiel]

What if its like Farrell for Killorn and a pick?

We start the tank thread early.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Why would they trade a great ahler for future consideration? They'll get back another quality ahl player that can help the team.

Unless we want to clear up a contact space. I don't know how close we are to the limit.

Or if he wants a change of scenery

 

[Habaneros]

After everything that happened with Chara and Lucic, vs Montreal over the years ,Montreal actually tried to sign both of them to come play in Montreal after they left Boston....

So here we are with a rumor of Farrell to Ducks.....what will be in the deal.

Habs looking for a hard gritty forward.....who produces in playoffs...
Is Chris Kreider coming to Montreal.....

Kreider's favorite Nhl player growing up was Martin St Louis...

hard pass at this point, lots of money - didn't mind the idea of Trouba at one point though

If it was to happen Kreider to habs...we'd only actually pay him 4 million this season....he's worth that.

I was going to say that's a lot of smoke without fire but then i woke up and my appartement was full of smoke and i remembered the forest fire and closed my windows and went to bed again.

Habs only have 39 contracts and only 4 left to deal with (Xhekaj, Farrell, Bolduc and Szuber).

 

[Hannibal]

For Nathan Gaucher that would be solid.

 

[Goldthorpe]

I find it weird we got the news about Farrell without any additional details.

 

[Tyson]

So basically this is nothing but a rumor?

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Correct. The person who posted tweeted said it won't be made official this weekend

Are you saying it's Far-rell fetched?

 

[70Stang]

This sure feels weird. Is it a trade or not lol. If it is a trade it has to be Ducks trying to unload some money. Maybe a no trade came into play and its toast now.

 

[Tyson]

I hope Hughes stears clear of over aged, over priced players Anaheim is trying to move.

 

[MrNasty]

We must be involved in a 3-way trade with Columbus AND Anaheim

You just never know what Hughes has going on.
He is pretty creative.

 

[montreal]

Farrell has no trade value since he is unlikely to make an NHL roster of a team that's playoff bound, so why trade an asset for someone that you could just lose for nothing to waivers (not that I think he would get picked, but teams know they can just get him for free in October). I would assume this is just Hughes doing him a solid and getting nothing in return.

I'm just surprised it's the Ducks, they are the last team I thought would be interested in a small winger that's got no physical game. I thought a team like the Flames would make more sense, to me if he could just add 10-15 lbs of muscle, he would be an NHLer but how long will that take, if ever to happen.

I don't know man. The amount of money I'd have to spend on steam cleaning my carpet after every time I threw up on it from seeing him. I don't think it's worth it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Farrell is going to play on Anaheim’s top line because he’s all they can afford now.

I think there is a salary dump involved.

 

[montreal]

I think there is a salary dump involved.

that would make sense, they do need to free up cap space but the Habs don't have a lot of space either so unless a 3rd team is involved, not sure I see a fit there on who we would pick up unless other trades are being done before the season starts.

 

[morhilane]

I think there is a salary dump involved.

Killorn and Kreider are both paid over $6m, that would leave $3m for Xhekaj and Bolduc. Habs are past being cap dumping teams.

Unless Hughes thinks one of those players can actually help.
It would look like the desperation move we believe Hughes would never do.
