They would be rentals at the deadline. Montreal should be in win now mode maybe it wouldn't take a first and a prospect but to me it'd be a good fit.

The deal would be next year's trade deadline, and I don't think Bergevin would resign DD lol.
Plekanec Hudon and a 1st, how would that do assuming you sign Hudon this summer.

No one wants a pair 36 year olds. Only way to trade them would be to split them up, and even then it would be hard.
I recommend you get your calculator out. Montreal is almost at the cap. Twins make 14 between the 2 of them. DD and Turtleneck boy make less than 10. Gotta drop another 4.5 to make it work. And no chance the Nucks retain on them.

Not against it, but the problem is that the Habs just can't take them without sending cap dump in return.
Now, Montreal don't have "gross contracts", but someone like Desharnais would have to be part of the deal. And it wouldn't be enough.

Nvm, Habs are adding a 1rst. A late first tho. I would take that gamble if it means losing BlackHoleNec. The sedins, like Markov, might be old but are still productive. At 14M, its an easy no. But at 3.5M per twin, yeah sign me up. We are only exceeding 1M with this trade cuz somehow Pleks is paid 6M. lmao

Fallin for Dahlin?
Sedins aren't washed up garbage. I'm not sure where people are getting that impression. Daniel has a 8 game point streak going right now and Henrik still makes a lot of elite passes. I'm sure if the canucks had any threat on the back end (aka serving up pucks to Weber rather than the crap we have now) you would see the Sedins have better numbers. We are a quarter of the way through the season and the top scoring defenseman on the canucks roster has 2 goals and 4 points. It doesn't help that the stupid coach was anchoring Sbisa/Larsen to them on offensive zone starts for a long time.
They aren't elite 1st liners anymore but could still be a great 2nd line for a contender. The amount of disrespect these guys are getting is ridiculous and offensive. If you don't want them that's fine because I honestly wouldn't want them dealt away to any team that isn't going to appreciate them. I've had the pleasure of watching these guys for the past 15+ years and it would feel empty watching a canucks game without them. Even in their mid 30's they still do stuff that makes my jaw drop.

Not interested on them. They are clearly not the same anymore. I dont think a team can win in playoffs with both them and I dont think that a GM would get rid of that much good youngs players or picks for them
Nucks must trade them separatly. It would be easier to find a fish. I would take a look at Daniel

Some of you people are ridiculous 
The sedins are still low end 1st line players who slow the game down and control the pace of the game in the offensive zone like no others.
At 36, I'd still expect a solid package.
Sergachev+DD/Emelin+1st for Both Sedins 50% RETAINED
Oh, and enough with the terrible playoff players bull****. Sedins are close to point per game players in the playoffs

That's not happening. Sorry but why is it that you only offer them to us? Why not the Rangers, Penguins etc..Some of you people are ridiculous

Thoughts?
I think it's insane.
The Twins at their age aren't worth much - at least not that much when you consider their cap hits and the fact you have to take both of them.
Honestly, retaining salary would help but I don't think it will help in getting younger talented NHL players and 1st round picks.
I could see the Twins being traded as pending UFA's at the deadline to a contender for a 2nd round pick or something - but once again there are 2 of them so it makes such a trade so much more difficult even from the team that acquires them.
I suppose my point is that the Twins have pretty much no value at all and any trade involving them would be for their benefit - not the Nucks...
It's not like you can build around the Twins or can acquire them and expect them to anchor a young team - no now they're nothing more than "help" for a team trying to win a cup.

We saw him heading straight for the mountains
You have to remember that NHL teams tend to develop their own draft picks er their own players, why would TB take kids that are up and comming and send them to the AHL to make rooom for the Twins?
Tampa Bay is a pretty young team - I wouldn't see them as being a fit at all from a growth perspective.
They aren't unproven rookies and have a track record, so HF logic decrees they are utterly worthless and not worth cap dumps or a player that has an outside shot to play in the AHL in his career.
We've done this before, it doesn't end well. I'd be fine acquiring Thornton or Zetterberg if our team was a move away from dominating our division and Detroit or San Jose were in selling mode, but no, if a player is worth older then 25 they're useless to hockey and to society and they should probably stop wasting our oxygen.
