Proposal: Toronto - Montreal

[Habsfan2731]

No Michalek is just trash.. so having him on our roster would be bad.

Why would we trade for a bum when we have guys like Lehkonen, Hudon, Reway who are pushing for a roster spot? Think your proposals over in the future and don't try to justify pawning off a worthless player.

Albeit...

Say DD for Michalek...

Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Radulov
Michalek-Plekanec-Gallagher
Shaw-McCarron-Andrighetto
Byron-Danault-Mitchell

That wouldn't be so bad, MM & TP are together with the Czech team too. We get better down the middle.

To Montreal:

Milan Michalek (50% retained)

To Toronto:

2017 2nd Round Pick (Washington's)

Gives Montreal that LW option they have been looking for, who already has chemistry with Plekanec (as shown in the World Cup) At $2 million MM should be a solid 15-20 goal scorer given a top 6 role, which is great value for Montreal.

Gives the Leafs an extra middle 6 forward spot to the Leafs young guys to work for. Michalek is a good veteran presence, but he won't be on the Leafs roster by the end of the year so I'd rather a young guy who will be on the roster get the development time.

The pick from Montreal could go to lower rounds, assuming the amount retained goes down as well.

i knew i shouldn't have clicked on this thread

Tbh I dont like MM at all, but I'm fairly confident that he'd put up 20 goals playing in Montreal's top six. Being centered by Galchenyuk or Plekanec I could see 25+.

I feel hes the most likely vet to be traded because he is actually appealing, he can still play.

Lehkonen>MM
why would we would play MM instead of Lehkonen is beyond me. He can play. He's having a fantastic rookie camp showing. He backchecks, skates, passes, can score, hes really impressive. And his shot is a thing of beauty.

Agreed. Michalek is basically fodder for a cup team looking for depth at the trade line. And unless he starts to put up numbers again I can't imagine teams are going to pay a 2nd for him.

If you want us to take on your garbage than it would be Milan Michalek (50% retained) for DD.

 

[Thanatos]

Why? DD is better.

True.
And then some more truth.

 

[boredguy]

If Michalek gets traded it'll be at the deadline after he shows he can still play. If he sucks Leafs just eat his contract for the season.

 

[kingdok]

If Montreal wanted a veteran to fill up the top 3 lines, Alex Tanguay would be a Hab today.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Hey.......We'll take him back in Ottawa for a 4th rounder. Michalek is still a serviceable 3rd liner.
