GDT: Trade Deadline 2017

[Adam Michaels]

I would be so dissapointed in vrbata...

I wouldn't be disappointed. But I would be a little underwhelmed if he's the big deal of the day. If he comes here and there is a bigger deal later today, I'm all for Vrbata. Well, I shouldn't say I'm all for him if there is only a bigger deal later. I still like getting him regardless.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Do you have that stat for the period since Julien was hired? Interested to see if it's changed at all, although I do know it's a (much) smaller sample size.

No numbers, but from recollection it reversed a decline that was occuring under Therrien. More effective exits and entries is the biggest change. That, and a PK going from putrid to effective.

 

[Hannibal]

You haven't even seen what we've given up
And already disappointed

Price will be high

 

[nilan30]

And not good offensively.

So he's got three things going for him

 

[Bell Centre Hotdog]

Good point, but are we looking for more shut down, bottom 6 guys right now? Who are 40 years old and UFA at the end of the year? Why give something up for that? Doan is OK, but it would be a lateral move at best. Plus, for the role he would be used in, as a shut down guy, I think Plekanec is the smarter player, faster too.

I'm saying make a package for Doan and Vrbata for Plekanec + minor pieces?

 

[Adriatic]

Apparently Sean Couturier was pulled off the ice from Flyers practice. Big and a centre which are probably two things Bergevin is interested in.

Would be awsome, huge upgrade over Pleky. A good match-up center with size and still young.

 

[Zorba]

Vrbata alone will not address the hole down the middle. There's no chance in hell the Habs can go anywhere the way we're built at centre
If he can't upgrade there then don't bother wasting picks on a guy who won't make a lick of a difference

 

[void]

Vanek to Florida

 

[Shaw65]

 

[The Nightman]

Vanek to FLA?

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Beaulieu and a 2nd for vrbata

 

[BatVader]

Vanek to Florida apparently for a 3rd

Sorry, I do not. I know that the Bruins were #1 in possession this year under Julien though.

 

[Rapala]

Hope you're happy with Ott, Davidson, and Benn!

That's all we're getting.

C'mon man we got Nesterov too!

I agree. Paying for a rental like Vrbata (depending the price) is nothing substantial unless some bigger needs are addressed.

 

[Milhouse40]

Vanek to Florida for a 3rd round pick

 

[The Nightman]

Vanek for a 3rd. wow

 

[Team_Spirit]

Wait FLA is making the playoffs?

 

[Le Tricolore]

Beaulieu and a 2nd for vrbata

That would be terrible. I would not give up Beaulieu for a rental.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Wow I would have done that Vanek deal from MTL pov.

 

[Agalloch]

I knew it. Vanek wasn't worth a 2nd round pick. I think Bergevin didn't want him back... been there, done that.

 

[donghabs98]

I hope there's a trade in the works because Vanek for a 3rd is a deal you gotta take

 

[Shabutie]

Wait FLA is making the playoffs?

They're on the bubble.

 

[Bieber fever]

Habs might be the biggest loser st the moment. A team that's all in with a bad hand

 

[habdynasty]

Vanek to the panthers. I guess this is old news lol
