Is anyone going to give up a 2023 unprotected first for him?
I’ve been proposing this for a while now. Habs got way too many wingers and Oilers will try to accommodate a Poolparty trade and need a replacement.
2 cap dumps for 1 cap dump+young top 9 player is pretty one sided and the small pick/mid-range prospect doesn't compensate for it imo...as mediocre as he's been, I wonder how badly Holland wants to shed the PoolParty issue...wondering if HuGo could make a move here for him and rid ourselves of some dead weight that other teams who think they need size might covet:
To
LW/RW Mike Hoffman
LW Joel Armia
Some small pick or mid-range prospect
To
RD Tyson Barrie
RW Jesse Puljujarvi
...while I have no faith whatsoever that PoolParty becomes a player even remotely worth his 4th Overall draft standing, he might just end up a good 3rd line big body who can at least drive possession and learn to use his size more to his advantage...at worst, we trade one disappointing 1st Rounder on the left side for one on the right...

Yes, that’s what the report is alluding to. The language would be completely different if he just wanted out. But this is hammering home “Montreal in two years anyways”
Keep it simple:...as mediocre as he's been, I wonder how badly Holland wants to shed the PoolParty issue...wondering if HuGo could make a move here for him and rid ourselves of some dead weight that other teams who think they need size might covet:

Tavares and Gaudreau took less...not sure they took a discount.There have been lots of UFAs who took less to sign with a team they want to play for. For example Tavares could have got a lot more in San Jose but wanted to play in Toronto, Gaudreau could have got more in Calgary. Hopefully PLD is the same if he wants to play for the Habs.
Keep it simple:
Hoffman and a 4th
vs.
Barrie
We don't need more wingers unless they will be impact players.
I am stating that we give CC and Gallagher FOR Dubois and WPG 1st '23 (unprotected)Just hang onto Gallagher for now. There should be better opportunities to move him down the road. It would be insane to give away a talent like Caulfield to dump that contract.
I cannot see the Habs finishing outside the bottom 5 next season. That 2023 first, in a stacked draft with its cost control, is too valuableto give up for PLD. Just because he wants to play here doesn't mean the Habs should overpay to acquire him.

Those are 2 different things.
Hoffman is 2 years older and slid a bit last year, otherwise I would agree with you....if it's just Barrie, Hoff is more than enough compensation...just openly wondering about PoolParty...
true.. the future is always uncertain.And yet the year they both were in the playoffs, Caufield outperformed Dubois easily.

How is Chaz an average prospect???Fairly reasonable? The Islanders give their 1st line center for Anderson, a late first and an average prospect? How the f*** does that make sense?
It's actually not totally crazy but Gallagher won't waive his NTC to go to Winnipeg, so why are we talking about this?I am stating that we give CC and Gallagher FOR Dubois and WPG 1st '23 (unprotected)

Not interested in Puljujarvi, doesn't move the needle and we have a ton of wingers now.
What?let me ask you this: would you trade Gallagher to WPG for their 1st '23? (unprotected)
Is this a trick question?true.. the future is always uncertain.

If Barrie can't be useful in Montreal, don't just forget the 4th round pick, forget the whole deal....so did Barrie, though, and he's no longer useful at all in Deadmonton now that Bouchard has passed him in the depth chart...
Barzal alone is worth more than anyone of those players and picks. Habs completely hosed in this trade proposal.
woah... this isnt what arizona is doing... we're getting a solid 1st line C or LW back - different player than CC yes, but not nothing.. AND, we have the opportunity to pick up another CC at the draft next year - possibly Berard with a little luck....to hopefully grab another...Caufield...if we're extremely lucky...naw, I don't wanna be Arizona North, thanks...

This does not in anyways hurt our tank, or stifle our rebuild. plus we are getting 3 1st rounders next year (all unprotected)
well, before you dunk on my trade - CC for PLD, you have to include the 1st WPG gives us for Gally..Is this a trick question?
edibles. i dont smoke..I want some of what you're smoking! Damn!
