Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Part 77

[Deebs]

Good, we can finally put that nonsense to rest.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Thank goodness.

 

[Licou]

Yeah this is insane, Bergeron would instantly turn the Habs into a playoff bubble team. This would be a fricking disaster.

 

[sheed36]

Yea, if he wants 5 years with Habs, I wouldn't sign him. I'd go 3 at most.

It would be more of a mentorship role. So when the young guys get more experience, if they're able to step up and play those big minutes, that is where you have Letang play a smaller role and eventually don't need him anymore as his deal is done.

If Price goes on LTIR, that will also help with the cap.

I was listening to Andrew Fillipponi from Pittsburgh sports radio on with Marinaro this morning he said the feeling around Pittsburgh today is that Letang is gonna sign with the Habs. Then said that he'd be shocked if Letang signed for less than 5 years and thinks he wants a deal that takes him to 40 years old and also thinks he wants a 50 million dollar deal.

Yeah that really was a lot of thinks from Fillipponi there and it sounded to me that this was just Fillipponi's opinion on what Letang could be looking for but if any of that is even remotely close to being true, regarding what Letang is looking for this summer, then no ****ing thanks to that.

Here's the audio from that Fillipponi segment this morning. The Letang talk starts about 4:35 into the clip.

Fillipponi: Feels like Letang will sign with the Habs

Andrew Fillipponi from 93.7 the fan in Pittsburgh, joins Tony Marinaro on the Montreal Forum to talk about the Penguins game 7 loss to the New York Rangers, the future of Crosby, Malkin and Letang and the NHL's hypocrisy.

Thank god Bergeron doesn't want to play in Montreal. He can stay in Boston till the end of his days. Him and his tainted Stanley Cup ring.

 

[tooji]

Handcuffing ourselves cap wise with another aging defenseman is dumb AF, esp considering that we will have expiring ELC contracts for Wright, Caufield, and potentially other rookies around that time.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Good that Bergeron doesnt wanna come here

Next is hopefully Letang

The only thing we need to focus on next year is one of Bedard,Michkov,Fantili

[Milhouse40]

It didn't make any senses for the Habs either.....if they wouldn't get Wright this year might be another story but with Wright, Suzuki and even Dvorak.....there was absolutely zero reasons to spend north of 6M for another center.

 

[therocket9]

If Price retires or is traded need to find a potential #1 goalie Tarasov stuck behind Merzlikins in Columbus should be a target Primeau might pan out but you need as many options as possible.

 

[McGees]

We need Bedard a lot more than old men Bergeron or Letang.
Stay the course.
Dump salary when possible.
Sign 1 year UFAs to fill gaps and flip at deadline.

 

[tazsub3]

You expected him to say yes I would love to become a hab to Boston media . Lol people read too much into those interviews.
Not that I think he would be a hab, but players talk to what media wants to hear more often then not

 

[themilosh]

I still think CC for Laff straight up would be a great trade (for both teams)

 

[yianik]

He wanted 5 years as well. Letang is obviously a very good defenceman right now, but will his play decline in the next 3-4 years as he reaches his late thirties, at the point where the Habs should be starting to compete.

And if we have any real good D, one will emerge as a No.1 D man.

Massive portions of this fanbase is ready to fire Petry into the sun after one poor half a season, I wonder what those fans would think if Montreal signed an older Letang for more money and, at worst, equal term.

Sounds to me that Fillopponi should start thinking less. As in a year or two less and $15M less. And if that is where Letang is at he should think less also.

I think it favors us tbh and I love Cole

 

[Habricot]

I think he'd prefer Ottawa if he's not going to a contender, they're closer to their opportunity window

He will go back in Philly, never wanted to leave.

That is not the right question to ask, the question is why would any of the two teams even think of having a discussion along these lines. U do not trade someone just because its cool so why would we do that in MTL and why would they want to do it in NY. I personally do not see any reason,

Josh Anderson for Tom Wilson

well - IMO I want to go with the bigger player (and potentially higher pedigree), that he is a hometown kid doesn't matter much to me but it is nice for the fans.

I can see NYR agreeing to this - not bc CC is better (per se) but that Laff has had a hard start in NYR, and they are already a big and rough team. Adding a pure sniper like CC (all American kid) would look good on them too.

this is why I see it as a win win.

You see Laf having it easier in Montreal? What if you get another Drouin situation, while CC kills it in NY? It’s safer to keep him and try to draft our own Laf.

[sampollock]

need a good winger to go with Wright.
Kent will hunt one down

 

[Colezuki]

WHAT IF! The Canadians are scouting Slaf and Nemec not to draft in lieu of Wright, but together with Wright.

Imagine the squeals of glee at the bell centre and from Goldenhands
