Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread- Start of a New Season

Iggy to MTL rumors floating around

http://www.tvasports.ca/2015/11/10/iginla-a-montreal

Iggy to the Habs sounds great. Duchene even better lol.

I wonder what it would take to get Duchene. Probably way too much.

 

[Dominator13]

He's not worth it imo. Too slow and expensive

I think you're slow somewhere else if you think Marleau is slow. Guy's been a rocket on skates his whole career.

 

[Tuggy]

Iginla is still a 30 goal scorer in this league and would fill that top 6 RW spot...

Only problem is he's signed through next season at 5.33. But if he's still scoring 30 goals, that's ok.

I'd be willing to move someone like DLR.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I've wanted Iginla for years and would take him in a second for the right price. He'd put this lineup over the top and add some much needed size and muscle to our soft playoff top 6.

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Iginla
Eller - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Fleischman - Desharnais - Weise
Byron - Mitchell - Smith-Pelly

Markov - Subban
Emelin - Petry
Beaulieu - Gilbert

Price
Condon

That's an amazing looking lineup. Deep everywhere.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I want nothing to do with Duchene. Iggy on the other hand would be a great fit on the team.

 

[That Habs Fan]

I have been saying Iginla is exactly what this team needs for a while now...would love to bring him his first cup in a Habs jersey!

Pacioretty-Plekanec-Iginla
Eller-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Fleischmann-Desharnais-Weise

That's a cup worthy top 9.

I would move JDLR, Gilbert(cap dump) and a 2nd for Iginla no questions asked.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Shoulda got him 3 years ago. Oh well, Iginla has always been one of my favourites so I'd still be very excited if we got him now.

 

[Jaynki]

We have everything to get this deal done. Go MB! Iginla would be a perfect fit, tough, leadership, goal-scorer, proven winner!!!

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Ghetto + 1st + Gilbert for Iggy @ 15% retained would be my offer.

 

[MasterDecoy]

Ghetto + 1st + Gilbert for Iggy @ 15% retained would be my offer.

im sure other teams could outbid that, but i'd be fine with that price.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's not quite what he used to be but Iggy is still a producing vet with a solid reputation across the league. He could bring us that little extra playoff mojo that would take us to the next level .

 

[Le Barron de HF]

im sure other teams could outbid that, but i'd be fine with that price.

Doesn't he have a NTC tho? That could affect his value big time. The cap staying put could too.

 

[Runner77]

I don't see Bergevin buying into Iginla with another year at 5.3M left on his deal unless the Avs retain salary and take on offsets. He's an option but there may be more bang for the buck to be had depending on which team becomes a seller by the deadline.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I think that in years where you're firing on all cylinders, you have the best goalie in the world, scoring on all lines and depth that we haven't had in YEARS, over $2.6M in cap space, a full cupboard of prospects and picks and a 2 year window to win, that now is the time to strike and that anything is possible trade wise and to expect a big acquisition or two at the deadline to get us over the hump and into the Cup finals.

I think if nothing is done, that would be a huge surprise and not vice versa. The time is now and I expect us to over pay this time around to get the players we target.

 

[oohhkev]

read somewhere that after his stint in boston iginla couldnt see himself playing for the habs so he chose to go west. dont know about you guys but i want players who are starving to win the cup here, not just willing to pot in a few for a nice salary..

id love to know why berg keeps passing on jagr time and again. that guy would most definitely boost us during the playoffs

 

[JusticeBeaver]

Iggy or Marleau would be great.

Trade deadline is so far away thought, just...do it now!

Dreams of a Cup can always change someones mind

 

[le_sean]

Iggy would be best. Big RW that shoots and scores a lot. He's also hungry to win.

We also have a spare second round pick this year. I would be very surprised if at the very least one of our top 60 picks weren't moved.

Not sure why we'd screw with a top line that's so productive. Iggy should be with Chucky.

 

[odishabs]

Iggy wouldn't cost as much as everybody here thinks. I'm going to assume it would cost a second and a B-Level prospect like Ghetto, DLR, or Reway.


Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher

Eller - Galchenyuk - Iginla

Fleischmann - Desharnais - Weise

Flynn - Mitchell - Smith Pelley

Don't forget Semin and Kassian

If that was the asking price, he'd have been traded already. He's going to go for a lot more than that at the deadline to a desperate playoff team who needs a RW with experience and want to make a long run at the Cup i.e. Habs.

I'm sure there's ongoing negotiations. In my mind he'll get a low first and a B prospect, or a low second and an A prospect. He's not a star any more. He's a very solid top sixer at the end of his career.

 

[Yoshidas Island]

I truly don't think that Iginla fits our playstyle here, I'm not sure why everyone suddenly hopped on the hype train after that one rumour that was floated around by a (according to Avs fans) less than reputable source.


Whilst I fully agree MTL needs a Top 6 winger, I just don't think that Iginla is the type of player that "fits" our system. Like we were all saying yesterday, we need someone like Hudler, Boedker, or even Stempniak to truly fit into our mold as a system. Iginla's playstyle is far too "western" centered for him to be truly successful in our system. We revolve around speed, that's something that Iginla is lacking at this point in his career.

You might say that he was successful in Pittsburgh and Boston, but truthfully Pittsburgh plays a possession system over more of a speed system (IMO), and Boston plays a system you all know full and well.

I'm honestly hoping that Bergevin doesn't go for a player like Iginla, and I truthfully don't think he will be, but there's obviously a good chance I'm wrong, just my opinion.
