Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Trade Deadline edition

[Habs 4 Life]

Yep, incoming Marcus Kruger claim.

He plays center
He played for the Hawks
I'm betting 50 as well

 

[The Great Weal]

That would be an awesome return

No way that happens even with Babcock's massive crush on Weber.

 

[SlyIslands]

In before something something bargain bin ex hawk kruger blablabla

 

[Captain Mountain]

Hopefully 0. If Saad can't produce in Chi then rip in MTL

Eh, he's gotten some rotten luck. If the price doesn't involve futures, he's an amazing buy low candidate.

Brutal contract.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Brutal contract.

$6 mil for 3 more years after this with only a modified NTC in the last year for a 25 year old winger that drives possession and scoring chances better than the vast majority of the league? With decent defensive contributions. Doesn't seem that brutal to me. Its not like its worse the Drouin's or Galchenyuk's.

It is. He isn't producing a lot despite always playing with top players.

Saad is currently playing 3rd line, I wouldn't exactly call that playing with top players.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Kruger's "intangibles" may have amazing chemistry with Cap Space. I mean you never know until you try, right? RIGHT!??!

 

[MasterD]

If the Leafs are willing to pay the Price for Weber, I would have zero reservations about making the deal.



The same odds that I walk out into the woods and put a 12 gauge in my mouth.

That's unclear. Are you suicidal?

 

[Captain Mountain]

In this bad year for him, at ES, he's 1st line caliber G/60. With the lowest shooting % of his career. He's usually among the better ES producers in the NHL. ES being where Montreal is struggling the most. He's 25. If the price doesn't interfere with a rebuild or retool, you jump at the chance to get him.

 

[The Great Weal]

He was playing with great players throughout his entire career. He can't even do that anymore. All the more reason not to go for him.

 

[sampollock]

weber is going no where, if traded MB admits to a fail, so weber wont' go

 

[The Right Price]

Regarding off-season acquisitions, how about HV71's Lawrence Pilut? Puck moving D. He has 21 pts in his last 16 GP in SEL. Could be a potential bargain bin signing.

 

[Legend123]

A smart GM would. To trading Weber

 

[groovejuice]

Bergevin already has "FAIL" tatooed on his forehead.

The only thing we don't yet know is his level of desperation.

 

[NobleSix]

The Hab fan portion of me certainly is on the brink, but will only bite the bullet if MB is allowed to do another horrible move like trading Galchenyuk for Saad.

I'm really not sure that trade would be terrible (with the caveat being that I think Galchenyuk is going UFA in 3 years and wont re-sign with Montreal).

 

[Price is Wright]

He's desperate to keep his job. He's going to push for the playoffs.

It's more likely that Weber is moved in the summer. 18-19 his actual salary drops to $6M. Allows him to return from injury and look good before the season is over. And hopefully a new GM who doesn't feel guilty about pulling the trigger.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Shaw for Jenner would make sense

Maybe for us

I dont think they would pull the trigger on that one

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I kind of agree
I'm sure he still believes he won that trade
He will never move him. That's why it's time to fire him and have someone else come do the job that he can't do!

 

[danyhabsfan]

I'd try to get Mantha

1 pts in his last 9 games

Not like by the coach.

 

[Draft]

Shaw for Jenner would make sense

Jenner to MTL makes sense. Good in the dot, leader, still young, physical presence, potential for 20+ goals. I'm not sure if Shaw is the player to trade for him though considering Jenner is bigger, cheaper, and has higher scoring potential. If MTL added a significant piece to Shaw, I think it could be a good deal for both teams - Shaw is potentially cheaper, more experienced, playing better right now, and has shown himself to be an important playoff performer.

Shaw is for the playoffs and we're not making the playoffs.
