Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Trade Deadline edition

[Beer and Chips]

So what would Carey Price bring in a trade offer? We all seem to acknowledge that that the prospect pool is very low and the current core can't win in the playoffs so why not trade the universally regarded most valuable player we have? Unless we have a change of gm people think we have no chance for the next several years at least, so lets consider what Price could return in picks and prospects.

I didn't listen to the BobCast. Is he suggesting the Habs Fabbri in the context of a Pacioretty trade?

Yes in that context. That the Blues are probably unwilling to part with Thomas/Kyrou/Kostin so he threw Fabbri’s name in. But I don’t like the risk involved. Markov did come back successfully from the same type of double leg injury but he was never good because of his foot speed. Part of Fabbri’s appeal was his elusiveness.

Mark Jankowski is my guess....

Habs are not getting Jankowski. It’s probably Sam Bennett, hoping he can turn it around and play C.

I haven't watched much Flames hockey.

How does an older Jankowski have more value than Bennett when neither have done much at the NHL level yet?

 

[Kwikwi]

Jankowski Bennet (another pouliot) and Fox/Kylington.

they have no picks so nothing there.

Not enough star power in the making, only holes patching... with patch...

Jankowski has shown a lot of potential. He’s a PPG player in the AHL. Big centre for the Western Conference. Has been great on their 3rd line. They will lose Backlund this summer and he can possibly step in as a 2C.

I don’t care for Bennett, but he’s probably much more attainable for teams. Hasn’t lived up to his draft ranking and hype. Drafted as a centre but has been playing winger. Sort of a reclamation project.

A team won’t give a centre with the potential of Jankowski for Max. It’s hard enough getting a C prospect, you won’t get one that’s that good in the AHL and currently contributing in the NHL.

 

[Frenchy]

Lmao, Galchenyuk for Saad. I'll cry.

ouch

Well good for the Flames and Jankowski. If I remember correctly they drafted him higher than he was expected to go.

 

[groovejuice]

Game is against Calgary. I wonder who he's looking at.

Jesus, it's probably Nash. Rebuilding from the mortician down.

 

[David Suzuki]

dont imagine bergevin has to watch a guy who's been in the league as long as Nash IMO

It was rumoured at the time that the Habs were looking at Jankowski for their 2nd if he dropped a bit. His uncle was a scout for us at the time.

You are right.
Trading Jankowski makes no senses, they would open up a hole down the middle.

Sam Bennett makes the most senses but then again, he's not worth a lot....
Flames are probably looking for a RW too...don't really see a match here, at least not for one of Habs top players.

Bergevin might also be looking at Desharnais...

First of all, I didn't think a sarcasm smilie was necessary. But if true, yeah, why bother with any due diligence whatsoever? Nash is for quick sale because of the decline of his game. He's at best a pickup for the playoffs, but on good side, he's UFA this summer.

with Bergevin it's 100 percent necessary

The Sens just gave Dorion an extension after creating a similar mess in Ottawa.

Hehe okay. Can't argue with that.

 

[groovejuice]

Melnyk is certifiably insane. He's the Loria of the NHL.

 

[Adam Michaels]

At least his was a 3-year extension instead of a 5-year extension with a year and a half left to his current deal. But with Eugene Melnyk, a 3-year extension is a 6-year extension for other teams. So I guess it's all the same.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Maybe MB is at MSG to scout DD and Peter Holland.

 

[eklund the clown]

Wants Mcdonough back.Nothing would surprise me with Bergevin

 

[bsl]

Everything looks fine if Tavares sign here.
Remove him from your line-up and this team looks bad, really bad.

With Tavares I would keep A Shaw because he's better than some names you filled on 2nd and 3rd line.

Wasted typing. Please stop on the Tavares thing

Edit sorry that was meant for too legit not you.

 

[Skip Bayless]

It will be McDonagh for Pacs

 

[Milhouse40]

Marian Gaborik for Karl Alzner.....go for it or not?
Really don't know, both really sucks but Gaborik might retire...too much health issues.

 

[bsl]

Why would either team do this?

Yeah for sure. Calgary really wanted him & he wasn't going to be there for their second pick at 42. He was expected to go 28-40. He was taken 21st.

I remember in 2011 before the draft there were rumours about how much the Canadiens liked Boone Jenner. A lot of people on this board were upset at that rumour. Montreal had no 2nd or 3rd rd pick that year, but had three 4ths, so if they wanted him they would have to take him #17 overall. It would've been early for Jenner, but I was expecting him to be picked.

Then Beaulieu fell. In hindsight Jenner actually would've been the better pick, but Beau was a good pick at that spot.
