Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Trade Deadline edition

[MarkovsKnee]

Here’s a hypothetical scenario. Say the Habs win the draft lottery, would there be a package that makes sense for the Habs to trade that pick? Say on draft day Buffalo says will swap #1 picks and also add Mittelstadt and Reinhart...would you be tempted to bite? Here the Habs would get two young centres and could draft a dman with Buffalo’s pick.

Interesting idea but I would not want to send Dahlin to Buffalo & help their rebuild. I would consider that type of trade if we pick after 6 though.

 

[Weber Fan]

Bennett and one of Fox or Valimaki for MaxPac and i'm good...

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.

Beaulieu wasn't a bad pick looking at his skill level and toughness. Some guys just don't have the mentality to succeed at the highest levels.

I think the Habs were seriously looking at the 33rd pick for Jankowski, but ended up taking Collberg then Thrower with the other 2nd.

Except for Galchenyuk, that draft would have terrible had we not got Hudon late as well.

 

[The Great Weal]

I would love Tkachuk

Another team that is not talked about much but has a ton of assets & picks is Philadelphia. They have 2 firsts thanks to the Schenn trade. Some decent D prospects & forward prospects like Frost, Rubtsov, Lindblom, Ratcliffe & Strome. They even have some college guys doing well like Wade Allison & Cooper Marody.

You have to think they're a team that wants to make the playoffs this year after missing so many years. Pacioretty would help with their 5 on 5 scoring.

I would think they would mind to send Jori Lehtera as well.

Yeah it's true it actually makes a lot of sense. They also need some help on D... I think they might like a guy like Schlemko too. It might be a bit early for them to give up futures, but getting a guy like Lethera as a throw in could make it really interesting. He is a good player who is not fitting in very well in Philly..[/QUOTE]

I wouldn’t touch Lethera with a 10 foot pole.

 

[Tim Wallach]

Too bad Max mailed it in in Philly last night.

 

[WinterLion]

A bunch of injuries around the league.... this is good news... trade them all!!!

 

[WinterLion]

Has his game dropped off that much?

 

[mariolemieux66]

I wouldn’t touch Lethera with a 10 foot pole.

Even as a cap dump?

 

[WinterLion]

Nevermind... yeah I guess I haven't watched him in a while.... haha

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Who's the better prospect between Fox and Valimaki?

 

[nhlfan9191]

Even as a cap dump?

I thought his contract ran longer then next year. I guess if a return is really good, this guy would be a good tank player. He’s brutal.

 

[le_sean]

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

Yes I think a lot of people shook their heads at that pick and now it’s looking really good. Kind of like Borgstrom for Florida.

 

[le_sean]

Valimaki. Flames also have Rasmus Andersson who is a good D prospect.

 

[Roke]

Valimaki. Flames also have Rasmus Andersson who is a good D prospect.

And Oliver Kylington. Andersson in particular is a bit of a fancystats darling as far as the limited public AHL data goes.

Forgot about Kylington. They are all RD though except for Valimaki. Still would love to have one of them.

 

[Habs Icing]

Wants Mcdonough back.Nothing would surprise me with Bergevin

Juulsen, Brooks and Mete for McDonagh. That's a move The Idiot will make.

That's the purpose and i really hope we do the right thing.

He'd be a cap dump, which Habs can afford to do especially if we can get a higher end prospect for taking him
. MB has said he'd take bad contracts for futures. Well, Lehtera is exhibit 1. On a team that would like to dump him, needs/wants the cap space & has a lot of good prospects & draft picks to get it done.

Lehtera has one more year on his contract. You can keep him as the 4th line center for one year or buy him out at the end of this year. $1,666,667 for 2 years. Habs can afford a buy-out on him.

The Flyers (as usual) need a goalie like nobody's business. Price would be our best bet with them, but I doubt he waives to go there.

I'd dangle Lindgren, if that's what it takes to close a deal.

Why that? I mean why thid 2012's prospect Jankowski is becoming suddenly a hot sexy panda. We talk about trading our best player and people act like this guy a bullet proof solution on our tops lines. Valimaki is a solid base but
