Trade Rumors and Proposals XII : Someday, we'll pass BabeWatch's numerals

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Just baiting garbage.

That is the correct answer!

 

[SnapVirus]

2nd round pick and a scrub nhler

2nd round pick and a scrub nhler

Wow. I didn't know other Gms had such a high opinion of him.

 

[Et le But]

Another grinder probably, gotta collect em all.

 

[Mandala]

Well,


Eller is our 3rd line center or perhaps our left winger on our 2nd line.

He is important to our team as we hope he will perform again in the playoffs. Unless Bergevin gets a player that is young, not a rental, and signed for a few years he won't be traded.

If Bergevin wants to trade west I can see these players:

Mikael Boedker, left wing, Arizona (if ready to play after the surgery)
Dwight King, left wing, Los Angeles
Brandon Saad, left wing, Chicago (one can dream) or Andrew Shaw, Chicago, center
Ryan O'Reilly, center, Colorado

Eastern teams:

Mike Hoffman, left wing, Ottawa (good offense, but body too lean?)
Nazem Kadri, center, Toronto (less stong physically, but better offense, attitude?)
Jeff Skinner, left wing, Carolina (take a chance that he will rebound)
Josh Bailey, left wing, New York Islanders
Derek Stepan, center, New York Rangers

There are some options but honestly nothing amazing. Maybe a good prospect not yet playing in the NHL would give a better trade value.

I think if MB did a trade train starting with Eller, we could get Crosby for him. You know trade Eller for A, trade A for B and so on and so forth.

You mean the paperclip to a house in moosejaw or something like that?

Naw, you couldn't get a return better than DD, after all he's a 1st liner ya know

 

[Sterling Archer]

Hopefully enough to trade him for a contributing member of the team or a high draft pick who can.

 

[Mandala]

of all the players I listed above, Ryan O'Reilly seems the most likely candidate.

 

[CH25]

dd for picks cmon bergy

 

[GallySquared]

I for one would love Marleau (as someone said in the last thread) however, he is getting up there in age....also signed for 6.77 M til 2017 which he'll be 38

I really wanted Sharp or someone like Simmonds... dreaming I know.
Knowing MB it will be some random player that no one saw us scouting, ala DSP. So let's go with someone like a Sedin.

 

[Habs Junkie]

dd for picks cmon bergy

This would be great! Addition by subtraction!

 

[WakeUpNHL]

1.5 Desharnais'

 

[hardcorehabs]

There will be a trade on Friday. Book it

 

[Bieber fever]

David "Diamond " Deharnais for Vinny Lecavalier

 

[Brainiac]

Less than what this board expect, that's for sure.

 

[prairie hab]

Does Edmonton do anything of note at the deadline other than move Petry? Or are they convinced that their young core can finally get over the hump?

McTavish has to know he will never land choice free agents. If he wants to add veteran experience with talent, he needs to trade. I am sure they have received many calls about Hall, Eberle and Yakupov, but I have trouble gauging how serious they are about potentially moving some of these guys.

I think Eberle could really provide some offensive balance so teams could not key on Pacioretty. Eberle's defensive commitment is improving and I think he would relish playing in a big market. Cost would be high, but we have some defensive pieces they may like. MacT likes Emelin and they also would probably want Tinordi as part of a deal. One of our top 6 forwards would also have to go.

What would be the cost for Eberle?

Emelin Eller 2015 1st and 2016 2nd for Eberle & Petry

 

[CH25]

David "Diamond " Deharnais for Vinny Lecavalier

as bad as DD is Vinny is even worse these days

 

[Team_Spirit]

bring back the Gallaburger!

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Marleau isnt coming here. He has a ntc and told sj at the beginning of the year he does not want to leave. Same with Thornton.

 

[loudi94]

What would be the cost for Eberle?

Gallagher would have to be on Edmonton's "must" list.

 

[lou4gehrig]

So the Kings got Sekera?

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Depends on how much salary Montreal retains.

 

[Never]

Probably a 3rd.

 

[Draft]

I'm thinking the Habs might pick up Matt Calvert to shore up the offence a little. He's not a big time scorer, but he's a very intelligent hockey player and would fit in really well alongside Eller on the 3rd line. He lacks size (5'11), but he plays hard and is good defensively. He's an RFA after this year. Lawless reported the cost as being 2nd + depth forward. Kind of a Matt Read, or a refined C.Thomas, type of player that provides secondary scoring and good versatility.

Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Gallagher
Pacioretty-Desharnais-DSP
Calvert-Eller-Weise
Prust-DLR-Bournival

I dunno, it's something like this, adding a lame defenceman, or the Habs go after something big like O'Rielly.
