Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread V: Kane you believe it? Edition

[FloJack]

If we're comparing Myers vs. Bogosian...two players who have a lot of potential but have hit somewhat of a wall, I much prefer the prospects of Myers finding his game in Winnipeg than the other way around.

Bogo is from New York though and that's something to consider on the change of scenery angle. I'm not sure of him myself but the coming "home" factor could add some motivation for sure.

 

[Seb]

I don't know but you must assume Bergevin pulled out of this deal the moment Kane went down for the season. He probably told the Jets well talk at the draft if Kane is still there. You would have to think Eller + prospect + high pick

No point for us, we need help now.

Buffalo, they don't care about this year.

That's likely, there's no point for the Habs to trade for an injured Kane, while Buffalo has all the reasons in the world to do so.

I think Eller + Prospect + 1st would've been fair value, but I'm more than happy it did not happen. Glad Kane isn't coming in Montréal.

 

[Michelangelo]

Buffalo won that trade.

No question in my mind.

Yeah ok, they got a headcase and an injury-prone defenseman.

I also think Buffalo won.

Myers = Really overrated and his cap hit is a problem.
Stafford = who cares? been on the block for years.
Armia = Totally outscored by others Sabres prospects in the AHL
Lemieux = decent piece but he's most likely a 4th line sparkplug
Late 1st = They already have their 1st and another late 1st(STL or NYL)

He hasn't reached his potential, but outside of Myers' breakout year a few seasons ago, he hasn't been anything special either

Agreed on Myers, I just like his potential to find his game in a new environment way more than Bogosian.

But that's just me, i'm not a big Bogosian fan at all, so perhaps my view on this trade is somewhat skewed

 

[Richiebottles]

Rumor of Enroth heading to Dallas... thank god he's out of the division if it happens

Who would play Goalie for Buffalo ?

And why do you want him out of the division so bad ?

He isn't that great...

 

[Agnostic]

Man I wonder what Bergevin was offering if he was still in the mix at the end.

Why would Bergevin be making a trade for a player not returning until next year?

 

[Richiebottles]

Yeah ok, they got a headcase and an injury-prone defenseman.

Seguin says whats up and Bogo is under rated.

I know nothing of Armia and Lemieux but can we have a more honest projection of 'em, please?
Who are their equivalents on the Habs?

 

[Chfan]

Because he owns us.

 

[Richiebottles]

Cause we need a top 6 W for the next 6 years or so.

 

[Gros Bonhomme]

We can't score on that guy at all. No idea who's going to play goalie in BUF. Sportsnet just mentioned the Enroth to Dallas rumor so w/e

Neuvirth

Because he plays like Roy against us!!!

 

[Tabarouette]

Seguin says whats up and Bogo is under rated.

but that's a gamble, not everyone will do what Seguin did.

plus Seguin went from a big city to a semi-boring city, Kane went from a boring city to another boring city.

 

[sampollock]

no idea why a buffalo trade gets reviewed so much on this board

 

[Stone Cutter]

this deal is gona drive the price of player up by quite a bit in the next few days. It takes 2 or 3 key trade asset off the market. Buyers have less choice now.

Late 1st = They already have their 1st and another late 1st(STL or NYL)

I see it as: top 3D with a unique skillset. He will be insulated by Enstrom and Trouba.
Stafford (with salary retained): good pick up for their top 9 and let's Big Buff go back on D.
Armia: former 1st rounder who's still pretty young who's having a nice comeback year in the AHL. Could be a top 6 fwd.
Lemieux: solid third liner in the future. Putting up a great year in the OHL.
Late 1st: always good to have and the Jets have some good scouts.

Montreal is a top club this year, no way Bergevin is even thinking about it.

 

[Seb]

1) It's a blockbuster
2) Habs were in the mix
3) There's not much else to talk about

 

[Miller Time]

wow... sucks for us.

Sabres add two pieces that will make them that much harder to play agains, that much sooner. Didn't even give up any of their prized young assets/picks in the process... nicely done.

also sucks that Bogo moves. The pool of RHD that would be a fit for our top-4 needs moving forward AND potentially available just got smaller. He was likely the best candidate in terms of fit/availability/price.


wonder if this influences MB's conversations with Wash on M.Green. He is UFA-to-be, so could wait for summer and make a pitch, but bringing him in for the playoff run would help both our iimmediate needs and give him a taste of playoff time in montreal (which could help make signing him a bit easier).

 

[Tabarouette]

because DD scored a GWG yesterday and he's the 3rd star in the NHL this week, so instead of admitting he had a great week we HAVE to talk about something else

 

[Saintpatrick*]

1) It's a blockbuster
2) Habs were in the mix
3) There's not much else to talk about

Plus they're in our divison

how were Habs in the mix?

 

[CHarlie]

how were Habs in the mix?

All in our dreams that all

 

[Seb]

how were Habs in the mix?

It was reported that Montréal and Vancouver were in discussions for E.Kane
