Would any of you undo the Romanov trade ?

[Canadiens Ghost]

I wouldn't undo it. Worth the risk and who knows, it could still pan out.
And for all we know, keeping Romanov would have made the Habs finish a couple spots higher in the standings and we lose out on Demidov.
I'm fine with how things ended up.

 

[Theodore450]

Indeed.

Kinda like if I could go back in time and be an early investor in {insert any number of companies} instead of putting a downpayment on my first house.

Unfortunately, time and decision making doesn't work that way.

At the time, it was a good decision. Hindsight doesn't change anything about that.

When your talking an about hypotheticals, then yes, you can obviously take the information you now have. We can confirm it’s a bad trade, and if we can go back in time ( still hypothetically) we would 100% undo that trade.

If you could go back in time and invest in Apple, you would. Your not gonna say, “well since I at the time it was a quality risk, and I’m aware of how it turned out, I still wouldn’t do it”

Nobody is arguing the risk or if at the time it was a correct move to jump on the risk. We are arguing if now, knowing what you know, you would undo it. And the answer is obvious unless your doing the mental gymnastics that your post tried to do.

But McFly, the Flux capacitator won't be invented for another decade, what do we do until then

Joking aside, the trade remains a good decision that had a bad outcome imo.

Obviously going back in time to get better outcomes is preferable to sticking with bad outcomes, buy that's a pointless exercise, as Marty found out in the sequels. Keep Romanov only for him to break his leg and retire while Kirby stays healthy and becomes a top 5 C for the Hawks would just keep you bouncing round in back to the future sequels for ever.

Good decisions then, nothing that has transpired has shifted that reality.

You got the inside scoop? Thought it was supposed to be built by 2023

 

[Mrb1p]

Kulich sure would look good on the 2nd line.

Nazar > > > Dach

 

[le_sean]

I wouldn’t do it for Nazar, I’d do it to have Romanov. Imagine offering Dach for Romanov now, you’d get laughed at.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

At the time of the trade it was understandable, if a little expensive. 13th overall is too rich for someone Chicago was willing to give up. They would rather start over with another prospect than try to salvage the former 3rd overall pick. I would definitely undo everything. We need a good top-4 D as bad as we need 2C.
I've given up on Dach. Before the season started a lot of writers said he'd had freak injuries, but the truth is he'll always be injury-prone. Useless man's version of Sean Monahan. Before his last two serious injuries, he was on a pace of 53 points. That's definitely better than what we've seen this year, but overall, those sorts of numbers were impressive back in 2014-2015.

Still, I'd extend his contract for a very reasonable price and lowered expectations.

 

[rik schau]

Nah, it was a calculated move at the time with the redundancy of Romanov. Just puy Dach on wing where he thrived with Demidov and Suzuki as center and move the other 2 with another high-end quality center. I would however not mind undoing a parcel of land purchased that was suppose to be high in minerla deposits that has yet come to fruition,got a bit wet on that one so far.lol

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

In Dach's case, the injury history was already there. So yes, you could have predicted that was a possibility.
Which is why he was made available in the first place.

As long as we don't get another Dach. Guy is biggest piece of glass in NHL history

 

[1909]

Nazar > > > Dach

Nazar was never in the plans. He was pick #13 that Chicago wanted for Dach. That’s all.

 

[Nicko999]

Soon to be added to the list if he doesn't play a fully healthy season... Reinbacher.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Was a big fan of Romanov so of course. Never understood the hype around Dach.

 

[Garbageyuk]

I dunno, that Frank Nazar guy who scored yesterday was 13th overall.

Got told by posters here during the game the other night that the Dach trade is still a good trade and that Nazar is too small for the Habs. Nazar then proceeded to light us up immediately after. It was like instant karma lmao.

 

[CrashOut]

Same..

Everyone says He is BIG. 6"4.

Doesn't mean shit when you play like you are 5"10 175lbs.

Dude has 100 hits in 60 games as a 6"4 center.

Bad on forecheck, lose every puck battle. No shot. Terrible.

Um.... no that's not what happened.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Obviously we would be so much better off with Romanov and Nazar going forward, but hey, shit happens. Was a move most of us liked when it was made and thought Dach could have been a solid top 6 for us down the road. Not looking good now

Nazar was never in the Habs plans. It was no-name pick #13 when the deal was done. Habs did not trade Romanov for Nazar, they traded Romanov for Dach.

 

[Team_Spirit]

They did not trade Nazar they traded the pick before even knowing who was there. IiRC Ostlund was their guy? He went 3 picks later. Still a good gamble.

Undo Sergachev for Drouin now I dig it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Come on man, he's not even in the NHL yet. Let's not go there yet.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Um.... no that's not what happened.

It is, although it wasn’t you that called him small - I believe that was someone else.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Nobody would say it's 'still a good trade.'

There's a big difference between making it at the time and making it knowing what we know now.

cant have romanov AND nazar... romanov was traded for the pick used to draft nazar... you keep romanov, you can't draft nazar

 

[Nicko999]

Come on man, he's not even in the NHL yet. Let's not go there yet.

He's been a part time hockey player since his "return". Need to see him put a whole season together.

 

[Kosseca]

I think that down the road mtl will be ok with the trade. Wont have secured a C, but a good W

prediction from me is that if Dach can come back and skate like before, we will end up with

Caufeild - Suziki - Dach
Slaf - new C - Demodov.
