If you want a centre that bad just draft Kotkaniemi. Sure he won't be ready next year, but he's got such a higher ceiling (and ELC years). You are correct, good sir. The 3rd + Patches is just too much. What worries me is that Buffalo is going to die on that hill...which would be too bad, because ROR, while no superstar, is just what the doctor ordered for this organization. I hope MB can talk them down to a 2nd-rounder instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope MB can talk them down to a 2nd-rounder instead. Hell, I’d say just the 3rd alone is too much. Unless we are getting Draisaitl back, no way I love the #3. unfortunately MB is locked into the core of Weber and Price. But if we were to put a package together for one of them, or potentially even both, I think we could get the centre we need to actually build a lasting contender. price+Weber+2nd from Washington for Draisaitl+Klefbom+Edmonton’s 1st+Talbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) McGuire said he knows that Habs are in on acquiring O'Reilly; but, he said Sabres unlikely interested in Pacioretty. Sounds scary to me that they might give up 3rd pick and pay him $7.5/yr as a #2 centre. Other tidbit was that more than one team asked him about and seem interested in Philip Danault. https://mynhltraderumors.com/nhl-rumors-which-teams-would-be-interested-in-ryan-oreilly-which-teams-looking-to-trade-at-the-draft/2018/06/21/ Edited June 21, 2018 by DON add labrun bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I’ve been thinking about trade proposals involving Danault the past few days, such as one that I came up with involving King’s prospect/3rd line center Kempe coming back the other way. The problem is that right now he’s the only legitimate “pure” center we have who is capable of playing in the top 6. If we trade him, it should be for a center but we lose one going the other way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Very strange to lose Danault when he is pretty much the only NHL-quality natural C in the entire organization. Even if we get a legit top-6 C back, it bumps the hole at C further down in the lineup. That is, admittedly, an improvement, but still kind of puzzling. Why does it seems as though teams have no interest in our best players? Galy, Patches...these guys seem to evoke zero enthusiasm, or so we're told.

My reasoning for being alright with Danault being dealt is a bad one. I’m tired of seeing him in the top 6. I admit it’s not the greatest reason nor do I think the team will actually move him.

nihilz Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The ONLY way I move 3rd for ROR is if they eat some cap. And I'd want their 1st in 2019. My friend at work was telling me about some second part of the Chucky/Domi trade involving 5th overall. Did anyone hear anything along those lines?

xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 O’Reilly for Pacioretty = bad trade by Buffalo O’Reilly + 31st for 3rd = bad trade by Montreal O’Reilly for Pacioretty & 2nd = bad trade by Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMELINATOR Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Jake Muzzin name has been mentioned . He is a quality LH d-man . I would imagine Kings would have to add another piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see at the deadline if a team trys to trade for him they try and work out a extension. The team that trades for him now Will have a full year of him so no need for a extension.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have a strange feeling that nothing significant is going to go down. It seems weirdly hard to move Max Pacioretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It makes him a better asset to trade for with an extension on his contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 they have to move a few LW, Pacs, Domi, Lehkonen, Byron, Hudon, Deslaurias and I'm sure i'm missing someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
