GHT120 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Lindy Ruff to be named NJD head coach ... they need defence ... wonder what Habs could get for Shea Weber ... what would you reasonably want (i.e., Jack Hughes going nowhere)? Seems like a Ruff kind of player ... ***NOT*** saying to dump Weber's contract ... exploit a new GM wanting to make a splash ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don't think Montreal has any interest at all in moving Weber though it would be funny if New Jersey targeted him as an upgrade on Subban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree ... it was a "should do" not "would do" type of question Given that NJD were rumoured to want to dispose of Subban I would even consider taking him back as a small/secondary element of a deal ... would be very popular with some parts of the fanbase and (if rumours were true) add to the return ... returning to Montreal might rejuvenate/re-motivate his career for the last two years of the deal MB gave him (allegedly at molson's behest) ... BUT it is very, very, very unlikely MB would do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weber’s hard shot, goals by a defenseman, power play points (though I actually expect more from him there), shot blocking, and physicality aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Subban’s speed and mobility should begin taking a hit, though his breakouts and passing should remain strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (See below) I wouldn't take on Eriksson's contract (2 yrs @ $6 million) for all three of Kole Lind, Brogan Rafferty and Adam Gaudette ... especially in a flat cap world ... Broberg is a right-handed Ouellette, Kole hasn't done much of anything in the AHL in two years and Gaudreau played 4th line NHL minutes (although he had 4g, 8a on VAN's 4th overall PP) ... Kole and Gaudreau might be interesting in their own right (some would say typical MB targets) but if you are taking on Ericksson's cap hit it would (IMO) have to be in a Broeser deal ... Loui and Brock would free up almost @12 million for VAN ... enough to re-sign Toffoli (rumoured to be a priority) and even pursue another high-end UFA Maybe something like Habs #1 (assuming it is 9th) and Lehkonen for Boeser, Loui, Gaudreau and VAN 2021 first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Moving here from general thread Off the top of Mr. Potato's head: 1. Petry and Domi ($5.5M + $4M?$4.5M = $9.5M-to-$10M) to TO for Kapanen, Kerfoot and Nylander ($3.2M + $3.5M + $6.9M = $13.6M) and their 2020 1st round pick (if not Lafreniere) or Petry, Domi, Habs 1st and 2x Habs 2nd to TO for Kapanen, Nylander ($10.1M) and their 2020 1st round pick (if Lafreniere) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weber might be an interesting option for TO but don't see Bergevin trading him ... I would target one of Kerfoot, Johnsson or Kapanen to add further scoring depth ... think a couple of them are likely to be moved to create cap space ...

Trizzak Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not fully in love with this idea, but throwing it out there... If Henrik Lundqvist wants to play for one more season but NYR can't handle the cap hit, what about doing something like the Brooks Orpik trade a couple seasons ago or the Patrick Marleau trade last year where the Rangers send the Habs Lundqvist & Carolina's 1st round pick for a guy like Jordan Weal, and we buy him out immediately so he can re-sign with NYR at a more palatable salary? $5 500 000 cap hit for next season, $1 500 000 cap hit for the season after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 $5.5M + $1.5M for a late first-round pick? It seems like a lot, but if we have a lot of cap space ... but then why not just play him for next season instead of hunting for another backup goalie?

The assumption is Lundqvist is Ride or Die Rangers. They'll probably be a playoff team next year, and he'll want to be a part of that, but his cap hit will get in the way of it. Accept a trade, get bought out, re-sign at a lower cap hit without taking a financial hit. The Brooks Orpik approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the idea unless the payoff is much more than a first round pick (unless its this season's ... which it would never be) Lundqvist has a NMC, so he needs to agree to be dealt (which is where the concept of trade and re-sign may make some sense as an enticement to waive his NMC) ... also, NYRs have two young goalies who both had better seasons than Lundqvist ... unless they get a good trade offer for one of the youngsters I doubt the NYRs have room for Henrique next season regardless of cap hit .. Trading for Lundvist just to buy him out AND then re-sign with the NYRs is a salary dump that needs a significant payoff ... ***IF*** this were to be done, IMO the payoff would need to include (a) either one of the young goalies or (b) Tony DeAngelo or (c) K’Andre Miller or (d) Nils Lundkvist ... who the Habs would have to give and/or what else comes from the Rangers would vary with each option.

hab29RETIRED Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Rumour has it that Calgary is going to make the max offer to Taylor Hall and he may want to come home a la Tavares. The guy the local media pitchforks are out for is Gaudreau, but not really interested in him I think Gaudreau is good as gone, even if they have to sweeten the deal. the guy is be interested in is Monohan - who is also out of favour, but not nearly to the same extent. Given he’s 3 years younger has more term on his contract, would it make sense to move Gallagher, who I would be nervous about how long a contract to extend him for, for a younger guy who is fairly consistent- this year not withstanding. Say Byron and Gallagher for Monohan and Juuso Valimaki? the other team with cap issues and expectation issues is a edmonton. They could use the same two guys and have serious cap issues to get depth: dies the following make sense: Gallagher, Byron and Mete for Bouchard, Broberg, Raphael Lavoie , Jesse Puljujärvi and James Neal as salary dump. We really strengthen our prospect pool on D with a couple of guys that should be top 4 dmen and get two good scoring wing prospects. The other thought with Edmonton is dangling Danault. I think with both our cap room and some teams under achieving and being limited by cap space, there is a chance to add more young talent to complement A future core of KK and Suzuki. League is getting younger and I’d rather we got more skill. I love everything about Gallagher, but not sure I’d want to have him in $7.5-8m deal In a couple of years on a 5 to 8 year contract thatbwwd probably need to offer.

And he just put on a good show, for tradewise value, no? You almost always have to give up something you would 'prefer' not to, if want a good player back.
