TheDriveFor25 45 Posted June 18, 2018 How bout 3 and Schlemko to Detroit for Larkin, Cholowski, and 6. If Montreal is set on taking Kotkaniemi they acquire a couple of assets and still likely get their guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Montreal is set on taking Kotkaniemi they acquire a couple of assets and still likely get their guy. The Habs would take that and run - I don't know why Detroit does it though. They give up their top forward plus another first round pick in Cholowski plus the 6th pick to move up three spots. There isn't much of a difference between 3 and 6 so why would Detroit give up that much to move up? I think even if you took Larkin out of there that Detroit may be hesitant to do that. You might be able to convince them of 6+30 for 3 but I wouldn't hope for more than tat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDriveFor25 45 Posted June 18, 2018 I’m just hoping there is some team(s) out there very high on Zadina and willing to overspend to get him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfredoh2009 110 Posted June 18, 2018 Let's try this for RoR: Scherbak, DeLaRose, Alzner & 62nd overall for Ryan O’Rielly Buffalo gets our 3rd line center, a RW with good upside potential and a 2nd pair LD. They need to take a bad contract n exchange for ROR's contract It improves them and it finally gets us a top center. Zadina would backfill Scherbak's points and has higher ceiling. DLR's spot would be filled by Danault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metallica 48 Posted June 19, 2018 Why do people think other teams are going to take Alzner in a trade for there top 6 player????? I know a lot of people want to dump Alzner and his contract but come on now . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They get a fourth line centre (de la Rose wasn't the third line centre for most of the year with the Habs), an underachieving d-man on a long-term deal, a prospect with some upside (but not a top-liner) in Scherbak, and a late 2nd for a proven centre. I get Alzner's inclusion for cap reasons but Buffalo will want at least one legitimate core player in return plus a top prospect (Scherbak probably doesn't cut it), not a collection of spare parts.

Trizzak 866 Posted June 19, 2018 Ryan O' Reilly? Next year's 1st (top 10 protected), Toronto's 2018 2nd, Nikita Scherbak, and Andrew Shaw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metallica 48 Posted June 19, 2018 We're not blowing up the team so guys like Shaw, Alzner, weber wont be traded and is Price is (Bergevin meal ticket) so he wont be traded. Pacioretty maybe and Gallagher maybe since those are your only 2 best trade chips that both don't have any NTC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swap Shaw for Pacioretty and BUF says yes. I would probably say yes too, this team needs a centre so bad.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at what they gave Colorado to get ROR. It worked better when it was Galchenyuk instead of Scherbak I hesitated to include Petry so instead I added Alzner. it's a stretch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had seen something the other day (I think from LeBrun) that said the trade doesn't impact Montreal's interest in O'Reilly as Buffalo had no interest in Galchenyuk.

For starters, Bennett spent the majority of last season on the wing. Yes, he had a 54% success rate at the draw but he took an average of three per game. His success rate the past two years as a centre was just 46.1%. He was moved to the wing with the hopes that he would struggle less there. As much as Bennett hasn't lived up to his draft billing, what motivation does Calgary have to move him for a collection of spare parts? Scherbak is a decent prospect but not a high-end one, Reilly has limited trade value considering all he was worth a few months ago was a future 5th, and a second-rounder is no guarantee to be successful either. They're better off keeping him rather than deal him for depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're better off keeping him rather than deal him for depth. If Bennett isn’t what they expected and has become a spare part, they’re getting three for the price of one. If if there is a player they like in the 2nd round, maybe they do it as they have no picks in the first three rounds. If a player with a high grade from them falls, they might be more willing to make a trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metallica 48 Posted June 20, 2018 I wouldn't give up on Scharbak without giving him a full season in the NHL to see what he can do. Give him that 2nd line spot on the rw leave him there and see what you got. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDriveFor25 45 Posted June 20, 2018 I still think there’s a trade to be had with Calgary, possibly the Rangers as well. Not sure if they’d move Skjei, but him, Hayes, and 9 for Pacs, 3 and some other piece(s). I’m hoping for something big on Friday night. There has to be a team that really values Zadina or Dobson or Tkachuk.. some team willing to pay. MB needs to find that team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
