nihilz Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I've always thought that a blockbuster between Montreal and Florida would've happened by now. For the obvious Bergy/Tallon connection. I really don't recall any trades that came from this previously promising aspect of MB arriving as GM. Maybe one involving a young local dman. Besides this, I think it would do wonders for the Florida franchise. Having ex-Habs on a team that has such an influx of Quebecers during the winter. I really don't know exactly how much it would change things. But if say, Pacioretty Byron Lernout & Lindgren are starting for the Panthers. Aaand Pacioretty becomes Captain.(Super-duper-stretch) I personally think this sells more tickets in Florida. So, what mega-deal with Florida is good for everyone involved?

There have been a few trades between the two teams since Bergevin came to the Habs...just none of the particularly relevant variety. January 14, 2013 - Habs trade Brendon Nash to Florida for Jason DeSantis (the AHL rights had already been swapped a few months earlier) June 30, 2013 - Habs trade their 2013 7th to Florida for their 2014 7th July 5, 2013 - Habs trade Phillipe Lefebvre and the 2014 7th they had acquired earlier to Florida to George Parros March 4, 2014 - Habs trade a 2015 5th to Florida for Mike Weaver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meller93 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I mean think about it, a 2013 for a 2014 7th rounder one for one? Has to be among the biggest risks in the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I was putting the sarcasm on heavy, but am I correct in saying Montreal took Evans with that pick? Could be among the most significant 7th for 7th swaps in memory truthfully. If Evans becomes a regular third liner and Weegar a steady bottom pair d man, the trade actually is pretty important, my ignorant joking aside hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Habs actually traded Florida that pick back five days later in the Parros trade (and they selected Hugo Fagerblom, a Swedish goalie who isn't panning out).

Neech Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What do y'all think of this: Weber Price to EDM for Draisaitl Lucic Russell Talbot We take on two bad deals to finally land a 1C and our future albatrosses end sooner. I'd love to not take Lucic back but I can't see a way around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d do that deal in a heartbeat and have been proposing a deal like that for the last two years, when we probably could have gotten a lot more back without having too take on bad contracts. Only thing I’d add is try to get klefbom back as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that, I want some sort of young player/prospect included. Given that the Habs have thrown in the towel on contending within Weber/Price's primes, I no longer have any compunction about trading them, myself, but we have to trade them for hope for the future. Price and Weber are not 'albatrosses.' They are core pieces for any team with an eye on contending right now, and on the trade market we need to think of them as such.

Likely two free buyouts like last time. We could get out of two of those deals at no cap cost and it would turn into Weber/Price for Drai/Talbot.

You're surely right...although exactly why it is so unthinkable is actually a harder question to answer. EDM needs top-end goaltending and defencemen: the former in particular is what stands between them and contention. Price and Weber deliver this. Habs need young C and/or D. RNC/Dreisital/Klefbom deliver that. I haven't crunched the numbers, but I doubt the cap hits are way off. The only real reasons the trade is unthinkable is that EDM must be happy with what they have, or else think they can get to the promised land without this kind of bold move - or else that Price wouldn't waive his NTC even though this puts him much closer to Anahim Lake. (MB's ego may be another factor, but that is not a 'real' reason, it's a bullsh*t reason, assuming it to be relevant). It's one of those proposals that reminds me of the old Marleau-for-Koivu rumours from way back when: an idea that makes fundamental sense based on mutual team needs, but it just seems to be beyond what the respective organizations are capable of contemplating, and so never happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm still 100% convinced that when Mike Smith's deal is up in Calgary, they will make a massive pitch for Carey unless he has another bad season. It just makes a lot of sense. They have a very complete team but are lost in net. Parsons and McDonald look like they won't be starters. Going big on Price makes sense for them. Calgary has a ton of centre prospects and is willing to give up first rounders for what they want. Habs could take Brouwer and Frolik to make space and flip them. I just see Price wanting out and Calgary being a comfortable destination for him, and the return being enough to feel like it wasn't a salary dump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price and Weber are 'future' albatrosses (though we might be living in that future with Price). Getting out of 10.5M at the goaltender position requires somewhat of an overpay, but sure if we could get a better defender instead of Russell I'm all for it. In this trade Draisaitl is the future piece - he's 22, and fits in a timeline with Drouin, Domi, and to a lesser extent Gallagher. But you're probably right that NHL GM's hardly ever consider this kind of drastic shake-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well, if anyone is going to trade Draisaitl, it's Big Pete! I think I'm of the same mindset now. Trade Price & Weber along with Pacioretty, and do this thing right. Get more picks for this draft coming. So that the prospects are all in the same development process. Having Kotkaniemi, Poehling and co. are wonderful. But another wave of solid prospects could set this roster up pretty nicely in 2-3 years. Hey maybe we're wrong and they'll go Hasek & Chelios-esque into Canadiens lore. ..but I have a reeaallllyy good feeling about Lindgren. Part of me really wants Price traded for a monumental return. These next 2 years are basically botched. Give Lindgren the starts, let him get experience for when the roster fills out properly. I'd love him to sign a 6yr 2m per. Just to be a solid backup, but I think he's too good for that, and he knows it. If anything I'd be trying to gouge Minnesota for thier local Lindgren. I'd be ready to move on from Dubnek very shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
