EMELINATOR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 No way we trade Chucky (unless Avs are giving us MacKinnon) which probably has a 0.5% chance of happening lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The writing is on the wall with Galchenyuk. I guess Bergevin's wall said trade Subban though, so who knows. Anything could happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REV-G Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I think if we want Duchene, trading Galchenyuk for him doesn't make sense to me. If we want to improve significantly would we not be better off trading Beaulieu, a 1st and two prospects, while refusing to include our 1st round pick from last year. I think I would bite the bullet and give away Scherback and McCarron instead of giving up Galchenyuk. I know that seems like a high price but I think it would instantly move us up with Washington and Pittsburgh ins terms of strength down the middle.

Scherbak really not worth much at all and a bottom six centre would also be very easy to part with. But, that might get you Hanzal or some other rental, not a Duchene or something of real value.

REV-G Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 So if we were offering Beaulieu and our 1st, what could we add to get Duchene without giving up Sergachev? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Gallagher maybe. But, really Habs don't have a lot to offer that makes sense, that several other teams can offer, other than Beaulieu + 1st + roster player and/or a top prospect. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/HockeyBuzz-Hotstove/Best-trade-match-for-Matt-Duchene-and-the-Colorado-Avalanche/187/82746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 You better believe we're not getting a player like Duchene without giving up Sergachev. Losing Barberio makes it harder for us to trade Beaulieu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Barberio makes it harder for us to trade Beaulieu. Barberio had zero effect on what happens with Beaulieu. Even if Beaulieu did go, it would he with a pick for another puck moving D-man. This d-core has been so shit as it is. There's no way Bergevin thins it out anymore than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Don't think losing Vinny Barbarino will impact Hab deals. Defense has been very good to crap, seems a lot depending on how Petry or Beaulieu are playing; with lots of lazy turnover or give aways, or Petry is on his game and Beaulieu keeps it simple, limits the cute little plays he tries and focuses in his own end. Maybe both need to rush the puck more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ya, it's weird with Petry. He looks so good at times, then plays like shit. Especially in his own end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petry and Beaulieu appear to be erratic by nature. I love Petry when he's on his game, but inconsistency has always been a knock on him, and at his age, that's pretty much what he is. Beaulieu may still be in the "learning" stages and could eventually evolve into a steady performer, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDriveFor25 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I could see Burrows for DD and JDLR.. Cap is about the same and doesn't seem like DLR is part of the bigger plan.. Gives you Burrows for one playoff run.. an upgrade over DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Meh, not interested in spending an asset to tweek the bottom lines. if it comes for basically free like Nesterov, I'm fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really want to build our franchise around a Yashin or even Pavel Bure type (or Jagr, even if he's Czech), a guy who has some unbelievable seasons but gets everyone pissed off with him, alienates teammates and fans, goes in the tank unpredictably, etc, etc.? Don't get me wrong - I'm not anti-Russian or anything of the sort. But surely we want to fill our nucleus with Saku Koivu types - bona fide winners - not erratic loony tunes. Which is not to say I wouldn't make the trade. But Malkin's mental state is worth bearing mind. It's not raw talent alone that wins Cups. (Remember Richer?) hahahahahahaha Best post ever.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Actually, that seems like a reasonable post. 11 years ago, with many Russian players having 'issues,' and Malkin acting erratic, it wasn't crazy to raise the concern while also saying we shouldn't rule out a trade for him. Hindsight is, of course, 20/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
