DON Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 How good a young LH d-man would Gallagher command in a trade one for one? No, i dont want #11 dealt & I dont think he will be dealt...just wondering out loud, as Habs top picks coming along are mostly forwards and Habs are in big need for a top pairing LH d-man, that wont be coming from farm system in near future (Brook, Fleury are RH) and dont see any suitable UFAs coming up.

Commandant Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He's got a dirt cheap contract given his production, so it would need to be a high level prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Beaudin or Ty Smith-like quality? Or would he demand more of a advanced prospect? Gallagher on-pace for 34g season, if he gets that. In offseason would a young top-pairing d-man be fair swap?

Neech Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 What would it take to get Ottawa's pick from Colorado? to Colorado: Weber 2nd rounder to Montreal: Ottawa's pick Ian Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So possibly 2 top ten picks is tantalizing. But, not a chance in hell Aves are giving up on possibly of adding Hughes, nor want huge contract or older d-man. Petry would be more reasonable one to trade, but cant see Habs basically giving up on season by dealing him, unless nose dive on this road trip and have bad run in Jan.

John B Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I agree with Don, Petry would be a more likely target for the Avs assuming they are looking for a RH defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I still hope that they trade Petry to one of these bottom-10 teams (I've crossed out teams that are probably not a trading partner): CH gets: 2019 1st round draft pick + Right-D prospect from one of: 31 Los Angeles 30 Chicago 29 New Jersey 28 Arizona 27 Philadelphia 26 St. Louis 25 Florida 24 Detroit 23 Carolina22 Ottawa 21 NY Rangers 20 Vancouver 19 Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 But why does a lottery-bound team give up potentially a top-three pick (depending on the lottery) for Petry? Sellers don't sell their first-round pick for a win-now asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other younger teams like New Jersey, Philadelphia, Florida, Carolina, Vancouver may benefit from Petry's experience and decent play as they wait for their young core to come into their own. With Petry's modified trade list, I have no clue which teams are on his list, but getting a top 10 pick (potential top 3 lottery pick can be protected) could be a win-win.

They're not that far out of a playoff spot. Depends how they feel their team is going to progress next year. I can see Dallas or Vegas in the west being interested as well. Habs would have to take a hefty contract back to make it work with Dallas. They pretty much don't have any cap space. I could see Pittsburgh and Toronto being interested in the east. Again the Habs would have to take back a big contract to make it work with either of those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA is in sell mode, Chicago is saving their money to go after Panarin, St. Louis doesn't have the payroll flexibility to do it (and are also believed to be in sell mode) and Minnesota is already spending over $26 million on their back end. They're not going to want to add another $5.5 million to upgrade their third pairing (as Petry would probably slot in behind Dumba and Spurgeon). As for the other teams, New Jersey could be a fit in terms of a spot for him but they'd be nuts to trade their first rounder for him considering it's looking like they're a bottom-five team. Philly maybe would have some interest but I think when Fletcher realizes that Scott Gordon isn't going to turn the team around, they'll start to sell. Florida doesn't have 2nd/3rd rounders already so they're not dealing their 1st. (Something with Petry/Matheson could make sense though.) Carolina is beyond loaded on defence and has no need at all for Petry, and Vancouver's already said they're not dealing future pieces. There's a reason teams that are far out of a playoff position at the trade deadline don't become buyers and deal their first rounder away. That's not about to change for a couple of years and a bit of Petry. The only teams that would offer up a first rounder for him are playoff/contending teams. If a rebuilding team happens to want his services, it's probably a draft-day move involving more established younger players as there isn't much value in adding him to a non-playoff team midseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great trade chip I've seen multiple reports out of Chicago suggesting that Bowman has no intentions of adding significant payroll beyond this season because they will be going hard after Panarin. They might have enough to pull it off too (though they'll be in cap purgatory once again if they get him). Petry is off the table for them as a result. The Dumba injury might force Minnesota's hand but given their long-term commitments on the back end, going the rental route may make more sense for them. I don't see why New Jersey does that trade. Petry takes them from being a non-playoff team to a non-playoff team. Why would they give up a potential top-five pick to still miss the playoffs? Arizona's going nowhere with Raanta likely out for the year so giving away what looks like will be a top-five pick makes no sense for them. Philly - doubt it but not entirely impossible (who knows what the marching orders are from the top?) Florida could make the money work this year but they'd be putting themselves in big cap trouble for 2019-20 without shedding some money off the books for that year. Vancouver - again, Benning has already said they're not moving futures so they're off the table. Dallas doesn't have the cap space to take Petry on so the Habs would have to take someone back (probably Methot). They'd make sense as a fit though as they expect to be a playoff team. However, Heatherington's a non-prospect (his value is around Lernout's level as someone that has cleared waivers) so I'd aim higher on the secondary piece. I understand the argument for trading Petry in the next year or so. I don't entirely disagree with it either. However, the market's going to be limited as non-playoff teams aren't going to risk giving up a high draft pick (even with 1-3 protection) for someone who wouldn't make them a playoff team. If the Habs want to get a first rounder for Petry, it will be a late one with the second piece arguably being the more valuable part of the return. Alternatively, they'll use him to fill another hole (RD for LD, player for player swap) which appears to be more of the type of move that Bergevin's willing to make.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 If Petry goes, it will be to a contending team willing to sacrifice picks, prospects, or young assets in order to significantly bolster their blueline for a deep Cup run. No other category of team will want him. Petry has really impressed me. What with last year and this year, he has found a way to raise his game to a high level with consistency. Earlier in his career he'd have a great three months and then regress. It's fairly rare that a guy 'hits another level' at age 29-30, but he seems to have done it. He is now one of the most under-rated d-men in the league and would be an extremely valuable pickup for a contender needing a legit #2 d-man. At $4 mil he is excellent value as well.

Maybe even pull a swap of 1st rounders in 2020 to sweeten the pot so they don't loose 2years of 1st rounders. (edit): something on their end would need to come back like a 3rd in 2020 if not a lottery pick or something, idk maybe if 1st ott lottery then we give em a 2nd, if not lottery then they give us another 3rd round. Does that kinda make sence? I think a team like Ottawa can use the 1.5mil above pay cap hit to hit the cap floor and maybe keep this low low team thing they wanna do.
