IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 22 hours ago, Commandant said: Ok, without even debating the PK/Weber trade (which i still say his a loss cause of age). here are some losses. - The 2017 trade deadline... Andrighetto for Martinsen, Draft picks for Ott and Dwight King. (Didn't address team needs, gave away assets for players who didn't add to the team's offense), minor loss - Andrew Shaw for 2 second rounders (Alex DeBrincat and Chad Krys). I like Shaw but he overpaid. - Acquired Stefan Matteau, traded Devante Smith-Pelley (small loss, but a loss) - acquired Parenteau and a fifth for Briere (Briere had 1 year left on his deal, Parenteau had 2, we ended up buying out Parenteau's second year). - Overall he wins more than he loses, but no one is perfect and those are losses IMO. I did say “won almost every trade he’s made” with that said, -andrighetto trade was a loss The shaw trade was made simultaneously with the Eller trade almost as if a 3 way deal -andrew shaW, ikonen, Harris, houde for Eller, debrincat, Krys Probably still a loss today! id also add that eller was already replaced in the line up by Danault at the previous deadline in a lopsided deal making him easily expendable -briere was a UFA signing who retired the same year as Paranteaus buyout, Paranteau also went on to have successful seasons in TOR after the buyout. Also note they essentially finished that season with same amount of points with PA playing almost 10 less games! Also the5th rounder included in the deal (Bradley) although the pick was a bust the compensation was there for the cash buyout. I’d say even Smith pelly was a definite loss but I’d also add the trade to get him was just as much a win!! basically all this does is strengthen the case that MB wins almost every trade he makes!

I will only go as far as saying that he is ABOVE average, and if he has another goof summer this year he may move into the top-tier shelf for NHL GMs. But he not there yet.

Andrighetto had not a spot on Habs, Aves sucked and had a spot for him and he has put up a whopping 16g in 108gms, so i would put in "who cares" catagory for a borderline NHL forward with all of 3g this year, likely bound for KHL or back to chocolate land very soon.

I would have rather played Andrighetto on the 2017 team that couldn't score goals over Martinsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Given that when Byron is healthy... one of Shaw/Byron ends up on the fourth line. then the rest of the fourth liners include Deslauriers, Thompson, Weise, Peca, and Hudon. Plus there is the possibility of bringing in Poehling after the NCAA season. I don't see why we'd get any more 4th liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habopotamus Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Brayden Schenn would be a good target. His name was around the Habs during the summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumpano21 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Man.... craving some trade action. Eat some other teams salary problems, sign a top 6 fwd or LHD with term. Whatever it is I’m game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Use our cap space and take on a bad contract to get an asset.. Oilers send Lucic (40% retained) and Puljujärvi to Montreal for Hudon and a draft pick?? is that Lucic contract too bad to take? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the oilers would retain 40% though. i think it would be a worthwhile gamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lucic agrees to nullify his NMC I might do this deal minus the draft pick on Montreal's part. Of course we all know that he isn't going to do that.

I don't want the years on the Lucic deal I'd rather a shorter deal like taking Callahan from Tampa for something good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyhasbeen Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I propose a firing not a trade. In 2004 we acquired Yuppi from the defunct Expos. What has he brought us since we hired him? Did the Expos ever get a championship with him? He is a disgrace to the uniform and I think it is past time to cut the cord and our loses. He holds zero trade value so waiver him and send him to Laval or just buy him out ad be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I wonder what it would take to get Tolvanen out of Nashville.. young Finnish winger, put him beside Kotkaniemi for years!! Could we justify trading Tatar + (I know he's been great for us.) Is there a cap dump we could take from Nashville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I've seen his name come up twice in the past few days but I would be disappointed if we traded Tatar. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
