But sincerely, appreciate the trade suggestions ... it is one of my favourite pastimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrault is too expensive for a 4th liner, and WPG is at the cap limit. They do not have room to improve the team during the season or at the trade deadline. Also, their defense is thin and will be in trouble if they get injuries, specially on LD where they have Morrissey, Beaulieu, Forbort and Sbisa. I don't think those are elite by any means.

Not certain that Olofson is that much of an upgrade on Nogier ... Gustav's 59 games over 4 NHL seasons is technically experience but not IMO useful or in any way impressive ... but Jets do save $$$ so I could see them doing it ... but not certain what Habs get ... Is Nogier better than Fleury, Juulsen, Brook or Mete as a Right-side D prospect? ... Perrault is the kind of contract a team should be paid to take ...

PMAC Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think Winnipeg would do this in a heartbeat but it would be a disaster for mtl to pay that for Perrault. If it were Perrault and a pick coming with 1/2 salary retention then I could see it maybe but I don’t think even then it would be a good move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was if they struck out on adding any more players and if Winnipeg needed to cut salary, that would be a way to improve on the cheap. It'd be off the table now though.

alfredoh2009 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Here is an idea for a trade: To Montreal Anthony Mantha (RFA, $3.3M-$3.6M) To Detroit: Joel Armia ($2.6M) & Victor Mete ($735K), and maybe a 2021 draft pick Detroit gets what some consider a 25g RW at a lower price and an NHL mobile defenseman for a bit less than Mantha. An upgrade to two position for the price of one player Montreal gets a left-shooting winger, local francophone, top 9 player. It does not improve the cap situation for Montreal, but it helps balance the top 3 lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armia is a reasonable inclusion but don't think Mete and a 2021 pick (unless it is the 1st rounder) gets it done But why not go big and address the cap as well (Wings have space) and try... To Montreal: Mantha and 2021 2nd To Detroit: Armia, Byron, Weal, Poehling and a 2021 1st Armia and Poehling are longer-term value for Wings, Byron could short-term value as a veteran leader (Wings lose 5 of their 7 players age 30 and over after this coming season) and the 1st is a 1st ( of course WE know it will be 31st overall 😉 ) ... Weal is a dump Net $4-ish million gain in cap space for the Habs (allowing a generous [?] $4M-ish for Mantha) ... leaves space to go after some veteran 4th liners still riding the UFA carousel ...

If they're prepared to sign him long-term, it's going to start with a 5 or a 6. (He was qualified at $3.3M and would jump into the 4's on a one-year arbitration award.) You can make a case that he's a front-line winger; the cost to get him will be much more painful than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Any proposal which expects to get back a top-6 FW or top-4 D-man for an aggregation of bottom-6/bottom-pairing pieces is simply not realistic. Unless the other GM is named Milbury or Houle, spare parts don't bring back core players, no matter how many spare parts you throw onto the pile.

The most Armia has ever had in the NHL is 16 so there must be somebody else you are not mentioning. There would have to be something else thrown in to make this attractive for Detroit.

Agreed, I think it was Sam Pollock who said that whoever gets the best player in the deal wins. I think that it is compounded when the best player is a guy like Mantha who just turned 26 and is entering his prime years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would never get a deal done either, because you are always trying to fleece the other guys by offering up your 2nd rate product for their 1st rate product, this proposal is way off the mark for Detroit, even more so considering an intelligent GM like Yzerman is steering that ship.

Not trying to Fleece, I think Mantha has played top line wing because Detroit is such a dissater of a team. He is more of a middle-6 winger to my armchair GM eyes. Armia has some potential to score as much; althought Armia seems to be hurt more often than Mantha: 2017-03-30 Red Wings • Anthony Mantha fractured finger (out for season) 2017-12-29 Red Wings • Anthony Mantha undisclosed / groin injury (DTD) 2019-11-24 Red Wings • Anthony Mantha knee injury (DTD) 2016-03-08 Jets • Joel Armia lower body injury (DTD) 2016-11-04 Jets • Joel Armia lower body injury (DTD) 2017-10-27 Jets • Joel Armia undisclosed (DTD) 2018-04-27 Jets • Joel Armia upper body injury (DTD) 2018-11-08 Canadiens • Joel Armia knee injury (DTD) 2019-10-19 Canadiens • Joel Armia lower body injury (DTD) 13 hours ago, Commandant said: Detroit laughs and hangs up the phone.

I would combine what youpropose and what I changed in this replyt, to become: Mantha for Armia, Poehling (isntead of Mete), Struble and a 2nd in 2021.

Mantha's not a third-line player though. He's a second-liner at worst and he'd play in Montreal's top six easily as he'd go ahead of Drouin in a heartbeat. I think Detroit's asking price would involve Caufield and you'd probably have to include Byron and Armia in there as you initially did to simply offset enough money ($6.2M) to be able to sign Mantha and add a replacement for the league minimum since you're trading two forwards and only bringing one back. Considering Byron's a negative-value contract at the moment, there's probably another sweetener that would be required as well. That's what it'd take to get him in terms of trying to satisfy Detroit's asking price in terms of value and remaining cap-neutral. Armia and Mete aren't enough alone as he's not signing for just above his qualifying offer like you seem to think he will. Struble's a wild card (there's upside but he's a long way away from being pro-ready) and a second-round pick isn't going to move the needle much. Mantha is a core player - Detroit is going to want a core player in return, not some depth pieces and a flyer on a defence prospect that's 3+ years away.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Steve Yzerman is pretty sharp, looking at the list above reminds me of how bad he hosed Ken Holland in the Andreas Athanasiou deal. Holland gave up 2 x 2nd round picks for a guy who scored one goal for them and will not be resigned. That is not good value. OUCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was't suggesting they move in a "hockey trade" (although Byron has hockey value, just not cap value) but that if MB were able to make a mantha trade look to add on the get the Wings to take Byron and Weal ... absent a Mantha deal the Wings could still be a destination for Byron and Weal to move cap ... question would be at what cost. I really see no role for Weal ... I would hope (if Jordan isn't moved) that MB would explore is a more useful 4th liner could be signed for the $1.075 of Weals's cap hit that can be buried in the AHL (or less ideally).

alfredoh2009 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I was looking at teams _WITH_ some cap space that could take on one of the Hab's Contracts, and found a potential fit with MIN: To Minnesota: Armia($2.6M) and Poehling($925k) To Montreal: Joel Eriksson Ekk($1.5M) and of of the two MIN 2021-1st round picks It gives MTL cap relief and a 1st round pick next year while also getting an experienced center It gives MIN a local player in Poehling that may fill the lack of success Eriksson Ekk had. It also gives them a solid RW in Arma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
