Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Markov is close to retirement. We lose Beaulieu, we have nobody on the left side that's going to provide offence. We're not in a position to let him go. It would be like trading Gallagher for a defenceman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You gotta give to get. So NB goes to bring in a scorer (Yak) Use the other assets (Pleks, DD, Eller) to bring in a more reliable Dman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 100% agree. I don't want to trade Beaulieu. However he may be the only chi to bring an elite top line forward. I would not trade him for an aging veteran (i.e iginla). It should be someone who has a long positive future in front of him. I would have done pleks+Beaulieu+picks for Johanson. The reason people talk about moving Beaulieu is that he is the only asset we possess that could tempt a team to send us back a young FW with top-6 potential. If we trade Beaulieu, we will absolutely need to sign a top-4 d-man as a UFA. Ever since Commandant demonstrated that the UFA pool contains many more FWs than D, I've given up on the idea of trading Beaulieu. We're better off just signing a UFA forward or two and keeping Nate.

habs rule Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Defence too hard to come by. Keep the one you got. Forwards are easier to acquire. Nate the great stays. PK stays. Every one else can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My predictions for Habs trades from now until the deadline: - Dale Weise is traded for a pick and a prospect Bergevin really likes - Alexei Emelin waives his NTC to Pittsburgh, who we trade for Chris Kunitz and a pick. We buy out Kunitz in the summer. - Lars Eller is traded to the Dallas Stars for a pick and prospect. - Greg Pateryn is traded to the Detroit Red Wings for a really decent prospect - Tomas Fleischmann is traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a fifth round pick.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Dallas is hot to trot for a defenceman, preferably one who is not on an expiring contract. I wonder if Markov wouldn't tempt them just a wee bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Markov wouldn't tempt them just a wee bit? According to Dreger, not a single GM has asked or mentioned Markov. He's not on anyone's radar, either because Bergevin won't trade him or they have no interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Bergevin trades/attempts to trade his UFA's Weise, Fleischmann. I dont think he'll find an acceptable offer for Eller. Fires Therrien in offseason which is a huge win for the organization, players and fans alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habinator33 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think only Weise and Fleischmann get traded for picks and that's it. You might even see some weird AHL swap but I am not expecting any veterans under contract to be dealt until at least draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sounds about right, but think we all hope for a bigger cut to roster and biggish return for say a Markov or Eller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmethead Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I call a trade with Edmonton. They were rumored to have a bigger deal lined up when Kassian went for Scrivens. Both teams are aching to make a move just to prove to their players that there are reprocusions to their lack to professionalism and devotion. Yak forJuulsen or McCarron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Edmonton likely wants defencemen between 23-27 (older the player, better have a long term deal) who is a top four defenceman with size and grit (Chiarelli said he wants to be bigger and tougher). They are not going to be as interested in rookies when they have Nurse and Reinhart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Here's a list of ten under the radar names that I think the Habs might target at the deadline. http://www.habsworld.net/2016/02/potential-under-the-radar-trade-targets/ (For the record, the original draft of this article actually had Danault in there - I've substituted another player in his place since they've already got him though.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I feel Bergevin really missed out on his coup-de-gras with Johansen. That was his opportunity. Too bad CBJ didn't waiting until the trade deadline. Habs 1st rounder would have been a mighty chip to bargain with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad CBJ didn't waiting until the trade deadline. Habs 1st rounder would have been a mighty chip to bargain with. Columbus took Seth Jones. Beaulieu isn't near as good as Seth Jones. They wanted a ready made #1 Dman, and they got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other offer on the table was Jonas Brodin for Johansen, so the Habs had zero chance of getting him. Worth mentioning that Johansen and Nashville have sucked since the trade, and for those that care, Johansen is as soft as a Cosmopolitan magazine and a scented bubble bath.

Four goals in twenty three games, and the team's gone 12-11. Just like they drew it up. You're just mad McCarron's already made the team in his first pro year. What a player!
