dlbalr Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Philip Danault and a 2018 2nd coming back Montreal's way. Montreal retains 30% of Weise's salary in the trade. http://www.habsworld.net/2016/02/habs-trade-weise-and-fleischmann-to-chicago/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Decent return. My guess is that MB took a later 2nd instead of a third this year or next. Or it's possible that Chicago didn't have the picks from their many deadline deals over the years. Philip Danault...ahh, I'll have to see him play. One career goal in 33 regular season games, .5 PPG in the minors, 6'0 200 lbs. Sounds like most of the roster as is. I'm not sure where he fits in, though he'll probably get an audition this year.

Danault has been a regular for Chicago for most of this year (he missed a bunch of time early with injuries). He'll surely be up with the Habs the rest of the way.

kaos Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Kinda dissapointing. But its something I guess. Is Chicago just going to trade for everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Danault was a solid defensive player on the Hawks fourth line. Have to remember he didn't get many minutes on the Hawks, I'd like to see what he can do with more minutes and opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim.on Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Admittedly I have never seen Danault play and I know basically nothing about him but based on looking at his numbers and TSN bio I am disappointed. Weiss would have been an ideal player to fill a spot on the third line. Maybe after a brief chat they figured it was going to cost way to much. If he wasn't injured, Mtl should have thrown in the third member of that line as well, since they started the season so strong together.

hab29RETIRED Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Underwhelming. 2nd rounder from Chicago is like a 3rd rounder anyways, would have preferred picks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Underwhelming. 2nd rounder from Chicago is like a 3rd rounder anyways, would have preferred picks now. I'm impressed they actually got a 2nd. I didn't think they would. I thought Weise would get a 3rd, Fleischmann a 5th. This trumps that, even if my hypothetical returns would have been 2016 picks.

Guest Stogey24 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I loss interest in Weise. Forgot his role alot on this team. He may do well in Chicago though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I like the trade. Second rounder for a guy that cost us Raphael Diaz plus a 23 year old that was formerly a first round pick in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I like the trade. Second rounder for a guy that cost us Raphael Diaz plus a 23 year old that was formerly a first round pick in 2011. Exactly. Not to mention Flash was signed in camp to a pto. Smart signing. Good return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett's Magnatones Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I loss interest in Weise. Forgot his role alot on this team. He may do well in Chicago though He turned into a different player. Instead of a gritty 3rd/4th liner having a career year, he played more like a soft second liner. Like PAP, Ryder, or Briere.

We is the tankers. Why does keeping salary matter? He's a UFA in the summer.... it won't be on our books next year. The only reason we kept salary is that chicago is so tight against the cap they wouldn't have been able to make the deal anyways. Keeping salary has no effect on next season, and this season doesn't matter any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I like deal, well done, now just hope Hawks suck in 2017-18. Kinda like Minni is doing, currently Habs pick 9th, 39th, 40th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habinator33 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I like the deal I didn't really think Fleischmann had much value he was struggling for a long period of time. As for Weise I thought his max value was a 2nd round pick. We basically got a guy that looks like he should be an NHL regular in the bottom 6 and a 2nd round pick so overall I'd say we made out pretty good. I don't mind the bringing in another bottom 6 player since we just traded away 2 of them. Hopefully we can improve the bottom 6 while lowering the aav of the bottom 6. We can then actually reallocate funds to the top 6 and maybe bring in some real offensive threats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 If Bergy's got one strength it's minor deals for spare parts. Seems like a decent return, and maybe it opens up an Eller trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Realistically, this 2nd round pick is a piece we'll use at the next deadline or the one after. Gonna have to start cashing in for the present, starting this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 We should be playing this after the trade deadline: Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Carr - Plekanec - Andrighetto Byron - Mitchell - Danault De la Rose - Flynn - McCarron Desharnais, Eller and DSP should all be gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 For those curious, Blackhawks fans say Danault regularly plays RW. He averages over 12 faceoffs per game this year so he appears to have spent a big chunk of time at centre as well. We should be playing this after the trade deadline: Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Carr - Plekanec - Andrighetto Byron - Mitchell - Danault De la Rose - Flynn - McCarron Carr is out for the season. Flynn is out until the end of March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Look for Weise to kick ass in the playoffs. He's always been a guy whose focus drifts in and out, and who periodically starts to confuse himself with a skilled player. But once he recommits to his proper role as a grinder, he is excellent and adds unexpected offence to boot. Flash is harder to figure, but he'll probably have some good games in the dance; veterans running on fumes seldom can survive 82 games, but usually can raise their game for the playoffs. I'd have preferred to get back a guy with the potential, at least, to play in the top lines, but obviously that's wishful thinking as a return for these role players.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 He averages over 12 faceoffs per game this year so he appears to have spent a big chunk of time at centre as well. He hasn't been very good. Unless Therrien thinks he has something there, it'll be like how Calgary used to play Byron at centre. Nothing we're going to see. To a lot of Blackhawks fans, Danault was the insurance in case Krueger walked. With Danault traded, they now expect Chicago to re-sign Krueger.
