Change of scenery

MTL declines the NJD trade on the grounds we're giving up two better players for a 4th pick return

i like the CGY trade though it works for both teams pretty evenly .

if we're trading Tatar and Mete i want a Girard or Sanheim in return if we're just getting a 4th in return .


adding a 3rd line Center weaker then our 18 year old 3rd line Center was last year doesnt make sense for MTL
Adding Frolik to Kotkanemi's line however makes complete sense
right now if they're not Quality Prospect Suzuki , Poehling or Kotkanemi level then we dont need them we got to many forwards as is .


give me Sanheim , Ratcliffe and a 2nd for Tatar , Mete and a 5th
this makes MTL better today with Sanheim
tomorrow with Ratcliffe/Suzuki connection re-sparked and a 2nd in which we've had success drafting the last 3 years

PHI gets a 21 year old fast skating LD prospect to develop behind Provorov and Ghost
Tatar to walk into their top 6 adding 20+ goals to PHI offensive output
and a late pick to gamble with

Kylington isn't moving for a bottom 6 forward

MTL wouldn't even have the chance to decline because NDJ declines first.

Philly aren't moving Sanheim, he was arguably their best Dman last season.

I wouldn't say MTL are giving up the two best players. Butcher is an upgrade on Mete. Even though Mete is still young, Butcher brings immediate help and he's still pretty young at 24 years old.

Zacha can play the wing, he doesn't have to be at center. He needs a change of scenery and I doubt Tatar puts up those numbers again.

At the end of the day, you may not like this trade and it's just for fun but the value is just about even. You could switch the 4th to a 3rd maybe but idk.

It seems like I have fans of both teams that want to decline the trade. Which makes it a good value trade. Thanks mate!
