Yeah we aren't paying that for Domi and Mete

I can't even put into words how awful that Blackhawks trade is. Tatar and the 2nd wouldn't get you the first alone, let alone Kubalik too.

Brodin = Domi (This has been discussed at length on multiple threads)
Mete + 2nd + 3rd >>> 1ST

i don't think they're even allowed to do this, even if they all get eliminated

Just no from MN.

Is Kubalik not a 3rd line winger who likely doesn't crack the top 6 in Chicago? Would be willing to add another 2nd or 3rd for just the 1st then.

A d-man that is fighting to crack the lineup in MN (even with Brodin gone) + 2nd+3rd might equal the PIT (1st), if it's like 28th oa.

The Wild GM doesn't even want Domi/Brodin 1 for 1 swap, MTL adds or no deal, so that's why it didn't happen at the TDL.

Why not? All teams can still make trades but if any players are exchanged then said player is exempt from the playoffs.

Wrong!

What else do you think Montreal has to add? I suppose you think KK or Suzuki or Romanov or Caufield right! If that was the cost we may as well just trade for Eichel

if that is the case, then why would these teams tank their playoffs when they're giving up their 1st. Idk how much time is between the play-in round and the phase 2 lottery but that might be the best time to make a deal

More like:
Brodin > Domi
12.5% chance at Laf or 87.5% chance at a very good prospect >>> Mete + 2nd + 3rd

Brodin = Domi according to just about every other unbiased neutral team fan on here. Personally I think Domi > Brodin like Brodin + 3rd = Domi. But I assume that that's just cause I am a Habs fan and the reason you see Brodin as being more valuable is cause your a Sabres fan. Mete is worth 2nd again not the way I see him but fans of other teams. Mete to me = 2nd + 4th. So your getting

Even 1 for 1 equal value for Brodin

+

2 2nds and a 3rd for a 1st this is more than equal value

MTL has like 3 players MN needs: Daunault, KK, and Sazuki. Romanov and Caufield are of no interest to me. If you want to make a trade deal around the 3 players that would make a difference tom MN, fine. If not, fine.

Chicago accepts, but only if you give us both of your first round picks if neither wins Laf.

Fair enough let's switch out Mete and Domi and add Danault + 2021 2nd how's that work for you

Now who is dreaming? Montreal would consider trading the highest one back but not giving it back for free

LMAO did you just say mtl was overpaying on these?? Those trade are awful for the other teams.

Mete does nothing for MN: Suter, Spurgeon, Dumba, Pateryn, Menell, Belpedio, Hunt are already NHL or hit waiver players next year. Add in Brodin (who was just traded here) and maybe Soucy (no clue if they re-sign him). That's 8-10 NHL ready d-men on the roster.

Domi is a 3C/2LW that will get paid, MTL is trying to trade him because of that. MN has too many LWs already, and an expensive 3C (he'd be behind Staal and JEE in MN) that can't play defense doesn't do them any good.

Fair enough about Mete I see the log jam on the Left not sure how your right side looks but Mete also plays on the right. Even still I see why Mete doesn't work from the wilds side.

Domi is actually a better center than most give him credit for. NHL.com ranked Domi as 31st best center in the league this year making him technically a 1st line center in quality however IMO he is a 2nd line center that can easily put up 60-80 points per year. But I guess others here would rather have Danault so we can switch them out as well

I'd think about Brodin + (somewhere between PIT 1st and a 3rd)* for Danualt, for a face value trade: rental for a rental+1.

* I haven't put much thought into a Danualt/Brodin base trade. It would be a bad move for MTL to trade Danualt imo. Sazuki and KK aren't 1C's next season (possible in the future), and Domi isn't a 1C at all.

Kubalik scored 30 goals in his rookie season only playing 14 minutes a night... Tatar and a 2nd dont even get Kubalik, forget about the draft pick

My post was so obviously satire.

I genuinely feel bad for you if you didn't know how bad these trades we're when you posted.

But I don't think that's possible,

I'm a Wild fan, not a Sabres fan. I've been watching Habs games for the past few weeks since Habs fans have been shoving this Brodin for Domi idea down our throats and I wanted to give a more unbiased and informed opinion. I like Domi, but he's not as good as Brodin IMO. If you want an opinion on Brodin that is not my own and truly is unbiased, here's Dom Luszczyszyn, the head national statistics writer at The Athletic on Brodin at the trade deadline:

"Brodin might be one of the game’s best defensive defenders, severely limiting chances and goals against whenever he’s on the ice. He’s a big part of the Wild’s identity in that regard and is having an excellent year with arguably the best defensive impact (a combination of expected goals against and goals against). It’s been such a strong year that my model projects him to have the largest impact defensively going forward of any player. Brodin doesn’t have much to offer offensively, but he would be a terrific addition for a team looking up to shore things up in that department if the Wild decide to move him. Given his value, I’m not sure they should unless the offer knocks their socks off."

Danault is viewed as the habs future 3C by most fans. He is defensively strong enough to play against the top players in the league but he lacks the skill and hockey sense to play top 2. But CJ is all about defensive hockey and in so loves Danault who IMO is severely overrated. I would give up Danault for Domi any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Domi IS a 2nd scoring C Danault is more of a 3rd line shutdown C. Poehling is likely to take over this role on the Habs in the next 1-2 years anyway which will push Danault further down the lineup anyway
