Quoting: CMcAvoy73
Monahan is intriguing, but why would Calgary make that move right now?
It’s so rare that anyone costs multiple firsts +. I wouldn’t really think about that as a possibility.
Sharks fans on here think Hertl will cost an arm and a leg. I don’t think he’s a once in a generation rental.
Hertl is a good target. Pavelski sort of is, but i really think he’s a winger at this point. Scheifele likely won’t be on the market. Miller probably won’t move, and I view him more as a winger than anything.
For center, I would look to Hertl, Giroux, and maybe Pavelski (maybe monahan if he’s available).
for D, Chychrun, Lindholm, or low end depth.
I don’t think CGY will move monahan, especially in a playoff spot but I did see one person mention about cap space for off-season and moving him would be an option, that’s where I got it from and thought that would be an under the radar not overly exspensive trade, that’s not a rental as he’s signed for 6m for another year which isn’t horrible for a 2C which he is capable of for sure.
Hertl I think is off the table for BOS I think he will be to exspensive with all the hype and the season he’s having, the only way hertl would be an option for me is if we could get him talked into an extension before the trade that way it’s not a pure rental, but with Bergeron uncertainty on returning idk if that would even be an option for the bruins
Pavelski I honestly have no idea, I know he’s pure rental, I know he’s having good year but other then that couldn’t begin to truly throw out a trade without researching, Giroux is about the same but cheaper I believe so I’d personally probably go with him over joe,
But I was just trying to see some other maybe less exspensive or alternative options.
And when I say multiple first I mean like an eichel top player, a future #1C that’s sub like 24 years old, a franchise player trade that’s the only way if we’re going big on a center I think we should go.
What do you think the probability of sweeny trading this years first rounder? I think it definitely going to happen.
Do you think that this should be the last “take a run” for the cup year if he does? Or do you think if Bergeron comes back they take another swing at it again next year and trade another first rounder away?
