Sujet: Acquiring a bunch of picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>skriko</b></div><div>totally lots of gm jobs next year nobody wants that mess. only one guy could fix this and thats p. Chiarelli lol</div></div>

Ron Hextal would i'm sure and unlike Chirelli , Ron won 85-90% of the trades he made but could never find that starting Goalie PHI has needed since Ron retired as a player. (had hextal found a Dubnyk i think he'd still be in PHI)

Ron's a 3rd generation hockey player with deep roots in Sask. and Manitoba so taking the job in EDM allows him to work from his hometown if he so chooses . He gave everything he had in LAK and PHI leaving both teams better after leaving so he just seems like the logical choice

Steve Yzerman is another Possibility as the BC native could be lured back North of the Boarder as Mcdavid is a strong motivating factor

Sujet: Granlund
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bloodykisame</b></div><div>habs reject? no minnesota laughs at the offer. He is on pace for 60-65 points is .80 points per game and he is 26 years old with 65+ points the last 2 seasons. It will cost a top prospect on top to start because with Minnesota probably rebuilding they can get those offers from multiple teams that are contending or championship level.</div></div>

not really ,he's producing as much as he's paid to .
if he was locked in at like 3m cap sure the cap vs production makes him invaluable but right now MIN needs to recoop the depth they pissed away on failed playoff pushes as their team is Real Old .

if Granlund can get them a roster player ,another 1st in the deepest draft since 2003 (in which half a dozen teams built their core's for the next decade ), 2nd round pick and Gold Medal winner Jesse Ylonen taken last year 35th overall then they'd take it . Maybe it takes a Byron instead of Hudon to help fill in the Goal Scoring they'll lose with Granlund gone and Byron's signed at a good cap with term .

Montreal only does this because of the Upside of Granlund playing with Kotkanemi a fellow Finn and MG can help mentor Kotkanemi in the faceoff circle which will help move his development alone quite a ways .

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Trade Trouba and have Niku step into the top 4 D then they won't need as much cap space, trading Niku would be a really dumb move by the Jets.</div></div>

trade your left D and have your right D fill his spot ?

you fantasy league hockey era fans kill me sometimes .
Niku has 3 points in 11 NHL games we aren't even talking about a player on Trouba's level .Niku is more like a Mete then a Trouba (a long term project )

Niku is a future Jeff Petry style PP specialist who will take until he's 25+ to become worthy of being a #3 D and leader of the 2nd pair.
Trouba is being held down due to depth and when injuries occur he carries that D core on his back in Byflugliens place.

saying trade Trouba over Niku would be like me trading Domi over Shaw(it makes us worse not better )

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildfan24</b></div><div>i think you could put granlund in the trade players category as he only has 2 years left yes i get hes young and good but you would get a large return for him. If this is the complete rebuild you have to do it</div></div>

yupp MTL would give up a first and a top RD or Center Prospect for him

Granlund plays a specific style that will be fire with Kotkanemi in the coming years. he's not the center we wanted but he's the exact player who can bring out the best in Kotkanemi who will be MTL's future #1 C for years to come .

if we could do it for a 1st ,2nd ,Juulsen , and either Shaw or Hudon (or a 1st , Poehling and Shaw or Hudon)then i'd pull the trigger but anything more then that is to rich given his contract is coming up and seeing as he'll be in his prime when it does it may become a price to high for MTL to pay so we wont sell our future without cause .

Sujet: Preparing for Suzuki and Poehling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>I highly disagree with Marleau move. You cant give up a 2rd pick for a guy who’s 39 yo. Pretty sure they will accept the offer without the 2rd pick</div></div>

i gave up ours which i figure will be 55-62nd pick so fairly late similar to the 2nd TOR gave up for Plekanec's when they needed him to play a similar role .

Marleau is not only a great faceoff center and a true leader to the youth but also only 2nd to Alex Ovechkin in PP Goal's among active NHL Players . sure he's over payed but we cannot ignore what he brings to the table and the fact that his 2 biggest strengths are MTL's 2 biggest weakness's makes me willing to take the gamble regardless of cap or age .(primarily because we have cap to burn the next 2 years and need a faceoff mentor for Kotkanemi ,Poehling and Suzuki anyways )

if Plekanec is worth a late 2nd at the TDL its hard to sell Marleau as worth less then that IMO but if i could get him for less i would regardless of age as where he plays youth succeeds around him just look at SJS faceoff stats before and after Marleau then do the same for TOR as once he leaves everyones average goes down because he comes in for the tough DZ faceoffs which keeps the rest of the centers from lower their average same way Plekanec did here for years with Galchenyuk and DD

Gardiner = no thanks

any GM who signs him is looking to pay a lot and for a long time .

Beaulieu is just as good of an option as Gardiner because we know what Nathan can do without having to rely on offensive stars . Gardiner only began to succeed once Mathews ,Marner,Nylander,Reilly and other youth pieces showed up producing offense at high rate's and if you take that away hoping Gardiner can sustain his offense you're asking for dissapointment as you're banking on him playing well with here when MTL needs a Defensive D to balance out our RD with Weber and Petry two offensive D . Signing Gardiner to play with Weber negates the whole point of bringing Weber in to mentor youth and putting him with Petry is asking for them both to be top 5 turnovers in the NHL .

with Beaulieu 2/3rds of his production comes on PP so we just need him to play third pair and top PP possibly even PK but keep his minutes at 17-20 and he'll succeed here but when CJ came in they were trying to force him and about a half dozen other bottom 6 D in playing with Weber and no one's succeeded .(trading him the year he gets a career high based on this was always off to me unlike the Pateryn deal which made 100% sense )

Stone would be nice i suppose

you should try and stop trading everyone you dont want for a weird pick it takes credibility away just buy them out or send them to the AHL assuming they'll all clear waivers that way you'll get more people looking at this and agreeing rather then looking at it as a pile of leftovers getting pawned off on another team that doesnt need them .

Sujet: Bs Acquire Bjugstad
wait , so your whole assumption is based on Bjugstad being overpayed?

that's just false , he has one of the best contracts in the league and once Gerard left was moved from Center to Wing which has effected his production slightly untill he found his new role but all his possession metrics hit Career Best's . before his new coach his OZS% was 52-56% with DZS% at 44-47% and since Gerard left his OZS% went to 47-48% while his DZ5% rose to 52% as he settled into a shutdown role .

like Paul Byron on MTL he succeeds as a leader by doing whats asked and being able to play on all 4 lines making those around him better for a bargain and you're asking FLA to give him a way for weak picks and not even one of your top 3 prospects . . . . its like me offering you Hudon a 4th and a 5th for Debrunsk

Sujet: Klefbom to MTL fair trade
Maatta doesnt suck he's just not utilized by this coach very well as in both cup years they looked outside PIT to find solutions instead of trying to groom Maatta or challenge him to be better.

Claude Julien will get the most out of Maatta who's boring Style of play is exactly what MTL needs to help give our Offensive Right side on the back end a chance to jump up in the play more often . Being the 5th Finn on the squad gives us an advantage communication wise as Maatta and Niemi can set plays without giving opposition any hints on what they are setting up. Obviously the big impact would be on Kotkanemi who will grow up with a big Finn helping him grow as a player longterm .

Maatta could be had by a playoff team for their late round 1st pick or by a non playoff team by their high round 2nd pick alone with a B+ to A- prospect and possibly another later pick depending on if more then 1 team shows interest but given no Playoff teams are as weak as MTL on their LD its a fair assumption we'll get him without issue

it would be better having Nuutivara from CBJ though , him i'd give up a 1st for a lot more willingly as he fits or fast pace style a lot more and has a higher ceiling

Sujet: Will Butcher
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mooper</b></div><div>I understand where you're coming from but I don't think the NJD management will do this. Butcher may be struggling a bit this year, but the defense as a whole has been a huge issue. A one for one trade doesn't make sense to me especially when NJ is sending an NHL capable defenseman for someone who isn't as proven yet.</div></div>

given how much production the Offense provided and how solid Cory Schneider was for NJD i'd be shocked if Shero wasnt open to moving him as this would be his kind of trade as NJD only has Left Handed D prospects with Gryba and Mueller being used as plugs so this solve's one of the biggest issues NJD has in the depth department

Brooks is one of the top developed Canadian D out there right now with MTL real high on him because of his ability to carry the puck and distribute it on special teams as both our AHL coach and NHL coach went on about Brook at length in the Pre Season making him one of the last cuts as with Weber down at the time there was serious though about keeping him but instead Benn and Oulette rotated filling in on the Right side and MTL chose not to burn a year on his ELC which was brilliant because he's having a career year .

if anything i argue giving up Brooks for Butcher is not in MTL's favor as he could replace Petry who will land a LD prospect a lot better then Butcher who is a star on a struggling team but on a team with stars on the back end up ceiling is really as a #2-3 D and special teams leader , not a guy like Weber you want logging 25 plus minutes as he's an offensive D unlike Weber who's just as solid in his end as the offensive end making him a complete 2 way threat and leader .

that being said we need a young LD today to bridge the gap until Romanov and Mete can solidify themselves giving us a complete and powerful LD core for the next 4-7 years while still having Weber Juulsen and Fleury long term to round out a solid core with great leadership .

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanross</b></div><div>I like jost even if he don’t put up that much points, I think a new team will help im, I can see tatar over gallagher being trade cause gallagher is a fan favorite in mtl and is younger than tatar. It will take more than jost to trade for gallagher but I like Girard or maybe some first rounders</div></div>

yeah i dont see COL giving up Sammy but Zadorov i could see them moving and he's a fighter as well as a top 4 LD exactly what MTL needs . put him on 2nd with Petry and let the kids alternate between skating with Juulsen and Weber . i'd trade Gallagher for Zadorov , 1st and a 2nd as he's good but he's not a top shelf #1 LD prospect like Girard . with Romanov coming up soon i like the idea of Romanov-Weber,Zadorov -Petry ,Mete-Juulsen and Brook . Zadorov will lay anyone out who tries riding rough shot on our youth prospects creating space for them to move .

6'5 230 pounds of wrecking machine is just what the doctor ordered , throw in a could good picks and i'd move Gallagher just because i know our Current Core is changing and that means Gallagher to as no one's untradable especially when their value's at a Career high and MTL has Prospects looking for roster spots and could use the picks to re-stock their development system after the fact.

i dont think you did to be honest as you still dont comprehend the role Shaw plays


when he's asked by the coach to play 4th line Grinder he's usually offensive leader in Hits .

when asked to play third line to mentor Chuck and Lehkonen his first year he picked up his Possession game and both youth helped put us on their backs and secure our last playoff run (Galchenyuk lead the league in OT GWG and Lehkonen in the final playoff push mounted 11 pts and 6 goals in 12 games 3 GWG's included in his rookie year .

when asked to play with Drouin-Domi because they were struggling since Byron's Injury he went and Drouin both went on 5 game point streaks and Shaw scored 17 points in 16 games on top line .

when asked to play with Pacioretty last year on 2nd/3rd line during his slump Shaw elevated Danault and Pacioretty's game by being there to feed them pucks from the corner and drive the net .


you ignore what he is to try to pigeon hole him into terms you are comfortable with is how i know you've never actually played hockey as people who have dont talk in Fantasy League terms about what a player brings as they see the game as Chess while the rest just see Checkers
