I agree with you, but don't you think that 1 off year with no valuable center can shadow 4 consecutive seasons of 39, 37, 30 and 35 goals?

I'll help you. So what's ROR value then? He has been traded in the past for basically Zadorov, a 2nd pick and a bunch of prospects. It is a serious question: what's his worth?

Wow so Montreal moves down 6 spots and gives up Sherback and in return gets ROR....... now that is really comical.</div></div>

Thanks for being a little sarcastic *****. That's exactly what we expected to peacefully discuss hockey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfelz</b></div><div>This is pretty intriguing but I think the Sabres lose in this three way. Giving up ROR should net more than this, right? I don’t know much about Scherbak though other than a quick glance at his AHL stat sheet.</div></div>

I know right? Intriguing. Honestly as for "players value", I have seen some surprising stuff lately starting with Domi-Galchenyuk. I also feel that they might come a little short... But both players are line-up ready and promising. Not to say, they'll draft Dahlin. With this trade they could change their entire core and locker room seems to be devised between ROR and Eichel. With 10+ M$ for the next years, Eichel has to be your choice.

You think? I'm curious to know your position. On my side I'm seeing a lot of centers (Koivu, Eriksson Ek, Staal, Coyle) and a cruel lack of scoring. If you want big assets you have to move some big ones to. We've seen a lot of 1 vs 1 trade in the past and Pacioretty discount is not to be missed.

The format doesn't allow 3 way but here:

To BUF: V. Namestnikov rights + N. Sherback
To NYR: 1st round pick 2018 (3rd overall)
To MTL: R. O'Reilly + 1st round pick (9th overall)

Sujet: Ultimate Habs rebuild

No problem mate. Really here to have some fun and dream of scenarios. That said, i’m not saying it will likely happen but I don’t see what’s so unrealistic about it. We all know Tavares won’t be an Islanders in 18-19 season. A matter of personal conflict with GM + disagreement on the team direction.

1. Tavares requires big money. I don’t see many rich teams with enough space cap to spare 12-13M$ to a single guy.

2. From what I heard, Tavares wants to be the star and not play the kind of role that Malkin plays in Pittsburgh behind Crosby, for example. He wants to be in front. Well, that would be easy in Montreal, as he would become national hero on first day.

3. I’m guessing playing many years in a poor market such as Long Island make you want to experience bigger market and sold out crowds.

4. Lot of people screaming how Habs sucks. Isn’t a good season indeed, just as TB didn’t make playoff last year and EDM not making it this year. Lot of timing and injury issue. I don’t see why they couldn’t be playoff material next year with healthy Drouin, Price, Weber. Hurts when top 3 NHL goalie and top 5 NHL defensement are on LTI for most of the season.

6. As season end approach, Habs will draft in the top 10 and most likely in the top 5. We’ll let the lottery decide, but who wouldn’t play with Dahlin? Gotta dream. Right now the probs are at 8,5%.

7. Habs a decent recent history in playoff compared to the Islanders.

8. Tavares won gold medal with Price and Weber, probably good friends. They will both surely reach out to the guy and that may be an incentive.

9. Pat Brisson is one of Marc Bergevin’s closest friends.

Again, not saying it will happen.

I wouldn't see Ducks made that terrible move either. Plus they already struggle on the cap, adding 3.9 M$ A. Shaw wouldn't fit.

Up! What you guys think?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mytduxfan</b></div><div>I suspect Thornton will sign in LA. I don't think he enjoyed being in a big hockey market like BOS. Hence, the desire to stay in Cali where the media is a little more reserved. MTL would be a nightmare for him.</div></div>

I agree with you on some levels. I think Thornton signing in Montreal is unlikely. Altough, seeing LA center line (Kopitar, Carter) I don't see where Joe would fit. He wants to play and would have 1st center spot in Montreal right away + chances to win.

About the market, I'm hesitant over that assumption. Joe Thornton was a very young guy while in Boston.

A few years away but spent a 1st pick on Stepan (27 y.o.) and added up Hjalmarsson (31 y.o.). They want to win and have already plenty picks after 1st round.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Plekanec is aging garbage, No way does Pleks get you Calvin De Haan.</div></div>

I wouldn't mind retaining salary and/or adding a 2nd pick over it. Keep in mind Hamonic was traded for a 1st and two 2nd. Hamonic is imo a far better player then De Haan.

...and still under contract for 3 more seasons at a really decent AAV of 3.85 M$. De Haan will likely be sign between 4 and 5 M$ on short term or 5-5.5 on long term.

Asking price was McCarron + 1st pick. I am not sure anyone will pay that much. Knowing that Hanzal will not be part of the Coyotes at the start of new season, they could at least get Plekanec, signed for few years and Andrighetto which can play on regular basis.
