MickeyBlueEyes Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hey guys, long time reader, first time proposer haha... first things first, let me just start by saying i'm not one of the people who want kassian traded, but this is all just for fun anyways, so... To Van; Lars Eller To: Mtl: Zack Kassian+ Eller seems to have fallen out of favour in Montreal this sason for whatever reason. Eller is a youngish centre at 25 who hasn't hit his full potential just yet IMO and is signed for another three years at a reasonable cap hit of 3.5 mil. AND we could ice an all danish line haha, Jensen - Eller - Hansen. Also, I feel like he could be an upgrade over Bonino as the second line centre. Now we all know Kassian is on some kind of crazy roller coaster here, He would probably benefit from a change of scenery now, although i hope we can work it out with him. I'm not sure if the Canadiens are in need of wingers, but really, every team wants a young winger with kassian's skill set, he just hasn't seemed to put it all together here for whatever reason. That being said, his skillset along with his size and the way he thinks the game could possibly be better suited to the softer Eastern Conference. He likes more of the skill game rather than the traditional power forward crash and bang drive to the net type game. What you guys think? I'm going to get my flame suit now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Eller isn't worth that much. But I wouldn't mind trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Bergevin places a premium on players with Character and work ethic. (ie NOT Kassian). He's also a fan of Eller. when asked about Eller's lack of production he said there are players that get you to the playoffs and players that get you through them. Eller is a playoff performer. I don't see Montreal biting on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinP Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I think in the future we are going with Horvat as our #2 center and Bonino as our #3....maybe a couple years down the road. So, this trade wouldn't make much sense. I think Bonino could be a mediocre #2 center, but we need to give him legit top 6 guys to play with before we make that assessment. Higgins isn't a legitimate top 6 forward. Anyways, solid proposal but we already have Horvat and Bonino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this nonsense the frack out of here. I was talking about those qualities in relation to being an NHL level player. And if Kassian possessed them he wouldn't have constantly found himself in the doghouse of three different coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanghai owey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 nada, poor trade, Kassians ceiling much higher than eller, also the slot of which he'd fit in is not needed. We already have Gaunce whos grooming to be our third line centre, and cassels who as shown to be a nice suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
