MTL wants our G's!..Would U?(Proposal)


Recommended Posts

So Mtl decides to go young, & reload for future seasons.

 

JB gets a take it/leave it call, from a desperate Bergie. They offer...

 

Weber(retain 1.3 mill) & a 2019 2nd, for...

 

Gudbranson

Granny

Goldy/or Dahlen(pick 1)

our 2018 1st R pick(top-4 OA protected). If it's a top-4 pick, shift 1st to following draft

*condition: if they get the 2019 1st, we lose the MTL 2nd R pick in 2019*

 

one prob is we're likely about 1~1.5 mill short on cap space. If someone like DD went on LTIR, they could probably swing it.

 

 

**********VERDICT?******** Would you, or wouldn't you?

Wow, all that for a 32-year-old who is already breaking down, and have you even looked closely at his contract?  At a time when we're not contending, for a guy who's not able to raise his own team to playoff level, and we're going to turf out at least FOUR young assets?  Benning would be rightly fired for destroying everything he accomplished since he got here.

wtf?

 

No, like hell no.  That's as bad in its own right as sergachev for drouin or subban for weber

 

You give up all that youth AND a pick which could be 5th through 10th easily for a soon to be 33 year old Weber and his massive contract and a 2nd.

 

No....

Stay the course,  build through the draft,  keep our picks and wherever/whenever possible flip vets for more picks (talking about you Loui,  Sam, Alex, Thomas...).  Oh, and definitely re-up Quads.

These points cannot be emphasized enough. 

 

This team is on the right track - no need to derail the plan unless a deal we cannot refuse is offered up and this proposal isn't one of those deals imo.

hard no Nux. If Weber was 27 maybe but 7.8 mll for EIGHT FRICKING YEARS after this for a 32 year old... I'd drive Jim to the airport as they say. Gudbranson and Granny would be an overpayment for this contract which will be an albatross in 3 years. But to add in Dahlen and a 1st too? You must really like Weber.

Wouldn't do it. Not at this point.

 

Weber is 32 and will be going into decline and is wrapped up for a LONG time on contract.

 

If we were deep enough and ready to run for a cup, then it would make sense to have him, but what you have proposed is way too much for us to spend on a guy that will likely decline extensively over then next 2 - 3 seasons.

 

If Montreal wants to dump him, I'd consider giving them Gudbranson and Granny straight up, just based on the experience and mentoring that he could bring to the rest of our defense. I'd still be asking Montreal to take some salary back. 7.8 million until he turns 40, is a really big number to eat!
