Provost Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not even in the ballpark for what Domi would be worth in a trade... not that Montreal would be looking to trade him. Maybe something like: Virtanen Stecher Madden 2nd round pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think you'd be looking at something like Virtanen, Lind, and a 2nd...at which point I'm not sure it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat is more valuable than Domi, imo, albeit only slightly. Lind looks very good in Utica this year and I think is likely to end up as a good 2nd/3rd line player. Virtanen is already a good and young 2nd line player with great physicality to boot. I debated between a 2nd and 1st rounder, but either way, those are fairly high picks. I don't feel that value is far off and it's much closer than the OPs proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debated between a 2nd and 1st rounder, but either way, those are fairly high picks. I don't feel that value is far off and it's much closer than the OPs proposal. The only real difference value wise is the fact that Horvat is signed for 3 more seasons (at which point he becomes UFA). Domi is RFA this summer. So potentially he can remain under team control for up to 5 more years if the team chooses an 8 year contract. So I’d say that negates the difference there They’re the same age. Were drafted 3 spots apart. Horvat is a C. Domi has shown he can play at C or W Horvat has 264 points in 426 games (.619 ppg average) Domi has 241 points in 354 games (.681 ppg average) Horvat is bigger, Domi plays with more of an edge. I really don’t see how Horvat is more valuable. So I ask again. Would you trade Horvat for an equivalent package?

I don't agree with the Horvat comparison, and we are in a much different position than Montreal is. They need to massively rejig their lineup and are nowhere near the playoff bar. A package that included a small step down in terms of a roster player along with a package of futures would certainly have more appeal to them than a team in the hunt for a playoff spot. Having said that, I prefaced my comments with the note that I don't see any reason why Montreal would move him. They have other pieces to move that could attract interest (even at a low return) that would free up lots of cap space in order to make deals either to take on some slightly inefficent cap space or to sign UFAs to relatively good value deals in the summer when most other teams won't have any money.

What dont you agree with with regards to the Horvat comparison? I think they’re very good comparables Also. Montreal is not in nearly as dire shape as you suggest. They were a 96 point team last year. They got nailed with simultaneous injuries to 3 of their top 6 (4 of their top 9) forwards. They didn’t have the depth to deal with it. Prior to the rash of injuries they were right near the top of the Atlantic. They have a number of very good young players with blue chip prospects at all positions. They have a boatload if picks in this years draft. And a bunch of cap space with Domi the only notable RFA this summer. Domi is 24, has put up a 72 point season, and loves playing in Montreal. He’s part of the solution. He doesn’t get traded short of a massive overpay. (Like Horvat in Vancouver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Really? Leivo, a guy so badly concussed he isn't even in the NHL, and Fantenberg? It's trades like this that gives the proposal section a bad name. If you were Montreal would you accept that deal for Domi? Lol. If the answer is yes stop doing drugs.

Sure i could have said "barely nothing". If he still struggles to produce, and get an offersheet for something like 4M due to this current season, i guess the return is something like a second round pick. and a second round pick for Domi is barely nothing for a player like that. The price would be way too high to offer sheet him more than 4.2M, who turns into a 1st and a 3rd or something like that. that would be a bridge deal under 4.2 to limit the return, then a 6-7.5M a year after if he would be back to his old production. lets say i was very under the price tag here - and i assume- would you do a Pearson + Leivo + Fantenberg for Domi ? that would immediately help ther deplated lineup, and we get the last top 6 to our group. and not anyone, but Horvat's best friend.

Lol. If someone convinced Domi to sign an offer sheet for $4.2m Montreal would immediately match it and send a bottle of wine to the GM that signed him to that gift. So no.

Fair enough, but I feel my offer to substantially more than the OPs proposal. Lind and Virtanen aren't exactly in our junk drawer. Throw in a high pick like a 1st and I'm not sure you're too far off in value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I’ll take that deal and won’t look back. The chances of Lind and that 2nd turning into a viable NHL player are pretty low. Lind is having a great season in the minors, but as you and I know that means very little until he can show what he can do in the NHL. I mean, take a look at what Pouliot is doing in the AHL, currently. A near point per game player in the minors, but he struggle to stay on a NHL roster. So, essentially the deal for Montreal is Virtanen and two hopefuls for Domi. Edited January 22, 2020 by shiznak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
