[GDT] ‘Tis the Dog Days of Summer, Are we Thinging Before Training Camp?
qwijibo replied to AngryElf's topic in Canucks Talk
In general I think Montreal and Vancouver are bad trading partners right now. They’re both rebuilding and have similar holes in the lineup. Vancouver has a couple young pieces in a Hughes and Pettersson that really stand out. Montreal doesn’t have those superstars as of yet but they have far better prospect depth -

He’s certainly not on the list of untouchables. That said it would need to be a deal that makes sense for Montreal. They don’t have cap issues atm so you can’t view him as a player they’re looking to dump. He’s probably their best faceoff guy and hes reliable defensively. He actually fits well as their 3C. That said with the acquisition of Newhook and the possibility of Beck pushing for a spot they may be willing to move him. Montreal has a ton of NHL ready wingers and left shot d so I think they’d be looking for a decent right shot D prospect (unlikely) or a couple draft picks. I’m thinking a couple 2nds or a 2nd and a 3rd would get it done. -
Both teams tell Vancouver to pound sand

(Proposal) Gain Picks + UFA Signings

The islanders one is pure fantasy. They gave up 13th OA last draft to get Romanov. Do you honestly think they’ll move him and a pick just to dump Bailey and get Boeser? -

Montreal keeps Dvorak over Garland. -
Different situation entirely. At the time Montreal had very few options at C. The Droiun fiasco was largely motivated by Bergevin giving into a small but vocal group of media and politicians who wanted more homegrown Francophones. It was a mistake the moment it happened. The fact that Newhook CAN play centre certainly doesn’t hurt

Not a chance in hell. Garland is overpaid for what he brings and Montreal has several nhl ready guys who saw action last season thst could be pencilled in to where he would play for a fraction of the cost. Montreal also has a bunch of far more proven young defencemen in the system with more coming. Rathbone adds no value. So essentially it’s 5th OA for 11 OA. Montreal May drop back 2-3 spots max, and if they do the return is rumoured to be far better than that

Hughes has done a great job in Montreal far and it’s been reported for a couple months now that he was looking to make another deal in the same vein as last summers Dach trade. It was pretty much a forgone conclusion he wasn’t going to get into a bidding war for Dubois so anyone surprised by this move doesn’t follow Montreal very closely. He gave up more fur Dach but there were also higher expectations on him. Time will tell how this ends up looking but Hughes is making moves to improve the term with a similar aged core that can mature together
