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

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?

Why would we want Weber now? Doesn't fit our plans as far as building a team,

I'd rather stick to the rebuild. Weber doesn't make the Canucks contenders and by the time we are ready to contend his cap hit will hurt us

Agreed. 

If anything, I'm looking to trade vets, not add more.

I'm all for creating a system that provides depth to be an annual contender. 

If that means short term sacrifices for long term success, so be it.  

Acquiring a contract like Weber's would be another crippling blunder in my opinion. It would take valuable capspace away, making it tough to sign future stars.

I, likewise, have to say no.

Personally, I think that Montreal is going to regret trading Subban for Weber for a LONG time. Weber is a solid D, and if you are protecting a lead, he's the one that I'd want out there.

 

If you want someone who's attitude and game style can inspire the team to play better, you want Subban out there. I think that is what Montreal is desperately missing right  now.

 

I think management in Montreal needs a change for fresh perspective.

 

For a cup contender, Weber makes sense, but good luck trading that contract.

Me too... When I saw "MTL wants our G's" I thought G's referred to out goalies. I was thinking that maybe they will trade Price to get assets and wanted one of our goalies after they trade Price and etc etc. Turns out G's referred to our players whose last name starts with G. Lame.

Thanks for the responses. Just threw this out there before hitting the hay. Aside from Canucks games, I don't really see other team's games. Most "proposals"(which we are required to tag), are a means for me of gauging value on various vets & youth. Mostly just throw these together for fun, & get discussion/input from posters on NHL talent/prospect-info. But folks don't need to get worked up, JB doesn't always seek out my opinion :^)

 

- Weber's hit: 6.5 mill AAV, not 7.8(stated that MTL retains 1.3 mill, in the original post)

 

Heard he's still putting up pts(13 in 20 gp), & Mtl's state is not about him. Of course such reports vary/are anecdotal & subjective. We've never really had a guy like this, on the blueline.

 

Pouliot/MDZ  .. Weber

Edler ..Tanev

Pouliot/MDZ ..Stecher

 

Hutton for a nice extra D. Biega maybe cover DD's spot(dress 7D)

 

With our 'tending & diverse fwd lines, I think this team could make the PO's & surprise people. Losing Granny would be hard on the C-depth, but maybe Burmistrov could cut the mustard ? We'd certainly be leaning more heavily on our summer FA's than had been expected.

OMG! not what I was expecting at all. I thought this was going to be a pitch for one of our goalies because Price is/was/is going to be hurt again.

 

Joking aside, no thanks. Thats a lot of assets for an aging defender on a rebuilding team. Just not really what we need at this point in time.

Don't mean to derail the thread but...just out of curiousity, what would it take to get Price here? And what are u willing to give up?

What it would take and what I'm willing to give up differ greatly mostly because Price is value is super high to any contender but in reality he is not what this team needs with Demko in the system during a rebuild but I'll give it a try.

 

They would want

- Demko- They need a long term solution for not having Price and we wouldn't need him with Price here

- 2018 1st round- speaks for itself

- 2019 Conditional Second- that becomes a first if the Canucks make it to the conference finals in 2018 or 2019

- Tanev - They need to solidify their D

- Baertschi - someone that can be injected into their lineup to add scoring

 

I would give them(again I don't value Price that highly as he is injury prone and we are not currently a cup contender so this is what I would offer to not screw over our future)

- Demko - With Price here he would become redundant

- Gagner - They need help down the Center and he is a "PP Specialist)

- 2018 1st that is top 5 protected and becomes a 2019

- Goldobin/Dahlen/Virtanen - Whichever of the 3 they would like as there wont be space for all of them in our top 6 in a few years.

- Hutton - They need help on the backend and I've been unimpressed with his progress this year. Almost like he's hit a brick wall and may not get to that next level we had hoped for so sell before his stock drops.

Was thinking about the injury, taking that into consideration, i wouldn't even give them that much. Also, at age 30...

Can't understand why we'd sell the world for a good, yet aged 'tender(with no big PO-run in his career), but say the Sicamous Mtn Man is too long in the tooth.

We wouldn't...but it was a, out of curiosity, question.

Aside from Demko and the 1st it was mostly filler I figured we could survive without. But like I said I'm happier sitting tight and avoiding that trade
