Price, patches Subban to Dallas for Jamie Benn, Anti Niemi, John Klingberg, Goligoski and Nichushkin
1.) 01 Sep 2015 06:26:36
Why don't you throw in seguin for the starts and emelin for Montreal and call it a deal!
2.) 01 Sep 2015 08:06:49
No from DAL.
3.) 01 Sep 2015 08:52:37
Benn > Patches
Klingberg, Goligoski = Subban
Niemi, Nichushkin
4.) 01 Sep 2015 11:52:06
@oilers yeah but you forgot price
5.) 01 Sep 2015 13:13:03
Yup this is DEFINETLY HAPPEN
(at least state in the titles your f---in around)
(btw the first sentence is sarcasm)
6.) 01 Sep 2015 14:57:43
Montreal won't trade price
7.) 01 Sep 2015 20:50:30
Nicp57 it cut it off! Haha >>> Price
I said both teams say no. If Montreal trades Price they wouldn't even make playoffs and I doubt Dallas parts with Benn and a few more young pieces.
8.) 02 Sep 2015 03:40:50
Seriously? Montreal easily declines.
They're trading 3/4 of the best players in the deal and you could argue that price's value would be equal to Neimi+J.Benn and even more. Patches is worth more and better then Nichuskin and Subban is worth more and better then Klingberg. Goligoski doesn't even come close to making that even.
Poor Marc Bergevin.
9.) 02 Sep 2015 06:15:00
lol
Price=Benn+Nichushkin
Subban=Klingberg+Goligoski+Nemi
Patches>>>>nothing
10.) 02 Sep 2015 07:00:38
I meant Niemi, Nichushkin

Hearing the Habs are shopping Lars Eller. The Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals and St-Louis Blues are interested in acquiring him. Here are trades that could happen with each team:
Vancouver trades Chris Higgins and a 2nd round pick to MTL for Lars Eller and a 3rd round pick.
Washington Capitals trade Marcus Johansson for Lars Eller, Flynn and a 4th round pick.
St -Louis Blues trade Jori Lehtera for Lars Eller, Sven Andrighetto, Tim Bozon, Zachary Fucale and a 1st round pick.
If we trade to Canucks:
Patches-Chucky-Semin
Desharnais-Pleky-Gallagher
Higgins-McCarron-Kassian
Smith-Pelly-Mitchell-Weise
If we trade to caps:
Patches-Chucky-Semin
Johansson-Pleky-Gallagher
Andrighetto-Desharnais-Kassian
DSP-Mitchell-Weise
If we trade to Blues:
Patches-Lehtera-Semin
Desharnais-Chucky-Gallagher
Kassian-Pleky-Scherbak
Smith-Pelly-Mitchell-Weise
The Lehtera trade is the best overall because the Habs made the trade fair with Eller, a couple of prospects and a 1st round pick. The Habs now have maybe the best Center depth in the league except for the Penguins. The first line with Lehtera is kind of the same in STL. Patches is better than Shwartz and Semin is a Russian like Tarasenko. The Habs now have a great top nine. They can now score more goals!
1.) 31 Aug 2015 19:10:05
Lehtera would be a great fit on the Habs
2.) 31 Aug 2015 19:19:27
Every one of those got less and less believable.
3.) 31 Aug 2015 19:21:40
Good lord.
4.) 31 Aug 2015 19:25:22
Except Johansson is far better than eller and we really don't want Flynn and a bad pick, to me it'd probably be more like mojo for eller and a second or third round pick
5.) 31 Aug 2015 20:09:41
Holy Overpayment for Lehtera wow. You sure you're not accidentally trading for Backes? Lehtera isn't that great and only had decent numbers because he played Tarasenko and Schwartz.
Capitals trade isn't terrible but Habs add a better pick or prospect IMO
Canucks don't want or need Eller. Fine at C with Sedin, Horvat and Sutter.
6.) 31 Aug 2015 20:10:12
You are not geting Lehtera for scraps, seriously.
Neither are you going to get Johanson
Comparing Semin to tarasenko is hysterical.
Best center depth in the league? That made me laugh so hard. so funny.
7.) 31 Aug 2015 21:37:05
"Best center depth in the league" now that's what I call funny
8.) 31 Aug 2015 22:18:53
if by best center depth in the league you mean your only centes are depth centers then yes. best team in the league with depth centers.
9.) 31 Aug 2015 23:18:29
Hahaha @Ovie. Good one. Montreal only has better C depth then maybe Nashville, Carolina, Calgary, Toronto, New Jersey and Arizona.
10.) 01 Sep 2015 03:48:47
Hahahaha What a post, thanks for the laughs.
11.) 01 Sep 2015 08:07:32
@BJ: Guess you can scratch Calgary off that last (soon). Monahan, Bennett, Backlund (very undervalued)
12.) 01 Sep 2015 08:54:28
And Carolina, both Staals, Lindholm
13.) 01 Sep 2015 15:55:58
1st trade - Possible, but Higgens would play on the 2nd line with Plekanec and DD would centre the 3rd line. Plus McCarron would be in the AHL and De La Rose would play 3rd line LW with DD and Kassian.
2nd trade - Won't happen. Makes the Caps worse blues the team will have to end up putting faith in Burakovsky being able to be a top 6 winger.
3rd trade - Huge Overpayment by Montreal for a guy who has played one season and played that one season with St.Louis' two young rising superstars (Schwartz, Taresanko). Pacioretty may be on the same level as those two, but Semin is not (at least not anymore). Plus St.Louis wouldn't want to break up the STL line as it is their highest scoring line. Last thing I'm pretty sure Lehtara is injured.
14.) 01 Sep 2015 18:42:09
Kings lover let's get something straight right now. Though I believe you are correct with saying that this was an over payment (of crap Players) Quantity does not equal quality. Lehtera is a good center and it just so happens that Tarasenko and him click on a whole nether level, (like Hall and Oates did). SO no the blues will not trade him.
There is no way in hell Max Pacioretty is on Vladimir Tarasenko's level. After this season I will bet to say that he isn't even on swartzs level. I Like patches but he is a power forward and not even the best power forward.
15.) 02 Sep 2015 01:31:50
pacioretty is no where near taresenkos level???!!! r u crazy. pacioretty IS montreals offense. he has no help up front what so ever. taresenko has people around him like backes stasny shwartz and more, pacioretty doesnt. also lethera is not worth a first.
16.) 02 Sep 2015 04:44:09
@Russian tank
If you were actually a blues fan you would know that Tarasenko has out grown Lehtera and is now going to play with Backes or Steen or Stastny whoever their 1st line C is. Lehtera is just another Patrick Berglund.
17.) 02 Sep 2015 13:55:02
Because I am a blues fan I know how special those two are together.
Do you actually watch the games. Do you actually read blues articles. Cause you are dead wrong. They tried putting tarasenko with statsny last year didn't work. They tried every line combination under the sun and the best line which will be the #1 line is swartz, lethera, tarasenko. But since you obviously don't follow the blues I will lay it out for you what Hitchcock has already planned.
swartz Lehtera tarasenko
steen statsny Jaskin
Brouwer Backes Fabbri/Rattie
Ott Brodizack Reeves
Jaybo Petro
Gunner SHatty
Linbhom Bortuzzo
ALLen elliot
18.) 02 Sep 2015 13:59:42
Obviously you never played the sport your self. Chemistry is everything in hockey/ YOu could put the best three players on a line together and amout to nothing. But you put the right 2 or 3 on the same line that read each other know where they other one will be at all times and they create magic. Do you know how many times the best team on paper has been beaten by a lesser team. with all the number ones overall you think edm would actually be able to make the playoffs. BUt they can't cause all they have is a team filled with potential and no one with the heart to actually play together as a team. When they traded perron they traded their best player. He had heart the rest of the team is a bunch of individuals.
19.) 03 Sep 2015 00:04:11
Patches>Schwartz
I did not compare Semin to Tarasenko. I said that they are both Russians and that Lehtera wouldn't need to change his system. Besides Semin at his best is better than Tarasenko. I just that they have good Center depth because Plekanec is on the third Line. Understand? They might have the best no.3 Center in the league if Plekanec is there
20.) 03 Sep 2015 00:25:52
You obviously haven't been following the oilers as you would know that the oilers had NO SECOND LINE (untill yak went on a hot streak) OR THIRD. AND NO DEFENSE. It wasnt about hall nuge or the core players in edm(except for shultz the kids got no excuse) It was depth. The fact that our development of later round draft picks has been terrible and have had horrible uppermangement deciasions like hiring eakins. We had no second line center for a few months in to the season proves it. So please stop bringing edm as an example when you know nothing about how many terrible decisions have been made by upper manegment.
21.) 03 Sep 2015 05:47:18
If you think that semim I better than tarasenko then there is nothing left to talk
22.) 03 Sep 2015 17:15:54
subban76 you have just lost all credibility
23.) 04 Sep 2015 05:25:56
Habs rather have a 2nd rounder than Higgins
31 Aug 2015 16:00:26
MTL//FLA
MTL trades David Desharnais, Arturri Lekhonen and a 5th round pick to Florida for Jussi Jokinen and a 5th round pick. Montreal gets a top 6 forward with amazingly talented hands. Florida gets Desharnais who can be put on the wing or be moved at Center. They also a skilled prospect in Lekhonen to deepen their prospect pool. Then, Montreal trades Gilbert to Arizona for a 3rd round pick.
Patches-Galchenyuk-Semin
Jokinen-Plekanec-Gallagher

LA trades an NHL ready player that looked like a potential top 6 guy but sure fire top 9er and had great chemistry with Carter and Toffoli for a meh prospect and a 4th, because?
2.) 30 Aug 2015 19:56:27
Would love it. but. it jus doesn't make sense for the Kings. I've see lots of Bozon as he played junior in town. I don't see him as an NHLer.
3.) 30 Aug 2015 20:43:22
Ok, I'll add Lekhonen.
4.) 30 Aug 2015 21:29:22
Pearson was a part of the Kings best line… easy no
5.) 30 Aug 2015 22:34:55
LOL! Thanks man I needed a laugh. Pears ain't going anywhere he's a valuable part of our future and brings something that not many players on our team have. Speed and the ability to score goals.
6.) 30 Aug 2015 23:03:52
So much for the name habsexpert
7.) 31 Aug 2015 01:33:48
Wow, Not even close. LA laughs so hard at this. Even more funny is you have Desharnais playing above him in the line up.
8.) 31 Aug 2015 06:10:15
The best part of this is the "ok I'll add lehkonen"
9.) 31 Aug 2015 07:31:59
Just all around terrible.
10.) 31 Aug 2015 13:33:19
I was kidding. Pearson should be worth malholtra. Pearson only had 16 points last year
11.) 31 Aug 2015 15:13:19
@Shank ikr, can't believe only you joticed that, hahaha
@Habsexpert Is that a joke, the malhotra thing, probably is, lmao
12.) 31 Aug 2015 15:40:51
You call yourself a Habsexpert but you don't even know that Malhortra is not on the team? I guess this trade isn't the only stupid thing you've posted on here.

Here is what I think the Habs lines should be at beginning of year:
Patches-Plekanec-Semin
Chucky-Eller-Gallagher
Hudon-Desharnais-Kassian
Smith-Pelly-Mitchell-Weise
Subban-Beaulieu
Petry-Markov
Gilbert-Emelin
Price
Tokarski
End of year:
Patches-Chucky-Semin
Eller-Plekanec-Gallagher
Hudon-Desharnais-Kassian
DSP/Scherbak-Mitchell-Weise
Subban-Beaulieu
Petry-Markov
Pateryn-Emelin
Price- Tokarski
I know you guys might be asking why is Eller on the second line and why is DD on the third. Maybe you might be asking what happened to Gilbert. Here are your answers: no1. Eller is on the second line because it'll give the Habs top 2 defensive lines. If you want you can draw comparisons to the Blackhawks in 2014-15. Eller had so much chemistry with Gallagher in 2014-14.
No.2: Desharnais is on the third line because of Kassian. Desharnais is the exact type of Center that would help Kassian with his game. DD is used to playing with these types of forwards. Patches is a power forward just like Kassian. Hudon and Desharnais both are small and Kassian is exactly the type of player they need on that line. That would help Desharnais and Hudon chip in offensively much more.
No.3: I predict that Gilbert will be traded to Pittsburgh for a decent prospect forward and a 6th round pick. Habs need physicality and no matter how bad Emelin's contract is, the Habs have to many puck moving D-Men. So I think Gilbert is out and that makes Pateryn another physical D-Man on the Habs. I don't the Habs will trade Emelin now. I think that they will trade him the year they have to sign Price. They will have to trade him for a draft pick or a prospect.
That pretty much sums up my predictions. Let me know what you think. Go Habs Go!
31 Aug 2015 19:10:05
Lehtera would be a great fit on the Habs
31 Aug 2015 13:33:19
I was kidding. Pearson should be worth malholtra. Pearson only had 16 points last year
30 Aug 2015 20:43:22
Ok, I'll add Lekhonen.
30 Aug 2015 20:39:30
Give them Desharnais and a 3rd round pick. DD will be used at LW
30 Aug 2015 12:40:15
Why would they. All this is more value than Marleau. Plus, he's getting old
