Thunder Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's draft day folks! I thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread to post all rumours, thoughts etc. leading to the draft and throughout. Some big names potentially on the move. -Lots of talk surrounding Pacioretty being traded today (possibly to LAK) -ROR -do the Sabres move him before having to pay him a 7.5M bonus July 1st. -Could Karlsson be moved today? (I doubt it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raken65 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 As a major Habs fan.. I would do Patches and one of those 2nd rounders for ROR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipper Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'd be happy if the Canucks took almost anyone but Tkachuk with their pick. But I was hoping for anyone but Virtanan when he was picked, and that didn't work out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwell Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 My guess is that the Nucks end up with Hughes. In any case, here's my list: 1. Dahlin (BUF) 2. Svechnikov (CAR) 3. Kotkaniemi (MTL) 4. Zadina (OTT) 5. Dobson (ARZ) 6. Bouchard (DET) 7. Hughes (VAN) 8. Tkachuk (CHI) 9. Wahlstrom (NYR) 10. Boqvist (EDM) 11. Hayton (NYI) 12. Smith (NYI) 13. Farabee (DAL) 14. Kravtsov (PHI) 15. Samuelsson (FLA) 16. Veleno (COL) 17. Kupari (NJD) 18. Bokk (CBJ) 19. Lundestrom (PHI) 20. Noel (LAK) 21. Sandin (SJS) 22. Denisenko (OTT) 23. Kaut (ANA) 24. Wilde (MIN) 25. Alexeyev (TOR) 26. Miller (NYR) 27. Merkley (CHI) 28. Dellandrea (NYR) 29. Thomas (STL) 30. Berggren (DET) 31. Woo (WSH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would I, unless the third overall pick also "lost his love for the game" this season. I've been hard on Bergevin and I will continue to be hard on him. But trading for O'Reilly would be really, really stupid. It's time to stop bailing this sinking ship - we're going to have to go full rebuild here. $7.5 million over the next 5 years for an aging centre is not the solution.

Salros Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 When you have a player like Price in a market like Montreal, it's tough to do a full rebuild. For that to happen, Price must go. Would Winnipeg consider Price for Hellebuyck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I got my blinders on but we don't need full re build we can't anyway when paying Price that contract. Patches next contract will probably be similar to ROR, that deal makes sense to me.

originaljroc Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm not in Montreal, but I don't see them in a full rebuild situation. They just need a centre and probably two of them, so O'Reilly makes a lot of sense, although I wouldn't give up the third overall pick to do it. Those seconds though ... Both Price and Weber are bouncing back this season. I like Patches in a contract year to recoup his value, too. And Drouin will be better with a year under his belt in the Montreal media market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphdog Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Heres how I see it unfolding ROR for Patches and a third Hayes for a second. Orielly Hayes Danault De la rose That's a huge upgrade down the middle. Edited June 22, 2018 by Ralphdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegDunlop Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Happy to hear you guys think I'm going too far when I say full rebuild. It's just that when I look at what Montreal has to offer and what it can get, I don't see them becoming a true contender unless Price plays his very best hockey, in which case anything can happen (just ask Gilbert Dionne). Weber's great but without a puck mover next to him, he's useless. As for Price for Helle, I'd pull the trigger on that so fast, it makes me think it's not a viable option.

byz Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Drouin - ROR - Gallagher would start looking like a legitimate top line. Montreal has the goaltending, and hopefully Weber can get back to #1D form. They could bounce back a bit with some smart moves this summer. Also, the Oilers have been telegraphing that Ty Smith is their guy at #10. I'm personally *really* hoping Wahlstrom drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate thing is this market will not allow a full rebuild for better or worse. Price is the key this guy is a year or two away removed from being the best goalie in the world and if he gets back to form well man the possibilities are endless ( blinders on keeping the rain out of my eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originaljroc Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 On the Oilers front, I just hope Chia doesn't go nuts. Slow and steady wins the race. Panic trades have been his biggest downfall. I have no problem if they keep No. 10 and just take the best player available, regardless of position, but something tells me he will panic again.
