Trades

MTL

2016 2nd

Grade: B

This was very good value for an average defenceman. Gorges barely lasted 4 seasons with the Sabres. Good trade by the Habs

BUF

Josh Gorges

MTL

Jeff Petry

Grade: A+

Absolute steal for a legit top 4 d-man. Petry has been great for Montreal and Edmonton took a big loss here

EDM

2015 2nd

MTL

Phil Danault
2018 2nd

Grade: A+

What was Chicago thinking here? I knew this was a bad trade the moment it happened. Weise is a career 4th liner/AHL forward. The Habs got a selke level centre and a 2nd here. Highway robbery

CHI

Dale Weise
Tomas Fleischmann

MTL

2017 2nd
2018 2nd

Grade: B-

This was good value for Eller but he was one of the best 3C's at the time. The return wasn't bad but it's what they did with the return that effects this trade.

WSH

Lars Eller

MTL

Andrew Shaw

Grade: D

A pretty big overpayment for gritty bottom 6 forward. An overpayment that netted the Hawks Alex Debrincat

CHI

2016 2nd
2016 2nd

MTL

Shea Weber

Grade: C

One of the most controversial trades in Habs history. Weber actually became the superior player as of right now but Subban was playing great hockey at the time this trade happened.

Weber is also on a stupidly long deal but this is more of a concern for Nashville if he chooses to retire and the recapture penalty happens

NSH

PK Subban

MTL

Jonathan Drouin
2018 cond. 6th

Grade: D

Although Drouin has the potential to be really good, Sergachev would have filled a massive hole on the Habs D. We are seeing just how good Sergachev is and Tampa is absolutely stacked with him in the lineup.
Drouin has shown flashes but is never consistent whereas Sergachev looks ready to be a top 2 D in the near future

TBL

Mikhail Sergachev
2018 cond. 2nd

MTL

Kerby Rychel
Rinat Valiev
2018 2nd

Grade: A

Bergevin fleeced Toronto here. Plek was a rental who really was at the end of his career. A pretty much free 2nd for the Habs here

TOR

Tomas Plekanec
Kyle Baun

MTL

Max Domi

Grade: C

Neither player really shined here. Galchenyuk was terribly misused and treated badly by the media. Domi has some signs of brilliance but never really put it together for long stretches

ARI

Alex Galchenyuk

10.

MTL

Joel Armia
Steve Mason
2019 7th
2020 4th

Grade: A

A top 9 forward, a cap dump and 2 picks for a struggling forward.
Bergy clear winner here

WPG

Simon Bourque

MTL

Tomas Tatar
Nick Suzuki
2019 2nd

Grade: A-

Pacioretty was a great winger on the Habs and Vegas got the key extension.
But.. Suzuki is looking like a legit top 6C and Tatar was just icing on the cake which they can flip for a high pick

VGK

Max Pacioretty

MTL

2020 2nd
2020 7th
2021 3rd

Grade: A

Good work here by selling high on Shaw. Again...What is Chicago doing? Shaw is also like one more injury away from hanging up his skates

CHI

Andrew Shaw

MTL

2020 2nd
2021 cond. 4th

Grade: A+

2 picks, one being a 2nd for a guy who normally would slot as a 6/7th D on most teams

STL

Marco Scandella

MTL

2020 3rd

Grade: B

Solid return for a struggling veteran that tha Habs literally just signed. Probably could have fetched a bit more imo

You're a little hard. No way Tatar + Suzuki + Norlinder isn't a+.
Domi vs Galchenyuk should be at least A imo. Galchenyuk is getting nowhere and we will soon get a nice return for Domi.
Weber for Subban is probably a B+. We got the best leader in the league for a team in rebuild, he's less expensive and plays way better. Doesn't seem to slow down for now.
Danault + Romanov for Weise and Fleischmann... I'm still laughing.

Not bad, not bad

I would say the Pacioretti trade worked out for Vegas just as good as it did for Montreal. I mean Suzuki is doing great and Tatar is not bad either, but also, Vegas will go to another round in the playoffs and Pacioretti is a key piece there. So I don't think they regret that trade either. Montreal is just rebuilding and Vegas is not.

Rather solid analysis, but there is one thing that makes me go hmmm...

"2 picks, one being a 2nd for a guy [Scandella] who normally would slot as a 6/7th D on most teams"

I agree that Bergy did well to grab a decent pick+ for a pending RFA. However, he partnered Parayko on the defending champs/West leaders, so maybe the Habs just didn't get the most out of him.

Quoting: Suzuki_Cup

I think the Pacioretty trade worked for both parties. He's an absolute machine for Vegas and if he helps them win the cup this year, I might even side with Vegas on that one tbh . Tatar at the time was terrible and a healthy scratch in the playoffs. The extension to pacioretty is key here

Think the Weber and Domi trades deserve higher grades.

Also we traded Shaw back to Chicago recouping one of those picks so didnt turn out horrible.
