Doubt that, 2 1sts and a good depth D on a cheap contract, holy overpay by Montreal!

I think it's an overpayment tbh. 2 firsts and Ekholm will be a rental

If NSH received two 1sts in a trade, they wouldn't be using either of them on an LD. Even if Ekholm gets traded, Guhle and Kulak aren't what the Preds would be looking for.

Don't think either Vegas or the Habs do that, Montreal has Primeau who will take over for Price in the future. Plus that is too much to commit to goal tending.

Guhle IS a LD and is projected to be a top 4 LD his ceiling is a top pairing LD provided he hits it. As an added bonus he can play the right side as well. Kulak is a very underrated player around the league you should check out his advanced stats. The guy gets no credit for his accomplishments.

Edit** misread that, my point was that the package was basically 2 1sts (Guhle and a 1st) and a depth D, No way Nashville gets that much for 1 year of Ekholm. Nashville was looking for 1st + 2nd + B prospect for 1.5 years of Ekholm at the deadline then because they were not out of the playoffs they removed him from the market. Most your getting for 1 year is 1st + B prospect now.

We shouldn't be trading one of the few forwards we have who's a threat to becoming an actual NHL RW for Norlinder.

Precisely. LD isn't a area of need for the Preds. Poile seems intent on re-signing Ekholm. The only way I see him getting moved, is if NSH gets offered an offensive prospect too good to say no to.

Edit: just saw your edit. The 1st + 2nd + B prospect package was never what NSH wanted for Ekholm per se. When rumours came out the Preds were selling, the media (Friedman maybe?) said he was looking for a Muzzin-like return, and everyone ran with that concept. Like I said, they don't seem to be interested in shopping Ekholm anymore though, so it doesn't really matter now.

I don't think the fit is there for either team to be honest. Montreal needs a PM LHD (Norlinder potentially) and we don't need anymore RW's we literally have so many we are being forced to play some on the left.

The SoCal team that would be in the market for a LD prospect (of whom Norlinder is one of four or five excellent ones in your larder) is Los Angeles, not Anaheim. Anaheim is weak on the right side, not the left: Fowler, Lindholm, Fleury, Larsson, Guhle, LaCombe, Thrun. Which is not to say that all of them will be with the team in two years.

So if they are not interested in moving Ekholm now who do you think they will leave exposed to Seattle?

Assuming there are no roster moves before then, I'd guess they protect Saros, Ekholm, Ellis, Fabbro, Josi, Forsberg, Arvidsson, Kunin, and one of Johansen/Duchene/Jarnkrok. I wouldn't be shocked if Ellis gets moved before then though.

Terry has actual NHL experience under his belt and looks at least like he's established himself as a legitimate if middling forward. Norlinder is a pure prospect, so Montreal would have to add a significant draft pick or other prospect.

Montreal also isn't really interested in trading Norlinder as they feel he fills their biggest need a PM LHD. Also as stated before wo have a surplus of RW so we don't need another one to play on the left side.

DUH!! That is what I said! The last thing Montreal needs is another RW! We currently have signed for next season Gallagher, Toffoli, Anderson, Caufield and Yelonen who are al RW's We would also prefer to resign Armia and maybe Perry for depth IF they were at the right price. If you count that is 7 RW's and 4 roster spots without including Terry. We literally have no room for Terry!

OMG! You don't read so well do you? Yes Toffoli, Anderson, Perry and Caufield all are able to play both sides. However our current roster is as follows

Tatar (LH) Danault (LH) Gallagher (RH)
Toffoli (RH) Suzuki (RH) Anderson (RH)
Perry (RH) Kotkaniemi (LH) Caufield (RH)
Byron (LH) Evans (RH) Lehkonen (LH)

Staal (LH)
Frolik (LH)
Armia (RH)

If we try to add Terry as well where does he fit ? He is not taking the spot of Gallagher, Anderson or Caufield. We won't play him on the 4th line, on the left side he is not beating Drouin, toffoli or Tatar and again we wouldn't play him on the 4th line. Keep arguing all you want but the fit is NOT there.

Terry is NOT getting 3rd line RW from Gallagher, Anderson or Caufield next year. Also I SAID rn we have Tatar, Drouin and Byron on the team also we would rather just re-sign Armia than overpay for Terry, and we are NOT trading Drouin unless he specifically requests a trade and it most definitely will NOT be for another OLDER goalie! Face it this ACGM SUCKS! Stop trying to defend it with lame arguements, Habs fans know better what we would and would not do and what our needs are than some random fan who only likes to TROLL us!
