Not even enough to Dump Nurse. Dach is worth a lot, MTL wouldn't give him for less than a top 10 pick, and Matheson is worth a 1st+

i disagree, the cap hit of nurse is bad which is why they’re also getting a 1st, 2nd and former 1st rounder. but nurse is far and away better than everybody else the habs currently have on the blue line. combine that with a plethora of skilled young forwards. habs get a veteran presence/true top pairing D to help lead a young team

You cannot be serious.

I’m telling you now, no one is taking Nurse for free, let alone give value for him, and I doubt that is even enough to take him. Even if you removed him, it would be far to little for Dach and Matheson.

Remove both Nurse and Dach, and you got something more reasonable

Yeah I don't think I would want to give up a first round pick for the third year in a row. When the team goes south our prospect pool would be empty

habs get the best player in the trade (also the worst contract, but still the best). massively improves their young D-core while trading from a place of depth (skilled forward)

bruins replace the debrusk sized hole in their top 6

utah gets the only openly mormon player in the league and a solid veteran defender to help their young d-core

i agree with sjs though. but i wanted kostin back on this team

It takes more to dump nurse than you think, bruins could just resign debrusk and get more for ullmark elsewhere and those players are useless to Utah

Calling Bourgault a solid prospect is absolutely laughable, he’s worth a 3rd, maybe a lat 2nd at best. And yeah, a late 1st and 2nd is the bare minimum for MTL to trade away Matheson.

Funny you’re the one calling me stupid, considering you though Nurse was worth Dach

buuuuut if he's not worth it, then he doesn't have value. get it?

and to be clear, he absolutely has negative value, and given the term, it will be near impossible to move. also, the former first round pick sucks, so it doesn't really matter that he's a former first round pick.

given that you published this, i wouldn't be calling anyone stupid.

that’s totally fair, despite the horrendous contract i still think nurse has value as a top pairing defender.

as for the boston trade, in my mind i see them going after lindholm in free agency, and i saw reports of debrusk possibly getting 6+, so this would be in theory a cheaper alternative for them to really improve their top 6 in 2 moves (kane trade & signing lindholm)

Not one non-Oilers team considers those trades.

The Habs are mid-rebuild, they don't need a true top pairing D right now. They have a veteran presence on D and if they needed a true top pairing D, they'd sign or trade for one instead of Nurse.

And if Nurse is a "true top pairing D", then Matheson, with a greater rate of productive D, more difficult minutes in Montreal and better relative impacts, is too.

Are you? There is absolutely no reason the Habs would value Nurse's on-ice value higher than Matheson's. Its just wrong to pretend either is a true top pair D.

Sure, nothing special, just a dude that has put more points than any Bruins defender since 1996

Why hell would MTL trade Matheson for only a late 1st?

For a defenseman who got 62 points playing the hardest minutes in the NHL last season (who also makes less than $5m for the next 2 years) I'd say that a likely very late 1st, a 2nd that will be no better than 64th overall and a prospect who seems to be stalling in the AHL isn't much at all.

bruins defensemen aren't running around structureless because the season doesn't matter and the games aren't important before the new year.

They also aren't soft as hell so bumps and bruises happen, like with Krugs 53 points in 64 games a couple years ago, and mcavoys 52 in 67.

but anyhow, for good hockey teams, that position isn't all about points, and matheson is nothing special.

tyson barrie is 1 year removed from 55 points and he’s basically worthless. evaluating defenders by their box score is basically pointless

Name me the guys that logged more minutes than Matheson this year, the list won’t be long.

Remove 2-3 min of ice time, and he loses 10 pts, but becomes a hella lot better defensively. Almost all his mistakes come from just playing too much

A guy that skates like him, that can notch points, and log minutes is definitely not nothing

Bud, the assets in your trade doesn’t even dump Nurse. And I’ll remind you that you wanted Dach on top of that.

Not sure what you’re trying to get to here
