Deadline deal that just makes too much sense

Team: 2017-18 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 14, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The Big IF's:

IF Montreal is doing as well as they expect, but still feel they need an offensive upgrade to put them over the top as true contenders,

IF Vancouver also plays as expected (poorly), but the Sedins still show they can play at a high level in the offensive zone, and become open to the idea of going on a playoff run with a contending team at the deadline.

Both Scherbak and Juulsen will be longshots to crack this Montreal roster and could be the principle pieces coming back for the twins. I also threw in retained salary and defensive depth (Gudbranson) for an additional 2nd round pick coming back to Van, but that could be removed if the Habs find defensive help elsewhere.

I tried to spread the talent around the lineup instead of stacking the top two lines.

I'm a Canucks fan, and while I like the idea of the Sedins playing their entire career with the same franchise, I'd be very happy to see them be able to hoist the Cup before they retire.

If the Canucks can get that for the sedin's and edler, That would make 2 seasons in a row his TDL deals made the canucks future better.

Adding Edler will not happen without adding significantly more. Though I do agree the both Sedins will have to be 50% retained to make it fit.

The original trade could happen but many more picks have to be included. Montreal also might not have to include Plekanec's contract if they do not add much salary as they would have over $30M in deadline cap space as of today. I'm thinking the only way Vancouver does this is for something like:

H. Sedin ($3.5M)
D. Sedin ($3.5M)
Gudbranson

For:

Scherbak
Juulsen
Fucale
2018 1st
2018 2nd
Conditional 2019 pick (1st if Montreal makes the Stanley Cup finals or resigns any one player, 2nd round pick otherwise)

It is a lot to pay but each Sedin on their own is worth one high priced rental (considering lesser rentals go for a 1st and prospect have each Sedin go for a blue chip prospect, 1st, and other piece is fair especially at 50%). With both and Gudbranson added the cost will be completely nuts.

MTL can't add 10M of salary juts like that. Plekanec is only there to offset some salary so they can make it fit. Secondly Gudbranson is a RHD, which the habs enough of and need LHD more. that is where Edler would make more sense. Anyways, Vancouver can only retain on one more contract I believe so i don't think it would work.

As usual we're on similar pages Marco. As you mentioned the Canucks could only retain on one of the Sedins this year, and Edler would also need to waive his NTC and is more than a rental player. But I like the return overall for the rebuilding Canucks

This was presented as a deadline deal. Montreal may only have $8M in cap space but at the deadline they can add over $30M if they don't add any today. It can fit but if this changes and Plecanec has to go back then that's fine but he won't add value to the deal for Vancouver.
