Thread: Montreal Bold Trades
Always like reading these posts and seeing people list out everything bad about a trade without acknowledging the good.

The Detroit trade needs to be AA not Mantha, they still have high hopes for him and Larkin together. But it does give them a shot at getting to unite the Russian brothers if Carolina goes with Zadina.

The Buffalo trade is actually one of the fairest Iv seen on here. I don’t think Schlemko would be a part of it though, more likely a Josh Brooks or maybe even a young goalie prospect since MTL has a couple and Buffalo isn’t that deep in their talent pool there. I would also replace Lehkonen for Byron, Buffalo has an absolutely horrible defensive capability from their forwards, ROR was really the only player that knew what he was doing his own zone, Byron helps them on the penalty kill and defensive zone situations.

I don’t like the Minnesota trade for Minnesota for the sole reason that their left wing would be an aging one that with a Pacioretty extension would be expensive. Minnesota may not have the cap space to hold onto Coyle in the future but that’s something they can fix before it happens.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>What does the Colorado deal have to do with what is going to happen NOW...... that has absolutely no bearing on today and tomorrow.

The offer for ROR would not be considered by GMBots..... plain and simple..... does it matter if there is a quality element in a trade that is a no? What ROR offers to the Sabres is worth more than 2 years of Chucky, a cap dump in Schlmeko, a bottom 6 LW &amp; a draft pick in 2 years.

The team published obviously believes in ROR since they made him the teams #1C...... I guess that should not even be considered in the equation.</div></div>

Just because he would be our #1 C doesn’t mean he is an elite #1 center. He can play as a #1 but he is still only a 60 point guy who specializes more in the defensive zone. Adding more value to this trad le would paying the price for an elite #1 center.

The basic value of the trade is there, four pieces, one elite piece, two more pieces that fill needs and are usable, plus a decently high pick. As I said in my other post Schlemko probably gets subbed out, but the value is there, just look at the trade history of the NHL.
