<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>On most teams Brodin is a top pair defenceman he just has Suter in front of him in MN.</div></div>
I'm not sure I agree with that assessment and even so MTL's management is very high on Romanov and extremely unlikely to move him.
Also most of your fellow Minnesota fans on this site seem to value Brodin around 2 second round picks or a 1st and 3rd from what I've seen. This doesn't seem to indicate they believe him to be a top pairing guy.

Yeah and Romanov is going to be a big part of that. Brodin is nice and I'd really like him on the Habs but he's not a top pairing guy and we won't pay that price for him.

I would love to see this happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilfan1717</b></div><div>Wow - I thought the return was generous, if anything</div></div>
Well from my perspective Puljujarvi is very much a question mark who has been nothing more than replacement level in the NHL in 3 seasons this far. He's doing well right now in Finland but I wouldn't be ready to bet big on him transitioning that success to the NHL yet.
Yamamoto is probably where we differ most in our evaluation. I was never a fan of his and don't think he will end up being a top 6 player. He reminds me of David Desharnais; good playmaker and powerplay specialist but not really a guy you like seeing against top opposition at 5 on 5.
Jones is a good player and probably more of a 5/6 guy who could play up if needed like our Cale Fleury, would be a good addition but not at the price of Gallagher.
Essentially this comes down to how optimistic a person is of Yamamoto and Puljujarvi's future. You're understandably more so than me.
Also there are almost no deals I would be ok with involving Gallagher. I know it's hard to understand for fans of other teams how important he is to the Habs but he is the one guy you can always count on to create a spark when the team comes out flat. Having watched the team lack vigor for most of my life, I'd rather not have that happen again.

Gallagher's not going anywhere, but if he were it would cost more than that. I mean at least make the 2nd pick a 1st to start off with.

Domi
The biggest issue with the MTL trade besides sheer value (which is quite subjective); is what incentive do they have to make that trade ?
Strome is a pending UFA and center is the stronger part of the Habs prospect pool. DeAngelo is a RHD which is probably the strongest part of MTL's roster, so not ideal. Andersson is nice but he's shown less than KK so that's not very enticing either, and Hajek isn't a world beater either.
So to summarize the Habs would be giving up 2 players who are under team control and creating holes to add a pending UFA and RHD they don't need. That is the reason why this trade is no good for the Habs imo.

He sure could help with that shot. Problem is that Julien would definitely not be comfortable with him on at 5 on 5 and he really relies heavily on rolling 4 lines.

Or not get him at all.
Given how things ended here I don't think either party wants a second go. Also he doesn't seem like he'd be a great fit on the team systems-wise.

Is This Two Step an Improvement
The Habs trade seems decent enough though a bit steep for my liking. Though given the ages of Petry and Weber I think management would prefer to keep Brook and steer you towards guys like Hillis, Olofsson (Jakob not Gustav obviously), McShane or Ikonen.

So you'd prefer something more like a player for player trade ?
That would probably be a lot trickier to get since teams looking to make the playoffs usually don't like moving roster players.
From the Habs I'd be willing to move a prospect and pick for him but I don't think there's a roster player that would make sense for both sides unfortunately.

I think he might possibly be a fit with the Habs, depending on the price of course.

One line and a defense
I really don't see any reason for MTL to trade Domi for RNH. He's younger, skilled, plays with grit and versatile as either wing or center. He's also an RFA compared to RNH being a pending UFA.

Way I see it Domi and RNH are similar value with Domi likely getting the edge because he's younger, Puljujarvi and Poehling is at best a wash for EDM and Weal is a good bottom 6er.
So why is it that MTL is throwing in the 1st rounder ?

MTL says NO like always
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>This is by far the hardest fanbase to negotiate with on this platform. I don't think the sense of trade value is understood because everyone who wears the habs sweater or is expected to immediately is elevated beyond their real worth by the fans. Obviously we don't expect a trade for someone who doesn't work just because the value is fair, however the value being placed on Caufield is immediately far greater than it should be. He's no McDavid... Eichel... Draisaitl... Pettersson
You won't be getting a Galchenyuk for Domi trade every time.</div></div>
There are 2 points here that probably explain this.
Firstly the Habs fanbase is very, very large and tend to be divided on many issues. There will always be at least 1 who disagrees on just about anything someone proposes. I definitely get how that would seem frustrating from the outside, although believe me it often feels worse from the inside.
Secondly the Habs are currently doing very well and most fans probably don't see the need to rock the boat too much. Also the team has basically never had a good prospect pool (except for the class of 2007) since the early 90's and are therefore quite protective of it. Impatience has really been the bane of previous GMs and done more harm than good in the past imo *cough* McDonough for Gomez. Also trading multiple 1st and 2nd round picks for quick fixes when they should instead have been building around Price, Pacioretty, Subban, Markov and Plekanec with youth. Many of us fans would like them to have learned from those mistakes and not repeat them.
P.S. sorry about the long read, I just feel it's better I try to explain as thoroughly as I can to avoid as many misunderstandings as possible.

New Core MTL TOR amp Ottawa

We just don't want to trade them. It's that simple.
Gallagher is the most important player on the team and just isn't available unless there is a stupid overpay involved.
Domi for his part is young, talented and gritty. There isn't really a good reason for moving him.
Also when teams are doing well they typically don't trade away core pieces.

Who's he being traded for when they refuse ? Hall ?
So we're supposed to be overjoyed with trading our best prospect for a pending UFA who likely doesn't re-sign with the team in the summer ?

Thoughts on Galchenyuk
Spot on analysis Jesus.
I think he's like a Vanek type player. Can produce a very respectable amount of offense but very streaky and definitely no coach's favorite player. Also tends to be a bit of a liability defensively. In a more sheltered role he could probably be a kind of luxury 3rd liner and pp specialist.

Kovalchuk
Why are you cluttering up the trade by adding Maatta and Cagiulla ? If you're trading them Gus they don't need Maatta, and Cagiulla isn't much of an upgrade over anyone on MTL's roster right now.
Just make it Lehkonen and 2nd for Gus. It's simpler and doesn't take up more roster spots for MTL.
