Thread: Canes

KK &gt; Anderson. Neither contract looks great right now and both are coming off down years. However, Anderson is 7 years older, and KK outproduced him while playing at a more valuable position. As for everything else, that just doesn't get Orlov. He'd instantly become Montreal's most complete defenseman. He's not a cap dump, I have no idea where this has come from. He is the Skjei replacement. You're a LONG way short here</div></div>
KK &gt; Anderson
KK’s contract &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Anderson’s
Carolina adds in a KK for Anderson swap

Orlov also wouldn’t be the habs most complete defenseman, that would still be Guhle. He wouldn’t be the best defensively nor offensively. And if it means they can resign Guentzel, Necas and Jarvis, I’m sure Carolina would be open for a Harris and Kovacevic for Orlov swap. Habs wouldn’t tho

Thread: Demidov available at 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Montreal1st</b></div><div>i think Harris may be under rated, even by Montreal fans. With that said, I am sure he will have a long career and even grab many draft picks at trade deadline over the next decade, but he is probably "just a guy", what I am curious about is what fans think of Columbus russians...I like them all and wonder what each of the 3 are valued at from people that get to watch them often.</div></div>

We adore them, Marchenko most of all. One of the game day giveaways near the end of the year was a <a href="https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/video/nesting-dolls-giveaway-6349817704112" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">set of Russian nesting dolls</a>, featuring him, Voronkov, Chinakhov, and Provorov. I have a set, in fact. Marchenko became a fan favorite extremely quickly his first year. Chinakhov was starting to break out this year, looking fantastic on Gaudreau’s opposite wing even, when he got hurt. Voronkov is harder to read because he’s huge and has such soft hands but isn’t very physical, and there were rumors out of his KHL club last season that he was homesick here. The three together formed such an exciting line that Pascal Vincent was compelled to explain in media why he chose broke it up, and doing it was still one of the most common points of contention for fans against PV even in game 82. Of course a new GM may come in and decide to get rid of all of them, but as of right now with JD still in charge, they’re probably all safe to assume are on the roster next year.

(and sure, nothing against Harris, he’s just not valuable at all to Columbus, where he would definitely be in Cleveland)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Montreal1st</b></div><div>Would Columbus take Demidov or a defenseman? You think a young defenseman and 2 first to move up one spot is reasonable??</div></div>

I think Columbus takes their BPA and doesn’t worry about need or position, and keeping fourth means they can do so. The prospect pool is strong. There is no glaring need. They have no issues getting Russians over and there will almost certainly be at least four on the roster next season if not five and a half. If Demidov is there at four, Columbus just takes him and loses no sleep over lost assets at the end of the round. They certainly do not consider including Marchenko for the privilege of an AHL defense prospect and a late pick that should be the cost of moving up, period.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Pointless for both teams. Montreal needs Guhle and Winnipeg doesn't. Winnipeg needs Perfetti and Montreal doesn't.</div></div>
I find this a truly bizarre mis-take. Montreal can clearly benefit from having Perfetti as shown by the lineup above (and he also provides some disaster insurance in the not-unlikely event that the fragile Dach gets injured again). Winnipeg have 4 NHL-quality LhDs under team control for next season: Morrissey, Samberg, Stanley and Heinola. Guhle is clearly superior to the latter pair right now and even if he isn't superior to Samberg already, he has a far higher upside. Some Habs fans biased in favor of <strong>all</strong> of their players may object to exchanging Guhle for a top-line LW, but with the overpopulation on the left side, this trade makes sense for both teams. I've criticized many of the OP's ideas in the past, but my hat's off to a Montreal adherent who can make such a well-envisioned trade. Well done!
