    Default RNH trade idea - Oilers and Habs

    Ideally it seems the Oil want to use RNH as a two-way #3C with an option as a #2C. But $6m seems a lot for that...

    what do you lot think of a deal with the Habs: RNH for Plekanec and a 1st or a very good prospect.

    RNH and Plekanec have the same salary, and Plekanec (last year of contract) would fit fine for a year as #3C on the Oil. Great at FO and can still score.

    Would be the new management clearing the decks again, but if they get that other part back in the deal, in turn it could give the Habs a centre that they desperately need.

    I think the moment Montreal traded away Sergachev, they lost their big chance of landing a true #1 center via trade.

    The Oilers do not need Plekanec; they already have depth down the middle. Letestu is still signed for one more year, Caggiula and Ryan Strome are also natural centers.

    so one year of a fading 2nd/3rd line center + a mid to late 1st round pick + Poehling for RNH ?

    Why would the Oilers do that?
    They did trade Hall for Larsson, so it's possible.

    That trade actually worked out pretty good for the Oilers, but we've been down that road many, many times already.

    He said a 1st OR a very good prospect, so it's not even as good as you mentioned... Yeah, RNH is worth more than a 1st round pick, so there's no reason for the Oilers to do that. Maybe if Habs add another strong piece, so make it two good prospects and a 1st round pick, then the Oilers might start thinking about it.

    The only way Montreal gets the Oilers attention is by offering B.Gallagher.

    You mean a full season of McDavid helped to forget that the Oilers traded a #1 LW for a 2nd pairing D? yeah we did go down that times many many times already

    Interesting. Gallagher is a really good player, much better NHL value than fantasy value.

    Some would argue the same of RNH.

    Why would the Oilers want to trade away their 3rd best forward?

    I agree. Which is why it's an interesting idea.

    Some might feel it's a bit of an overkill to have RNH has a 3rd line center since it seems to be a popular idea in Edmonton to put Draisaitl at center like Pittsburgh has Malkin-Crosby.

    No doubt MTL wants a gifted young center

    the question is do they, or rather CAN they pay the price to acquire that player

    With the names and or picks listed so far on this thread its a non starter

    IF say EDM wanted to move RNH, why not to a team like Carolina that has the defensive depth to make that kind of deal ?
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

    Thats why I said earlier, the minute the Habs dealt away Sergachev for Drouin, they pretty much lost the chance to land any meaningful center. If there's one thing we've learned in todays NHL; young centers are like right-handed offensive Dmen. Hard to acquire and expensive.
