Montreal sends:
A. Galchenyuk
to Philadelphia for:
S. Couturier
The Canadiens are looking desperately for a centre and while Couturier's stats don't impress, he has the potential at 24 to develop into a true number one centre, in my opinion
The Flyers on the other hand are blessed with many centres, too many perhaps. Nolan Patrick is NHL ready and could potentially slot into their lineup next season, so they can afford to give up an asset like Couturier. Galchenyuk isn't the centerman that the Canadiens drafted him to be and is better suited to the wing, and the Flyers would love his firepower.
Let me know your thoughts!

No from philly.

Braydon Schenn deal kinda messed this scenario up. Not sure what he was thinking.
3.) 26 Jun 2017 16:19:11
Hell no from Montreal 😂😂😂Galchenyuk is better younger and had like 10 more points than couturier in 10 less games in a season where injuries ruined his year.
4.) 26 Jun 2017 16:42:54
Btw couturier will never be a number 1 center maybe second.
5.) 26 Jun 2017 17:33:50
Alikhan, Galchenyuk will never be a number 1 centre man either.
6.) 26 Jun 2017 21:13:55
Aikhan Couturier is a very good two way center. No he is probably never going to be a #1 but you seem to think Galchenyuk is better than anyone in any proposal. Maybe you should keep him then.

Galchenyuk and coutourier shouldn't be compared playing style and points wise. They're too different. Just value wise. The way the habs were trying to win games, with the best goalie in the world and trading offensive d for stud solid low risk D, they should like coutourier over Galchenyuk. But what a disaster they have become in the last 18 months, who knows how they value anyone. I'm still laughing at the habs first rounder saying he's excited to go to a great organization like Toronto. haha.

Unbiased Jim I'll admit that was funny.

No from Philly. Couturier is not an offensive dynamo, but he brings so much to the game: excellent penalty killing, matchup against the other teams' top lines, and he fits well with the Flyers' long term vision. Schenn never fit well and hence, he was gone. Galchenyuk merely adds another Schenn type problem.

HYPOTHETICAL post comments/modifications below.
Canadiens send:
N. Beaulieu
N. Scherbak
2017 1st Round Pick
Highest 2017 2nd Round Pick (MTL or CHI)
to Colorado for:
M. Duchene
2017 3rd Round Pick
Thoughts?
1.) 28 Feb 2017 04:37:55
Starts with serg and a 1st and col doesn't not have a 3rd.
2.) 28 Feb 2017 05:18:13
@Lindss No way MTL gives up Sergachev, I agree that Duchene is valuable but not enough to give up their top prospect. What about taking out the pick from COL altogether?
3.) 28 Feb 2017 05:32:43
Linds is right man. If Colorado isn't getting Sergachev then Montreal isn't getting Duchene lol.
4.) 28 Feb 2017 15:32:20
add in mccarron or juulsen and i think sakic takes the deal.
5.) 28 Feb 2017 16:29:07
Better package required out of Montreal to see Duchy move.
Agree Sergachev's name has to be in the deal.
Galchunyk, Sergachev 1st 2017 would do it.
Gallagher, Sergachev 1st 2017 would be borderline.
Sakic's playing hardball. Overpay will be required to pry duchy outta Colorado I'm afraid.
6.) 28 Feb 2017 16:39:23
Lol for those 3 assets were getting Landy as well.
28 Feb 2017 05:18:13

Brent Burns alone is far more valuable than everything the Oilers would be giving up in this trade.
28 Feb 2017 03:11:02
Oilers won't be able to afford Stamkos after extending McDavid, Draisatl, and Nurse.
