Ok so I posted a trade for Jesse Puljujarvi to Montreal a couple days ago. The feedback I got is that he is not worth a first round pick at this point or to be more precise he's not worth Montreals first round pick is what was said. I still think mtl should add him to they're team because of Kotkaniemi. So we have a prospect who's in the same boat as Pul. Extremely talented but is not gaining the trust of Claude Julien. So here ya go

Mtl:Sherback, 2r 2019(the second latest), Cal Fleury

Edm:Jesse Puljujarvi

What has Puljujärvi done to make you want to risk 3 young pieces? He was great at a World Junior tourney but has he done anything else?

Still think this is too much from a habs fan.

I don't mind scherbak going back in the deal but in order to take another contract on now we would have to let 2 go back in the deal. when schlmko and weber return from injury we are going to have to lose somebody as it stands now. i assume schlmko will be dealt or waived but weber will still put us over the contract limit which means someone else will have to be moved as we'll. so in order for it to work it would have to be scherbak + current roster player. Unless another deal comes up where we trade a roster player for a prospect beforehand.

How is KK not gaining the trust of Julien? If he wasnt. he wouldn't be playing. unless I read that wrong. I know he's protecting him. but that doesn't mean he doesn't trust him. .

I don't mind the trade. I'd prefer we add Schlemko over Fluery. however not sure Edmonton would want Schlemko. or could afford his contract.
There is a strong Finnish presence on MTL., I don't know if that means a whole lot. but both Scherbac and Puljaarvi could maybe use a change . fresh start.

He speaks the same language as Kotkaniemi so Montreal should trade for him?

Sosa you have to stop you drinking I'm worried for you. Once u get sober you'll realize that my message clearly is about Nikita Sherback and not Kotkaniemi. The only part that Kotkaniemi is involve in is to say that they're both Fin him and pul. Sherback is the prospect whos in the same boat. he's not gaining Julien's trust so he's in AHl atm.

Thanks for the support Boom Boom
. Ya ya., I read it wrong. however, in your explanation. not once did Sherbac name come up. anyway. whatever. Lol. Hahah. that was Thanksgiving there Chochi. let it go . Find new material.

Also. BoomBoom. don't think Scherbac is in AHL? Is he. pretty sure he would have to clear waivers now, and pretty sure he would get scooped up right away.
I think he's just sitting in press box atm.
I have read that Habs may be interested in pursuing Muzzin.? Maybe Scherbac would be in some sort of a package to land him. Not sure . but. I'll go have my "hard plain water" and ponder what they should do.

Ya he's in AHL for Conditioning theyres a clause that let's u send a player for maximum 14 days to you AHL team just to train with the team and get a couple game. You're still technically in the NHL and get paid NHL salaryy.

So he doesn't have to clear waivers for that? I've never heard of it. the clause. but cool. once a season I take it? I thought he has just seen a healthy scratch all season. notice he doesn't have any AHL stats yet.

Sosa they'res 3-4 articles about it and they explain how it works. It's how I found out yesterday. I dint even know about it either.

Type Nikita Sherback conditioning.

It's been disappointing for schlemko since he came to the habs. Being injured two seasons in a row must be awful for the guy. he's actually a decent 3rd pair dman when healthy.

@sosa. I think he meant Scherbak isn’t gaining the trust so swapping him and Pulj could work for both.

01 Nov 2018 15:46:44
He questioned whether or not he read it wrong boom boom. I can see how he may have took it the other way. Plus like he said before when he's drinking you will know it lol.

@sosa I heard that about muzzin too. He would be a good pick up for a lot of teams. i feel like there would be a minor bidding war for him if he goes on the market. Habs would have to really step up, scherbak could be a part of a package but what else would be needed? May be more then we would be willing to part with. I'd like to have him in the line up though just the same.

Yeah. Lots of guys go on conditioning stints in the AHL. I assume he’s on a 2 way contract still so they can send him there and it protects him from waivers. If the player is on a 1 way contract, the player has to agree to it. Leafs did it a cpl years ago when Bernier was struggling in net and was on the bench. Rather than just sitting there, they asked his permission to send him to the Marlies, he accepted, played 4 games and let in 5 goals and had almost a .950 sv%. Then came back up. It can be used as a motivator to show how much better the NhL is than the AHL for players and why they have to work harder, can also be used as a confidence builder. Scherbak might be both.

Honestly Habby, I'm not sure what else we would have to give up. but, I don't know if I'd want to go down that route.
I think Habs should stay the course. let the team grow, we aren't in a position to be a contender, even with Muzzin. maybe in a year or 2. we can start adding peices that can help contend.
I like the development of some of the young guys.
Also. what is Muzzins contract. guess If I knew that, may change my mind
I see why you would want a guy like him. and so would I. just not sure we are ready.
I also want Scherbac to be a damn player. lol. Had really high hopes for him.

And thanks Jim. and Boomboom for educating me on that. didn't know you could do that.
