Mtl: Delarose, 2nd, 2nd (buff)
Win: Ladd
Mtl: Plekanec, 1st
NJ: Henrique
Pacioretty-Henrique-Ladd
Not a bad playoff 1st line
Thoughts?

NJ wants plekanec why?
WPG wants to take that trash for their captain why?

De la Rose is good but it'd take more than him and 2 seconds for ladd.

Lol Habs fans at it again.

I agree with showtime. Look at the most recent trades over the last couple years involving top-six forward UFAs. Vermette got a 1st and good prospect and Ladd is much better.

@shanker do your research before you comment. Delarose was 34th overall in 2013 and qas considered one of the best defensive forwards in the draft. Along with 2 2nd round picks, one from buffalo via Minnesota and a Montreal one, 3 2nd round picks at the deadline for a potential ufa for winnipeg is a good deal, and we know how bergevin is good at making deals. Just do some backup search before you deem everything "trash" just because you don't know about it.

oh it apears i don't need to do research, since you just did it for me.
1. draft position is meaningless years after being drafted
2. de l rose will be a 3rd liner, like you say, defensive forward. nothing special there
3. 2nd round picks are far more often nothing than they are something. you might want to do your research there.
4. no, 3 2nd round picks for ladd is not a good deal.
5. your arbitrary "bergevin is a good negotiator" claim has no standing
6. you, my friend, seem to be the one that needs to do some background research.
there, i even nicely organized it into a set of points for you.

Actually Piccante it is not a good proposal for Ladd. Ladd will go for a better prospect and better picks. Doesn't matter how good Bergevin is at "making trades". Cheveldayoff is not stupid and won't trade his captain for that.

So according to you a seventh round pick is an over payment for buff as he was drafted in the eighth round
Draft position is irrelevant.

Jets don't need 2nd round picks and those pick don't have a whole lot of value unless there traded at the draft. They'd just get a whole lot worse after that trade.
