Don't shoot the messenger.

On the 1040 Pratt said this is the hot rumor of what is being offered.

To MTL 5OA

To VAN. 9 th OA 39 th OA and Brendan Gallagher.

That is a top 6 ready now player. Sergachev at 9 D fixed, and a second round pick like a Tyler Benson comparable. It also makes Rodin or Sven tradable which would probably be a third round pick.

It is something to think about if that type of offer is there.

Gallagher BC boy with four years left at 3.25 per.

Pretty interesting rumour, damn good value for the 5th if true IMO.

Pratt doesn't gain credibility just b/c this rumour is outrageously slanted in the Canucks' favour.
- RealityChecker

Could be benning’s asking price.

I am not saying he gains credibility. I am just forwarding his comments . I think Pratt is an ass.

- Tumbleweed

I could see that. No way I see mtl do that but if it was on the table I would jump at it.

That package could get 3 IMO.

I would want them to add a 2nd or 3rd, but I would be happy with Brown or Sergachev.

- VANTEL

Pretty hard to argue with that, I would as well even if I'm not a huge Gallagher fan.

Add another 2nd?

I think they are overpaying with that price already. 9, 39 and Gallagher for 5

- belcherbd

Of course you would know I am a fan of Gallagher

Love his style

If it is me I take the offer.
- VANTEL

Id take that offer without thinking, but at 9 i would take Jost

Of course you would know I am a fan of Gallagher

Love his style
- VANTEL

we're completely fleecing the Habs and I don't think its real but sh*t thats a trade i'd take in a heartbeat - Gallagher got more heart than all the Care Bears combined - Brown or Sergachev at 9 isnt a bad substitute for losing out on PLD or MT

Interesting…Gallagher to reunite with Lucic here?

- LordHumungous

Nope

BUT

Gallagher and JVirt together would make for great TV

Of course you would know I am a fan of Gallagher

- VANTEL

I do too, especially for that contract. I just have a hard time believing he created enough offense but has had 2 very good seasons so what do I know.

But if Columbus take Dubois I doubt the deal is still there.

- RealityChecker

Just from a value perspective, I think so too.

- LordHumungous

Okay I'll shoot the messenger here. Don't want Lucic for 6 yrs @ $6m. Gallagher definitely yes.

And the best part is you win the "won't trade down" Summer Troll Fest!

- VanHockeyGuy

It won't happen seeing Beenning doesn't have his customary 2 nd to add to the trade

Id take that offer without thinking, but at 9 i would take Jost
- phyllee

Lots of interesting guys potentially at 9. Keller, Nylander, Bean, Brown all in the mix as well.

That 39 pick could be pretty interesting as well.

Damnit Vantel, now you have given me hope that Benning gets a 2nd back....I had just come to grips without it.

But if Columbus take Dubois I doubt the deal is still there.
- VANTEL

Agree but I think a deal for Puljujarvi would fetch an even bigger package from someone else

Would you do Kadri + #30 for #5?

Probably not I'm assuming

No I'm pretty sure Benning is counting on Matthews dropping to 5. Just as likely
