How long has this rumor been out there?  Pretty nice deal if you ask me.

This is exactly the kind of long term hockey trade that I suspected JBott was thinking about when he talked about the deadline. We weren't trading for rentals, nor were we going to sell.

Montour was a name we talked about a lot back in the expansion draft when Anaheim had all those defense men.

What's the term on Montour contact?

1 more yr at 3.3 mil roughly then an RFA.

He's got until 2020-2021 at $3.3M or so... then RFA.

I just hope people temper expectations and don't think we just got a budding star or anything like that. He's a nice piece, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go.

Better or worse than Risto? Seems worse IMO. Looks like McCabe

That’s fair.  But this is a guy leaf fans were drooling over so seeing them pissed off is a nice bonus to all of this ?

I believe this is a depth move for this year. Look for Risto to be moved in off season or Bogo at next years deadline.

I still like Beaulieu's game and believe he is a solid third line pair.  I would rather have moved Scandella, but now he is hurt.

You wouldn't if you have seen him on the Amerks this season. He's been surpassed by Borgen on the depth chart. 

Well you are starting to make me feel better already lol ?

I think he's a better passer and skater than McCabe. And it really depends what you think of Risto. It's hard for me to judge straight up, but I'd rather pay Montour $3.5M than Risto $5.5M.

Montour = Less offense than Risto, more offense than McCabe.  Much better defensively/muh better hockey IQ than either of them.  Solid solid trade.  Guhle was never a JB guy and those late 1st are a bit hit or miss and the 2019 draft is supposed to have a sever dropoff after the high teens anyway

2nd pairing RHD.  Like the move.  Hope they don't end up trading away the other 1st unless it's part of a package for something really special.
