GDT: 2024 Summer Free Agency (July 1st)

[donghabs98]

Ah the classic, "get a reporter to connect your player to the Habs to turn up the pressure on the team you want them to sign with to up the money". It never fails

 

[Le Barron de HF]

He's small but I wouldn't mind giving Lizotte a cheap 1 year deal as extra depth.

A number of notable draft busts here

Hell yeah let's add small players

I think he would have been more valuable to this team last year than Ylonen or the waiver fodder we saw on 4th line

 

[c3z4r]

That's just as weak as the Aho offer.

You gotta go like 6, have the sens get a 1st and a 3rd I think it is in order for them to consider letting him go.

Which they might to get a top 10 pick

All it takes is one Suzuki or Monty injury and I could see us drafting top 5 again, so I wouldn't risk an offer sheet with a potential 1st rounder.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Throw them Matheson

Getting rid of fodder for new fodder isn't the solution. We need guys like Kolesar, Stenlund, Carrier on the 4th line.

Throw them Matheson

I hate to break it to folks but Matheson is almost untouchable at this juncture.

I don't disagree but Lizotte is a versatile player 50% on faceoffs in his career. 11 goals last year If Carrier is too expensive he can be a good role player for us or stopgap

 

[Rapala]

It is not, I think it's actually pretty good when players will be put in their right chair....can't know for sure as I never really saw that bottom 6 last year.

Really you'd better explain to me what exactly those right chairs are because I've watched the same group get beaten down for two years running.
Jake Evans was forced to a fourth line two season ago he pouted the entire time until he got bumped because of injury.
Last year he lucked out with the Dach and Dvorak situation this year he'll likely be asked to play that 4th line roll again not his cup of tea.
RHP played on a fourth line last season I watched him on one shift where he literally got stopped dead in his tracks multiple times while trying to move up the ice. Pezz runs around hitting everyone he can reach and the other team just turn around and take it out on his smaller line mates.
We have some potential fourth line guys who will play in Laval but they are probably a year out maybe two.

 

[Agalloch]

Matheson will stay for AT LEAST another season.

Which is sad cause he's so overrated

He is needed at this point of the rebuild.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If the blues are looking for a LS, it's probably Struble as he fits the blues bigger, tougher mentality.

That said, if the Habs had to keep 1, I would prefer Struble over vanilla Harris

 

[Habsfan18]

Kane back to Detroit for another season.

Lots of the 2018 Team Canada crew.

Kane back to Detroit for another season.

Kane to Montreal rumors were so short lived that a pair of Kane 88 gloves couldn't make it to Trudeau airport.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

His turnovers gave us Demidov, good enough

 

[Treb]

Unless more moves are coming, I think we'll get a top6 RW on a short term contract. Backup plan is giving a spot to Roy or less likely Heineman/Farrell.

With Kovacevic out, wouldn't be surprised if Hutson makes the team plus the 7 that were there last year, so not really a spot for a FA. If one of Struble/Hutson is sent down, I could see a vet RD to play with Matheson and return Guhle to the left side.

It makes sense but Detroit has alot of players to re sign

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Media trying to sell big names into habs because we know tomorrow is gonna be boring as hell

What would you get for Struble from St. Louis? Not sure I see a fit.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The only thing i can see as this moment is to trade for mcgrosgros in Winnipeg.

Id rather give a first and a def than giving money to Perron
