ok i'll give it a shot

MTL : Dach + Reinbacher + MTL first 2026 + Roy

VAN : EP + 4th 2025

Dach had a ruff start but he's getting there now, he could take their second line center.
Plus 3 great future pieces.

EP is a great player with skills, he could sure drive the first line on the Habs with Slaf and Laine.

Not the prime part of the package. They are young players proven in the NHL that the Canucks can use at center and both are still RFA when their contracts expire. They could remain who they are today or improve. I say they improve but how much is anybody's guess.
Both of these players have little to no trade value, especially given the Canucks depth on the wing.

They basically gave away a seconder rounder to the Black Hawks to offload a player in Jason Dickinson who had about the same value at the time of that trade.

2 first rounders sounds nice but even with his "problems" EP40 is basically a 70 point guy who is excellent both ways and would be the #1 center in Montreal.


Habs 1st and Flames/Panthers 1st is the key offer. Those are probably picks 10 and 15 or something close to that. Why do you and so many others keep ignoring the prime parts and are obsessive with Dach and Newhook devalues like it's impossible for them to improve moving forward. These are not pieces like Gallagher and Anderson bud.
Those first rounders aren't really high enough to roll the dice on EP as other teams would be able to offer much better packages.


Habs know what we have with Dach and Newhook. You are trying to create this false narrative that they are major parts of the package. False

So basically Reinbacher (who is a good piece) and what right now is a 13th overall pick and maybe goes up to 20th if EP40 slots into the Habs lineup the rest of the year then?


Dach had a ruff start but he's getting there now, he could take their second line center.
Plus 3 great future pieces.
Any team with Dach as their #2 center is dead in the water, heck right now he is basically the Habs #3 Center.

Alos Roy is anothing burger and wouldn't slot in on the wing in Vancouver.

EP is a great player with skills, he could sure drive the first line on the Habs with Slaf and Laine.
We know his skillset and thus respectively reject your offer maybe if the Canucks go on a rebuild, which they won't do they do something like this.

Reinbacher, highest of firsts this year and Hage for EP40 and Hoglander.

That being said I'm not even sure if the Canucks do that and there is the whole salary cap problem as well.

Trade him and build up the backend.

I'd rather have a steady D and maybe less goals... than Pettersson pouting, not scoring, and having your ass clenched all game because Lankinen gets shelled for 50 shots.
Pettersson has some of the best 2 way numbers on Vancouver. If you trade him they probably get shelled even worse unless they're getting a clear top pairing D back

In terms of what? A 1/1 or 2/1 trade or a 5/1 trade I have proposed? This context is important. Are we not allowed to propose a futures package and compare that to the Wings offer? See my point? We are not the only ones proposing a futures package (in case you didn't notice)

Newhook is not a busting prospect. He is a middle 6F who is a winger but can play center (as insurance if someone gets hurt). Don't confuse yourself with a middle 6F asset that is not the 2C you want and then go on an insult the player. It's a stupid HF board game to play.

I don't think you are comprehending this well and I'll give you your own advice with "listening". Let me put it in bold and capital letters for you. IF THE CANUCKS DON'T LIKE THE 1/1 OR 2/1 OFFERS AND START TO CONSIDER A FUTURES PACKAGE, THE HABS CAN ENAGE. IF YOU LIKE THE BYRAM/COZENS OFFER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, HABS CAN'T OFFER IT AND WE ARE OUT OF THE TRADE NEGIOATIONS.

I have seen other offers that are meh and worse than mine and no attacks towards that fan base or poster. Seems like some of you are obsessed with the Habs offers. Other offers slide by with no insults but when the Habs offer something you don't like, you go hostile. :nod:
5 pages later and you’re still telling everyone what a great offer you’ve made, refusing to acknowledge any criticisms and painting them all as “hostility”. you may actually be the one poster softer than EP40 himself

If it's true that Vancouver is interested in Dobson.

TO NYI: Pettersson, Hoglander and Desharnais
TO VAN: Nelson and Dobson
Islanders make this trade, but would need to send another contract out to make the $$$ work.
