Friedman: Hanzal talks heating up (multiple teams interested)

[Habsawce]

CapFriendly only lists Mac as a RW not Center but if he can play Center then yes he would be an excellent add for Arizona for Hanzal but would MB trade McCarron probably not for a pending UFA.

He was converted to centre 3 years ago in London, has been playing there ever since.

 

[NobleSix]

Radulov is sick and won't be playing tomorrow. They called up Chris Terry earlier this week but he did not do much of anything.

This would be solid reasoning if the habs didn't already have Ghetto and Carr up as well. I personally think he is getting show cased for a trade.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Montreal would be pretty damn scary down the middle come playoff time.

If Plekanec can regain his previous form, absolutely, but we have a hole at 2C right now considering his play.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Okay thanks, Pretty sure that Chayka would love to add McCarron then for Hanzal. More then likely Chayka would love to add another 6'6 Center in McCarron then.

Yotes aren't getting McCarron for a rental. promise. Hudon maybe, not Big Mac

I don't think Bergevin is stupid enough to give Hudon either. Bergevin is definitely seasoning him à la Carboneau. He's going to be our 3C for years to come in the next two years.

Hanzal talks heating up???

"Hanzal... So hot right now... Hanzal..."

Noted Coyotes unofficial mouthpiece Craig Morgan kinda putting the brakes on this:

Translation:
Is Hanzal getting traded sometime between now the trade deadline? VERY LIKELY. Does that mean its soon? not necessarily.

It's just as well I guess. A bit early in the season to make these types of moves. It was fun though.

Morgan just says whatever the team tells him to.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

Hopefully MB has been talking with Arizona. I think it may be early to make such a move also. But remember, the Petry deal at the deadline 2 years ago was being negotiated for months before it happened, apparently.

 

[Curufinwe]

What is his current injury?

What is his current injury?

I believe he's back playing but someone mentioned chronic problems he could play through if need be.

 

[member 256847]

Habs don't really need him
Danault is playing well and we have Galchenyuk and Pleks

Since Danault has moved up the 4th line looks mediocre. I'd rather see Danault back to 4th line duty with an upgrade at 3C for better depth.

Hanzal makes sense, all dependent on the price.

its not too early to make moves this is actually getting close to where most teams know what they have and what they will need to get for the playoff run so theyll be some deals come in soon enough

 

[rt]

If Hudon is really a center, he might make some sense. What about Danault? Is he a no-go? In a one-for-one deal?

 

[BatVader]

Hanzal is definitely a Marc Bergevin kinda deal. LOL
Why get actual talent when you can get a part-time playing project.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

If the sharks are interested, it's probably something around Tierney for Hanzal. If Hertl is injured again I could see SJ targeting Hanzal. Even if they want to move Hertl back with the Joes, I could see SJ making an offer. Hanzal would help immensely in the faceoff circle

 

[BobbyShehan]

Hanzal is terribly underrated from fans in the East. Obviously, the health concerns diminish his value on the trade market so the Yotes can't expect a great return for an often injured UFA to be. Hudon from Mtl might be a good pick for them for the future. He also is terribly underrated afaic. Good hockey trade if the $$$ can be figured out.

As for $$$, Desharnais would have to be involved but that's not necessarily a bad thing for Arizona. He'd help while the young guys are developing and there's even a slight possibility that they could flip him at the deadline. Habs could even retain a bit.

C Desharnais (.75M retained)
C/LW Hudon
2017 3rd rd. pick (2nd if Hanzal plays 15 playoff games)

~for~

C Hanzal
C Mueller

We'd likely try to get you to add Mueller for the Ice Caps. They'd need him after losing Hudon and other call-ups.

give or take a b level prospect toss in that chayka likes .

thats the best I can do

Mos def no go. He's been great for us.

I would give you Plekanec for this package.

Hudon played C in the AHL and did a great job, he's been playing LW the last year however.
