Value of: Hayton to Montreal at the draft

[SannywithoutCompy]

Utah fans, any chance of a fit here? Montreal has 2 1sts which will be in the mid teens plus plenty of prospects. Is there something in particular you guys need?

What role would Hayton fill with the Habs?

 

[AKL]

Could be wrong because I don't follow the team anymore, but I would think they need to be patient with their young NHL players and prospects more than they need more draft picks.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

What role would Hayton fill with the Habs?

Two-way LHC to slot in on the 2nd line and move Newhook down the lineup. Would be paired with Demidov and Laine.

Is a club with aspirations of winning playing Hayton in a role that high in the lineup?
Imo the Habs a great 2C in Suzuki, who can play the matchup role. They need an elite, point producing 1 C. Hayton ain’t that. He would be cheap to acquire though. That’s for certain.

Suzuki is 100% a 1C, we gotta stop this lol. Hayton wouldn't be the driver on that line, he would be tasked with the defensive assignments more than anything.

He's got great underlyings but bad shooting luck, feels like there's more to be had there and I think he'd fit in perfectly with Montreal

In what world is Suzuki a 2C ? Ridiculous take.

Ah yes! Scheifele, Point, Thomas, Stutzle, Thompson, Aho, Hischier and Barkov are all great 2C as well.

Does Utah have desire to move Hayton?

I'd think no but maybe I am uninformed.

Nick Suzuki is currently the 6th most productive center in the NHL and ranks 13th overall among all skaters.
What exactly qualifies as a "true #1 center" in your book?


Honestly, I’m not sure if you’ve been in a coma since the start of the season, but this is getting ridiculous — it's turning into pure targeted criticism at this point.


Since the Four Nations break (last 21 games):
12 goals, 20 assists, 32 points, +14
He's 2nd in the entire NHL in points during that stretch, only behind Robert Thomas.


Let’s be clear:
The Habs aren’t looking for a number one center — they already have one.

I genuinely doubt it. They have been vocal about wanting to add rather subtract

Wonder if there could be room in the deal for someone like Matheson - I'm no fan of his but in a smaller role he'd probably do better, and Utah could certainly use a better veteran than Ian Cole on their 2nd pairing. Would have to add to him obviously, but maybe there's something there?

Suzuki is top 6 in scoring by centers this year. On a team without a 2C option of note. He's upped his scoring year to year and gotten better defensively. Takes ALL the hard match ups.

Poster clearly doesn't follow Suzuki.

But he'll also need to show consistency to prove that he's a good 1C. Many teams don't have a true 1C anyways.

Lol not taking the “2C Suzuki” bait. But Hayton would be a decent 2C on a lot of Cup teams. FLA, TBL, COL, STL, CHI all won with a 2C similar in calibre (or worse) to Hayton.

Hayton to Mtl, anyone? Thread has been hijacked again. Now a Nick Suzuki thread. Whats the offer to get Hayton? Whats the ask?

I think Utah and MTL have similar needs, so I’m not sure how MTL could get him out of Utah without a considerable overpayment. Not worth it, imo.

Hayton for Reinbacher? Hate player 3/4 C for Habs. Utes take the big risk of n Reinbacher?

 

[Paradoxe]

Of course m Suzuki is playing the 1C role. The Gabs don’t have an elite scoring 1C. I think Suzuki is a fantastic player, but as a 2C. Hayton would be the Habs 3 C. So it’s a trade that would make zero sense.

Dude, refrain from ever posting again about Habs players. You do not have what it takes to evaluate any of them. Suzuki a 2 c, or Reibacher vs Hayton ... you're a joke. Shame on you.

f*** this lol. How many teams have a 90 point 2C? EDM. End of list.

Saying he’s a 2C is saying he’s between 30th and 60th best in the league at his position.

Everyone knows you aren’t serious and what your intent here is.

I don't think he meant it that way. The team would indeed be in a great spot if Suzuki was to be moved to 2c. Unrealistic sure.

He’s mad that Hutson shit all over his planned Michkov Calder parade. He’s one of the ones that had been talking about it since at least before the season started, if not longer. Check the threads lol. They were legitimately acting like it was a foregone conclusion until about a month or two ago. When Torts was fired, and Michkov got a few extra points, they were filled with hope only for it to be swiftly crushed again lol. What you’re reading from him are not serious opinions. It’s the bitterness of an angry fan lmao.

There is no way Hughes agree to this. He is not going to sell low in Reinbacher in his D+2, especially considering how he played when not injured.
