Value of: Hayton to Montreal at the draft

[SannywithoutCompy]

Why would Utah trade Hayton for draft picks and prospects?

Don't know, hence both my first and my last question which you ignored for some reason. What are Utah's needs, and could there be a fit?

 

[Heldig]

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

Hayton is kind of Utah's 2nd C and their most pressing need is a 2C so...why?

 

[EquivalentStay]

Imo the Habs a great 2C in Suzuki, who can play the matchup role. They need an elite, point producing 1 C.

Bro, don't be a coward, address this absolutely brutal take, you were dumb enough to say it, now take your lumps, Suzuki is 1000%, by every single metric, a 1C. And I HATE the Habs.

I think a lot of folks outside Montreal aren't paying attention to the Habs. This is the first season in a while the team is making noise and it's really the first season where Suzuki has achieved quite this level of success. Credit where credit is due. He's been great.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Utah is in a similar position with the Habs. Doubt they are willing to part with Hayton, or if they are he's probably not the solution for the Habs.

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?

UFA like Stephenson I would go. Playmaking left shot veteran with a ring, nice fit between Laine and Demidov. Decent size and good on faceoffs.

What UFAs would fit that? Also I'd hope we wouldn't give a player like Stephenson the deal he got which may be a top 10 worst contract on the league.

 

[BLNY]

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

Where's the 'big risk'?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Utah passes, they are done acquiring picks.

I mean that's not the only thing on offer, this is a thread figuring out what Utah would want in return, not a proposal

 

[kinghock]

Why would Utah trade Hayton for draft picks and prospects?

Because Montreal fans sincerely believe they entitle to have the best for less.
You know it is Montreal after all.

 

[CostaRica]

Wait, was Chayka a genius after all picking Hayton so high in the draft

 

[Ford Prefect]

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.

Then you have no ability to evaluate hockey talent and your opinion is worthless. He's tied for 6th in scoring amongst centers, only 2 points behind Crosby. He plays a great 200 foot game, and while not this biggest guy, doesn't get pushed off the puck. And he's better than average in the faceoff dot. If he's not a 1C, then the league had only a handful of them.

So a 83pts probably close to 90pts at the end of the season center is a 2C? You are funny.

 

[TomKosto]

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.

Yup Carolina would be in a great spot with Aho as the 2nd C. Same goes for Tampa with Point, Fla with Barkov, Det with Larkin, StLouis with Thomas, TO with Mathews etc (all of them have less points than Nick). Lmfaoo

If either of you had read

b) the starting post in the thread

You'd realize I'm asking what Utah would be looking for in exchange for Hayton. I mentioned the draft picks as obviously available pieces, but there are other things that could be offered. I wasn't saying "2 1st round picks for Hayton, who says no?".

Unfortunately you seem to struggle with reading comprehension and just want to shit on the fanbase, so I'll finish by calling you a dolt and be on my way.

 

[TGWL]

I don't see Hayton getting 12 powerplay points on Montreal. He had 7 pp points in 8 games that bumps his production up. He's young which is a big plus, but I'd be careful with overpaying.

Utah wants young NHL players. Which young NHL players will MTL move for him?

Not a leaf fan eh lol. Who are you trying to kid?

 

[Rob Sense]

Montreal maybe should have drafted Hayton instead of Kotakaniassmi when they had the chance!

His contract ain't cheap and he has 6 more years on it. All the way until he's 37.

That was my mistake, didn't realize his contract was so long

 

[lanky]

Utah's weakest position is C.

Hayton isn't going anywhere without an upgrade in the works.

 

[lanky]

Hayton to MTL for 2 1sts in '25

Byfield to UTA for 3 1sts in '25 and Durzi

Yeah, I know this wouldn't happen, but it's fun to throw $hit out there.
