Proposal: Isaac Howard to MON

[Jared Dunn]

Isaac Howard + Connor Sheary (minor dump) + 2025 2nd for 17th overall + 2025 4th

Assumes Habs have spoken to the player and can sign him

Sheary's cap hit is basically buried and comes off the books next year anyway. No reason to package with Howard. I think a lot of teams are beating this offer in TB's eyes by dangling a decent defensive prospect.

I know Sheary's cap hit is near irrelevant but cap space is cap space, it's certainly not doing the heavy lifting in the offer it's more of a throw in but maybe on the second half, would be interesting who gets offered i suppose

Just make it Howard for #17 overall, that looks more simple and fair to me.

While the value is pretty fair, I still just think TB would prefer someone who is going to be able to play sooner. I may be delusional but I would think the Kings, who are in need of some youth and some scoring touch, would entertain the idea of Howard + picks of some kind for Brandt Clarke. Maybe a similar offer to Philly for Cam York. Something like that. I don't think JBB is just going to sell him for a draft pick who might or might not be Isaac Howard level in 3 years when the window will probably be closed.

I can't speak for Montreal fans but I'm not sure I'd do this in their position. It makes no sense to give Tampa anything they actually need or something as potentially valuable as pick 17 that they can turn around and flip

So a first and a fourth for Howard and a year of Sheary

EDIT: Wait no you want a 2025 second as well? Get out.

Isn't there a thread for this on the front page?

That would be a big no from the Kings.

It's a stretch in the sense that LA would need to talk to Howard and if he agrees to play there, I don't see why they wouldn't. Clarke was scratched a ton over the past season and will be blocked from developing unless Gavrikov walks. Otherwise I honestly don't even think Brisebois will care if he ends up with the compensatory pick.

 

[Guitpik]

Kings have no place for Howard, IF he even makes the big club. There is zero chance they’re going to trade their top young defensive player for a minuscule guess. Clarke played his first NHL season and progressed throughout the season. His time scratched was not a result of his play, Hiller addressed that at the time.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Don't Habs have their Howard clone in Sam Harris?

 

[Power Surge]

I said we probably need a roster player for Howard but I would still consider this.

I'm not sure why MTL would do this because it seems Howard is dictating where he wants to go.

We have no leverage so it's better to let him go and we are awarded a 2nd.

I personally hope no one signs him next year and that will teach players coming out that they can't always get what they want

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Howard is not a C. Therefore no from Habs.

 

[shello]

Tampa fans seem a little delusional on Howard’s value

 

[Rschmitz]

Tampa fans seem a little delusional on Howard’s value

That's funny because there is an entire thread in this forum with much better offers from quite a few different fanbases. Two Tampa fans chimed into this thread saying this too good of a deal for us.

Sure but the Bolts think their window is now they would be looking for a player one would think.

The Kings may have some interest but definitely not at the cost of Clarke.

So a bad coach making bad decisions makes the player available. Also Gavirkov is a LD so that has nothing to do with Clarke who’s a RD.

Seems fair providing Howard will sign with the Habs. He’s coming 22 next season so he would fit in with the Habs young core group.

don't think he has that value personally but I was in between a 2nd and 3rd coming back from Tampa

Clarke played 78 RS games. He missed 4 out of 88 total games for the Kings.
