Howard for Mailloux straight swap.

Howard for Mailloux straight swap.

again... why? MTL does not need another small W.

 

[Treb]

Howard doesn't fill a need.

No spot for Sheary in Montreal and I don't think they should replace a Laval vet with him.

Howard for Mailloux straight swap.

cmon man, no thx...have you watched Mailloux during playoffs? That has the chance to become Sergachev / Drouin light

To be fair, Howard is really the one with Drouin vibes.

Edit: I guess that's exactly what you mean, lol.

The small forward addiction in MTL is so real, we need players with size. Didn’t the series against Washington teach us anything?

 

[Fatass]

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.

Teams might make a decent offer (better than the second round compensation) if they get to talk to Howard and he agrees to sign before the trade. Otherwise it’s too much of a risk to offer more than the compensation. Howard is one season from picking his nhl team. That has to be a concern to any club.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

A draft pick would be fine for Howard. Do we want to win now? Yes, but a 1st rounder is a liquid asset that could be flipped for something else.

 

[FedorTyutin]

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

Assumes Habs have spoken to the player and can sign him

I don't really care about Howard to MON but I got to shout out the fact that you chose to write MON and that is awesome, thank you.

Saw a "player profile" type bit on Howard and he listed his favorite team growing up at Minnesota, also reportedly wants to play closer to home. I feel he is shooting for the Wild by not signing with Tampa.
