So out of curiosity, was anyone listening to TVA tonight? Are they still crapping on this kid?

There's a record of Bergevin's trade history and it's not that good. If you look it up he barely won 50% of the time, and when he won a trade he would blunder it with a stupid move.

The assists will probably slow down when Suz stop scoring on 27% of his shots. But i don't think he will "fall off a cliff"

Irrelevant trades are irrelevant.
Getting Nick Suzuki, the best #1 center this club has had since Vincent Damphousse (and he may turn out better), overpowers any minuscule wins or losses in the myriad of other trades the Maestro did.
Losing Sergachev for Drouin, a gamble 50% of the people agreed with at the time, is not really important. Sergachev is good but overrated. I wouldn't trade Guhle for him, for example. Not by a long shot.
So the long-term damage it did to the club is not that bad. Meanwhile getting Suzuki illuminates the sky for the next 15 years.

With how good Dach has been, it makes you wonder if we will try and go for Laffy too. Guy can be way better than what he has shown.

Wow.
Just wow. Not just the filthy passes, but the play to get up after the borderline hit by Petterson to screen Jarry on Caufield's goal and throw Petterson do the ice in so doing showed the level of f**k you in his game, too.
About time we had a #3OA work out for us ;-)
And kudos to whichever HFHabs colleague coined "Curvy Duck". Love it.

Dach looks kind of slim honestly. If he gets bigger, I think he might become even scarier out there in terms of throwing people around.

That was the stuff of nightmares.
It would be incredible although I don’t know what asset we would have to give up?

Indeed, another reason to keep Dach at wing is that Hughes has to figure out which of Monahan and Dvorak to keep or trades.

I rather go for Dubois.
Dubois is going to cost us 8 million a year but he's going to push us maybe 5 spots up the overal standings.
Both would be nice too but the Rangers are too invested in him, for now.
Monahan is playing well but let's not forget his injury history.
I'd trade him and tell him the door is open for him. Maybe 5x5, but if he has a decent year, he will get more from others.

Right now? They will want our first.
My value on Laf is a late 1st. If he has another 30 point season, a mid 2nd. If he steps up into 60 points they won't trade him.
Dubois
On the surface a top 9 of these nine going forward would be nice.
Caufield-Suzuki-Dach
Slaf-Dubois-Mesar
Anderson-Monohan-Gallagher
There’s talent in there and speed, size, some fight, toughness, experience, youth.
Things are shaping up…..dunno if we can finish bottom 5 this year, but I’ll easily trade that in for entertainment like I saw last night and deep playoff runs!!
Yager or Fantilli would aure look good in that mix though
I’m truly at that Blue pill/Red pill moment
There were very few of us that got excited when the trade was announced.
Very happy to see now that more people are getting behind Dach and are starting to see his potential.

Why in the world would Hughes target Lafreniere? Dach's situation was far different; he had an untapped upside that Laff doesn't appear to have. No reason to even consider this move.

.the skills were always apparent. But some guys have skills but can never put it together to produce. We've seen that with Drouin and Armia.
Really glad Dach can use his skills to br effective. He has a lot of talent.
I can't believe how good Dach looks. He won't keep up this pace, but 50ish points is now a very reasonable expectation, which would be freakin solid.

And Beck, Farrell and Heineman may push for Monahan, Gallagher and Anderson's spots in the top 9.
I liked it from the get go and I’m a huge Romanov fan!!
Question was always that wrist but it would seem like that wrist is well healed and Hughes overwhelmingly fleeced the Hawks.
Hawks drafted 5’10 Nazar with the pick we acquired ….like we have Mesar, Beck, Farrell, Kidney, Roy in that Nazar mole who are just if not more talented then Frank.
Great trade!!!
Confidence begets more confidence. Our young guys have it in such a crucial part of their career. These early games this season is laying the ground work for the next 10 years of their career. Kirbys play along with the rest can't be understated. This is the best possible scenario for our team.
Bedard would have been great but not at the cost of the rest of these guys.

The beauty of a deep prospect pool….oh….and we have 11 picks in the next draft including 2 in the 1st round and another 2 in round 1 of ‘25
I’m targeting Dubois. I love his game, talent and size and believe his attributes would complement well our little chickens who are about to blow the door down to the NHL!!!
