Proposal: Michael Hage, 16th & 17th for Caleb Desnoyers

[wintersej]

I agree, Hage is a former first rounder who looked real good in his first year at Uni. Desnoyers maybe French but that should not be factored into what his worth is. He can go anywhere from 5 to 10 at this point in time. Montreal COULD get a lot more for the package than Desnoyers

He will go between 3 and 7, and I would jump for joy as a Bruins fan if he made it to 7.

I think hans should use their assets to get a a 2 c that fit the team. 2026 first rounder, Reinbacher, both first this year, other prospects should also be on the table not mentioned, but they should not include Hage, he bleeds red white and blue, and if possible exclude Fowler aswell. Montreal is 1 team that can make good offers this summer

Reinbacher should most definitely NOT be on the table. 2-way RHD like how he's rounding out are too damn valuable. Their teen picks this year sure, probably one of Primeau or Dobes, I could see Mailloux being part of a package too. But not Reinbacher.

As for the OP:

I don't know if any team in the 3-8 range would make the deal. Desnoyers' draft stock has risen all year, can't see most teams at that point being willing to take two kicks at the can this year and Hage seems like a slice or two below Desnoyer prospect-wise now.

This draft sucks. This fan says no

 

[Rob Sense]

No one is trading Desnoyers to us because you throw-in those guys.

Delusions...

The initial offer is too much so never mind the so-called throw-ins. Desnoyers is good but he is not McDavid.

Well I didn't say that and the other poster didn't either.
Talking about delusions...

Hage just had a great year in the NCAA. Why do Habs fans want to trade him so much?

Desnoyers is probably the better player but he just as easily could not be. If Hage put up PPG in the NCAA in his D-1 he'd have gone top 10. I don't really get this thread.

I want the opinion of neutral fans. I've been roasted for proposing this on the Montreal board, so I wonder what you guys think.

Do you think the value is reasonable for both sides? Forget any Montreal factor, just purely in value.

Thanks!

Say he's projected 6-9 in the draft

Nobody is trading down from there to 16 and 17. Its a huge difference in this draft

Buffalo us currently at 9. They aren't trading down for more magic beans

Ateam needing to rebuild and starting now like Boston might do this

If Hage was currently available for the 2025 draft, where would he get selected? Top 10 seems plausible to me.

He doesn't speak French. That's enough for a lot of the fans and the media in Montreal. That's why they've been pushing a Slafkovsky for Lafreniere trade this week.

you know the offer last year was Chicago's 2025 first for your 5thOA 2024. It can still happen.

He actually speaks fluent French.
