Proposal: MTL & BUFF

[Lockin17]

Buffalo could sure use a shake up and make a hockey trade.

MTL needs a 2C and are willing to OVERPAY

MTL : Ghule + Hage (A Prospect at Center) + Kirby Dach + first 2027
for
BUFF : Tage Thompson

Guhle and Dahlin would kick ass together.
Dach takes a spot at center.
Buff downgrade up front but upgrade on D
Plus Buff as some good prospect comming up , Heleinus , Hage , Ostlund , Kulich

MTL gets Thompson and solidify their top 6.

Sabres say no

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Would love Tage. 1a + 1b with Suzuki would be great. Id be worried about our defense

 

[MOGlLNY]

NO

 

[Baksfamous112]

talk about an insanely huge overpayment. No interest from this Habs fan

Nahh

Hutson-Reinbacher (probably one of the best line in the NHL playing 25 minutes)
Matheson-Carrier
Wifi-Mailloux
Struble

 

[tsujimoto74]

NO

Yup that about covers it. Absolutely the f*** not.

 

[truthbluth]

You will get zero takes and zero earnest counters from Sabres fans.

Reinbacher being a major uncertainty. How has he looked in Laval? Haven’t really heard much

Looks like the best D in Laval every game , but injury's are breaking up is advance.

BTW medicine today are crazy good, he will be fine in the future

 

[JianYang]

The question becomes who does Buffalo have to replace Thompson, and who does Montreal have to replace guhle?

They are both seen as integral peices to their respective clubs and I doubt Buffalo has the appetite to go down the prospect well again and again, making Hage and draft picks less appealing.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

We can't afford to lose Guhle in order to get a #2C... It makes no sense, Slafy, stop it.

 

[wetcoast]

Sabres say no

Are you kidding that's a steal for the Sabers IMO, if anything the Habs are overpaying here.

The OP wasn't wrong though the Sabers need some sort of shakeup.

Really?

 

[wetcoast]

Really?

Yes Guhle is the type of top pairing/top 4 Dman any team wants in the playoffs and I'm really high on Hage, plus the 27 first rounder for Tage I'd take that in a second if I was Buffalo.

 

[eojsmada]

Montreal should not be paying so much for Thompson.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...this is a NO from both sides...so NO...

 

[eojsmada]

...this is a NO from both sides...so NO...

Yeah...both parties should just keep their assets and Montreal should let Hage/Beck develop into that position. It's free, you already have them. Let them sort it out. You're not in a Cup window...so you have time.

 

[truthbluth]

The OP wasn't wrong though the Sabers need some sort of shakeup.

Tage and Dahlin are totally untouchable.
I mean seriously, there are only two assets in the whole organization that won’t be traded.

 

[wetcoast]

Basically agree with this strategy 100%.

This offer while nice doesn’t cause the Sabres to move their number 1 center

 

[eojsmada]

Basically agree with this strategy 100%.

Patience is what got them here...steady building and development will see them through. Don't take the shortcuts when you are so close to the end of the tunnel.

I get why Dahlin is untouchable but no idea on why Tage would be,he is 27 and isn't that elite, except at scoring goals and seems to get injured at times.

Like I said if I were the Sabers, I'd make that deal in a second.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Montreal doesn't do this either.
not a chance, regardless of the Buffalo hate for the proposal.
And Tage is a special player
