HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #88: 2024 Off-Season Thread

[BLONG7]

Too much trouble everywhere he goes.

 

[Kosseca]

nope. top 6 W for sure... bad fit with the new team culture. dont want him around at all.

 

[WeThreeKings]

There's enough smoke around him and his ex wife/baby momma that I would not want that near the team and I doubt the Habs would either.

We need a top six. We need his toughness. He wants to play top six. We can get him cheap.

 

[red devil]

I could see Kane going on LTIR as his hips are messed up right now

[Bottle Rocket]

You mean pay something for him or even get him for free? Nope.

If I get a pretty good sweetener from the Oilers like a Holloway or a 1st, then maybe.

 

[morhilane]

No, I would not. Ceci has one year left. He's terrible but I'd take him.

This^

Take Ceci as a cap dump instead if they want cap relief, not Kane.

 

[morhilane]

690 says bring Patches back maybe.... why??

Can Patches still skate?

 

[the]

f*** no! He's a douche and I normally have a high tolerance for accepting douches but he's on another level of douchebagery.

 

[red devil]

Kane also has a full NMC until Feb 28, 2025 so he would decide on his future team if he were to get traded

good to know LTIR

he's what this team need, you are right... just not the attitude and mindset.

He scores, is tough and will defend his teammates. We only have Wifi and he cant fight everybody

 

[junyab]

No. He doesn't fit the culture and general direction of the club.

I think you have the right approach to what may come next: pray on team with cap problem. Kane is just not worth it. Again, on the ice he may be what we need but he's known to have off-ice issues. I dont want that around our yougn players.

 

[PhysicX]

I want the player, but not the baggage. So, it's a tough pass

If he needs the hip surgery that Kane got he's definitely out at least 6-8 months. Kane is the only player who had that surgery that was able to come back. Everyone was forced to LTIRetirement, so we definitely need to stay away.

If Edmonton's plan is to LTIR him then they still have $2.67m to maximize his LTIR. Plus, they can go 10% over the cap during summer.

They can sign both Holloway & Broberg at $1m, put Kane on LTIR during training camp, and they play the year with no cap space. It becomes an issue if Kane is ready to play by February of next year.

Who knows.
I am sure KH can find a better and healthy guy

 

[Trabdy2]

Still lots of time before training camp starts, but I'll be surprised if we don't add a Top 6 forward somehow by the time training camp rolls around. We really do need to bolster our 2nd line in the short term to make our team more competitive. I don't think it's sufficient if we use Anderson, RHP, or Gallagher in that spot, and I don't think Roy is ready for a Top 6 role (he may be suited more to a 3rd line role down the line to me, anyways).

 

[NeptunesTrident]

Not interested

 

[McGees]

 

[tazsub3]

Gallagher has gotten every single opportunity in the world to try and produce for the last handful of years. PP minutes, quality teammates, extra attacker mins, top 6 mins etc... you name it and he could barely produce.

His stats (abominable as it is) are inflated due to his preferential treatment. He's slow and can't keep up with plays, his offensive decision making is none existant, team worst +/-. He takes dumb penalties over and over without any repurcussions.

I'm not sure if he deserves to be in the lineup. All I see is someone who's hanging on due to favoritism by our coaching staff.


Fine, send him home. He either plays in AHL or he can stay home.

Bro he has a nmc can’t send to ahl . Not favoritism just contractual

Like you said, still time before next season, but there are some players still on the market : zegras, Necas, Laine, etc. and some team with cap problem that may yeild for trade opportunities. Also, wondering about arbitration if some team may be pushed into cap problem.

 

[Deus ex machina]

It was reported in a few tweets during July 1st or it may have been an article. Was shared a few times.

All right. Thanks.
Missed that one.

Holloway and broberg are not signing for $1m. The will demote a Ryan and maybe trade a McLeod
