Post-Game Talk: TRADE DEADLINE 2024

[Goalfield13]

Because we'd have nobody to play on the PP. I know Matheson makes a ton of mistakes, but he's still far and away the best (and really only) offensive dman on the team as of now.

Matheson's play on the PP is not a factor in keeping him. We can put Guhle there for now and see how he does.

 

[Tyson]

If that's Hughes price, he shouldn't budge from it because they'll get it...either at this deadline, this summer or next deadline.

Stand you ground Kent, you don't need to trade a player with another year left on his contract.

 

[LaP]

We'll see. Matheson has his warts. This could affect both his current supposedly high trade value, as well as what he can get on his next contract. But for sure, Hughes seems like the type who deal him if the demands are too high. I think that's what just happened with Monahan.

Petry had plenty of warts too. He was not called Jeff Petrin for no reason. I called it for Petry a whole two years before the end of his contract. I was seeing the train coming and knowing MB i knew he would try to pass despite the warning signs. The longer Matheson do 50 points a year the more he'll think he is worth. Only way he settles for a cheap contract is if he slows down before the end of the current contract but i don't think he will. I think with the TOI he gets he'll keep doing 50 points and ask for about the same as Petry did and i would not be the one signing that contract for sure.

KH will not trade Savard for less than a 1st. If he does i'll be the most surprised person in the province.

 

[Justin11]

Yeah, if Hutson emerges, it will be interesting to see at that point if Hughes elects to keep both Hutson and Matheson, or move Matheson (or Hutson).

I was thinking the same, but It will take some time for Hutson to emerge.

 

[salbutera]

Y'all hate it but the optimal move is to move Matheson, his price will never ever get higher than this it's all downhill from here

Which player with term has been moved this deadline?

 

[LaP]

Isn't Brodie a UFA after this year anyway?

Yes.

Which player with term has been moved this deadline?

Byram

Matheson being the only offensive dman on the team is definitely a reason to keep him. I like Guhle but he does nothing offensively, and it's not because he's not getting PP time. He rarely makes an offensive play.

Yes, Petry was going to turn 34 in the first year of his new contract. Really good Hughes was able to unload it before it became an albatross, like Anderson's has become.

BUT, peak Petry was better defensively than any level of defensive play I've ever seen Matheson consistently reach. Petry was a late bloomer. So I'm still hoping Matheson can improve his defensive game. But his coverage and reads sometimes are horrendous.

 

[salbutera]

Yes.

For a fellow RFA

Ryan Johansen

Ryan Johansen

Well played sir, well played!

 

[tazsub3]

I’m still lost how the oilers waited so long to trade their first and then picks up Henrique . I will go on record calling it the most bone head deadline trade of the year

 

[Habs]

What would be value worthy of trading him? Be realistic...

without knowing how the management feels about our blueline, i'm not sure. I don't care for the guy but he does provide some value here no doubt. I think next year he's passed by all the kids, then we may be kicking ourselves for not sending him off. I doubt they get offered more than a 2nd rounder at best

 

[le_sean]

Don't trade Savard! Too valuable helping the young D!

Funny how many of these reports have surfaced recently, as if it was the strategy of a front office trying to increase a player’s value.

 

[McGees]

Don't trade Savard! Too valuable helping the young D!

Trade Savard! We have 34 D!

The way the young D talk about Savard is enough for me to keep him until next TDL. The guy will one day be the Defense coach for the Habs imo.

Trade Savard! We have 34 D!

35 but whose counting

It’s boneheaded if they don’t improve on Ceci. I’m surprised they didn’t make a bigger trade to try and get Gudas from the Ducks.

 

[The Great Weal]

Edmundson to Toronto, plan the parade

 

[red devil]

 

[Habby4Life]

Trade Savard! We have 34 D!

I agree. It’s David Savard not Serge. The habs D will be just fine without him.

 

[Goalfield13]

The thing I worry about Savard is his age. We decide to keep him for next year, and he loses a step or gets hurt, that's a big opportunity lost. I was against trading him before, but now I want it done.

 

[Tyson]

Edmundson to Toronto, plan the parade

Man it's like Treliving doesn't know what the f*** he is doing. Another LD?

 

[tazsub3]

Yea I expected they would be the most agressive to pick up one of the top d at the deadline . Look maybe I should wait till tomorrow but so far , huge fail from my point of view

 

[LaP]

They have to improve Ceci. Just getting Henrique would be like when we just got Vanek and the following year just got Petry. You either go in or you don't. Ceci in their top 4 wont cut it not against the Avs and Khights lineup and probably not against the Nucks if they land Guentzle.
