Post-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Day: March 7, 2025: Montreal stands pat

[The Great Weal]

Robertson-Hintz-Granlund
Marchment-Duchene-Rantanen
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Back-Steel-Dadonov

That's like 3 1st lines and a 4th line

 

[red devil]

 

[bleuetbio]

From what we know, dont expect to be traded. He's the "glue" of our team. Even if he gets slower, I expect him to be extended

 

[Vachon23]

Dallas will have a freaking good team

 

[Be a Hab]

Not at these prices, Hughes isn't going to sell the future for a rental

I think Beck should be playing in Laval but we'll see.

I'm hoping for a last minute Bargain Bin type trade tomorrow

We could maybe afford to trade a late 2nd or 3rd rounder. I'm not too bothered if we dont either

Savard? God, I hope not. Reinbacher will take his spot next year.

He's Doug Murray slow now.

This needs to be pinned at the top lol. Not only would it be out of character for KH to take part in bidding wars of this type but I would be pretty upset if he were to take part in such a tight trade market for such a major piece. You'd pay a massive premium.

I expect that from my other teams in other sports I follow with their idiot front offices, not from HuGo. At least I really hope not.

They need to do something at center. You cant seriously have your 2nd line center playing 8 mins a night during a playoffs push. Get something done.

 

[The Great Weal]

What a roller coaster of emotions for Avs fans. Finally get that 2C but then not long after their biggest rivals adds their former star winger. Add in the fact that Duchene is on the team too and I really hope we get this matchup in the playoffs.

Our 2nd line is actually the Evans line

 

[HabsMD97]

Canes getting f***ed lmao LOVE to see it

Robertson-Hintz-Granlund
Marchment-Duchene-Rantanen
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Back-Steel-Dadonov

That's like 3 1st lines and a 4th line

unfortunately for them their RD is amongst the worst in the league

Yeah as good as that forward core is, depending on what was given up for Rantanen, paying more for a guy like Dobson would make them more well rounded.

 

[bleuetbio]

Savard? God, I hope not. Reinbacher will take his spot next year.

He's Doug Murray slow now.

Apparently, all that chemistry is about Savard. He's the link between differences, make everything outside the ice easier and it reflect inside

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Robertson-Hintz-Granlund
Marchment-Duchene-Rantanen
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Back-Steel-Dadonov

That's like 3 1st lines and a 4th line

Presumably at least one of them would be in the trade.

 

[The Great Weal]

I’m expecting Bourque.

 

[red devil]

Roslovic got a Rolex from Rantanen to give him #96, good deal for 12 games

 

[Nicko999]

Please Hughes don't be a buyer. We've seen nice progression but if he makes the mistake of sacrificing some prospects for rentals or reclamation projects, I would be very pissed.
We can be buyers next season when we are in a playoffs spot.

He won’t buy for rentals

If he buys it’s for someone who’s gonna be here next season

 

[Redux91]

Lmao
GG Carolina , what were you even thinking

 

[Runner77]

Is this accurate? If it is, a suitor will appreciate it:



Regardless, this happened and that’s exactly the type of dogged determination and assholery that teams value in the playoffs:

He gets the veteran pass like Weber.

 

[Runner77]

He gets the veteran pass like Weber.

Veteran Pass Privileges ought to beget their own trade return, on top of what the player will fetch for his other attributes.

 

[smirob]

If Byfield is available I’d be very interested.

 

[sheed36]

That Brock Nelson trade is insane. Florida, Tampa Bay and Colorado have really geared up.

Toronto standing pat?

I guess Tre doesn't want to pay, so he doesn't get to play. Yet anyway

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Apparently, Carolina is getting Stankoven for Rantanen. If that's true, it kind of salvages them losing Necas. He's younger & cheaper; however he's also small, and they don't exactly have a big lineup to begin with.
