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

[Habs13]

There goes any Armia trade..

a second and a fourth for Luke Schenn.

.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Can't wait to finish 10th in the east with our expiring contracts

 

[TheBuriedHab]

If Kent keeps Savard I’m going to f***ing puke

Get the bucket ready.

 

[sampollock]

I know it's not a popular belief but I hope the Canadians miss the playoffs
Better pick

So no deal today

 

[le_sean]

Fans are finally into the games. Players are getting experience fighting for a spot and you’re just going to sit on your hands? No one is saying mortgage the future but at least give us a 2nd line that we can play.

 

[sampollock]

Server is very close to dead

 

[The Great Weal]

Because Morgan Geekie is their other winger. wtf are you supposed to do with only 4 players on the ice.

And the other one is a top 5 player in the league. It's like saying who cares if player X has McDavid as his center, the other winger isn't good.

 

[austin316]

Another swing and a miss by KH on Jets getting Schenn

 

[dinodebino]

So, I see the mood here right now is similar to the one in a game thread. Half of the posters scream and complain about the Habs and the other half is making jokes and staying calm.

I wasn’t my expecting much because we aren’t even close to contend, but not expecting a purge either.

 

[Whitesnake]

Imagien going back to the Kulak trade and saying, "No I wouldn't trade Kulak, we need warm bodies and a late 2nd is insignificant." and after Hutson explodes "You don't know if we would have drafted Hutson anyways"

But at the time....where were we with Kulak in the standings?

Frankly, I still believe that it's nonsense to think that we should go playoffs minded with the team we have. We have no 2nd C. And we have the goaltending we have. But Hughes CLEARLY isn't thinking this way.

Don't get me wrong...I keep saying 2nd rounders are important. I would have done the deal to Winnipeg for what they go with Schenn. But CLEARLY this year, he prefers that this year will be a year of culture. Of fighting for playoffs.

Anyway, right now, it looks like it. Let's hope he helps Laval though.

 

[Be a Hab]

So the solution is to waste draft picks on Casey Mittelstadt who will know we fail?

I don't Casey Mittlestadt @ 5.750M for 3 years

 

[bleuetbio]

Jesus, if you still dont think that Savard cant bring a 2nd...

 

[Team_Spirit]

Can't wait to finish 10th in the east with our expiring contracts

Can't wait to finish 7th and eliminate the Leafs.

 

[salbutera]

It’s a putrid draft cuvée that’s why teams are having no issues trading away picks from this draft vs years past

 

[Habs13]

At 3pm Kent will say:

a) This isn't Playstation...

or

b) The answer is in the room!

Rinse and repeat.

Their 1st still disponible

 

[Whitesnake]

wow...Leafs get Laughton?

 

[habdynasty]

Don’t think the habs are going after 35 year old Defence man today.

 

[sampollock]

TSN is worried about the figs

 

[bleuetbio]

I don't Casey Mittlestadt @ 5.750M for 3 years

I predict Boston with Carlo included in the return

People need to get real. Armia, Dvorak and Chewbacca Savard isn't going to move the needle much. Once we extended Evans, our TDL was bound to be non-existent.

Nobody is expecting much but the fact that people think Dvorak Savard and Armia will destroy the chemistry of this team is hilarious.

2 4th liners and a 7th dman , but they are to important. But at the same time we can't sell and find a center better than Beck to fill the gap on the second line

Are they pushing for playoffs or not

No man's land deadline

 

[sbhatt]

I really don't see any point in making a deal today. We are flush with picks, and our biggest needs are not going to get solved today for a reasonable price ( a top pair D-man and a #2 center, both with term). It makes no sense to get a rental right now; we are on the bubble, but being realistic, this team is just not good enough to make a run yet. I'd rather keep our assets in-house so we have the capital needed to make a deal for a long-term need in the off-season, because next year with Demidov on the roster we should be all-in to make the playoffs and be good enough to maybe win a series.

 

[austin316]

Tanev for a 2nd.

What is KH doing? I’m all for keeping Savard if all we’d get back is a 4th. But at these prices you need to acquire 2nd rounders for more assets to weaponize us this offseason for trades
