HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #79

[Runner77]

Zito has just sent a message that should resonate league-wide — get to him first with another offer if you’re a rebuilding team.

 

[jaffy27]

No matter what his current contract situation is, for all intents and purposes, Montreal acquiring Dubois is a sign and trade. Brisson will be involved in any deal.

You are absolutely correct

 

[Spring in Fialta]

So you guys would trade Suzuki for a mid 1st-rounder, yeah? Let's see how consistent you guys are. Can't wait to see the twists and turns.

Yeah totally. Habs should revisit the well...

 

[jaffy27]

anyone who thinks Florida's pick should be in play for Dubios is 1000% wrong. The Habs just finished as the worst team in the league and unless Price is 100% healthy and does in fact have a few years left in the tank as a top 10 goalie, then the only thing the Habs should be doing is focusing on rebuilding. If they can't trade some form of Edmundson, Anderson, Dvorak, Dach for PLD then they should move on, don't give up future assets unless the deal is too good to pass up.

Yup…..we are almost assured of finishing last in out conference again and there’s no way 5 teams are worst then us in the west….essentially we are more then likely in the top 5 which will Net us a a cost controlling star for the next 5yrs!!

It's up to Hughes to make him see that. I think he might be able to do it with Slafkovsky on board and another really good draft pick in 2023 that can have an impact in a couple of years. Somehow land Dubois and a quality RHD like Weegar as well as UFAs (not necessarily Weegar) and our lineup just looks 5 times better, IMHO.

Top-6 up front:

Huberdeau - Dubois - Caufield (two scoring options for Huberdeau as premiere playmaker)
Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Roy (Roy as replacement trigger for Suzuki and Slaf as play driver)
Heineman - Fantilli - Dach
Farrell - Beck - Ylonen/Mesar

Talent on backend:

Guhle - Weegar (or equivalent) (Shutdown 1st pairing with offensive upside)
Matheson - Barron (Veteran presence in Matheson to mentor Barron)
Harris - Mailloux (Kid pairing form third pairing with size and offensive upside)
Xhekaj (Mean, hard-hitting option to sub in throughout the D-Corps)

Looking at that lineup the long term success of the Habs really relies on players like Guhle, Barron, and Harris really taking major steps forward and at least two of them hitting their ceilings. As well as finding an above average starting goalie. Right now I’m skeptical that defence would be good enough for the Habs to contend.

Nobody's talking about giving up our 2023 1st for Dubois. We're talking about Florida's pick.

 

[Wats]

Flames should get a fortune for Huberdeau and Weegar with 50% retained.

 

[jaffy27]

Not sure Huberdeau would want to sign when half the lineup is composed of rookies.

You mean Slaf 1st overall pick and a top 5 next year??

Ya, how disheartening of a notion that would be lol

Think he’ll be quite ok

The Habs may not have a #1 dman in their system. But right now they are far from worrying about that. Develop the guys who are there and when their window hits in 2-3 years then they can make those tough trades.

I think they can go for it honestly. A Sutter team with that defence in front of Markstrom could surprise. They still have lots of cap space.

I don’t see their window to contend is in 2-3 years. If everything goes right it’s 4-5 years away.

And #1 defenceman are very tough to trade for. Their defence needs a lot of work right now, it should be one of their biggest concerns when looking at long term success.

I just mean I wouldn't get a veteran #1 dman now. They would waste their best years.

Name a player (any Habs player).

Follow that up with: “Can’t wait to see how he does in a full season under MSL.”

Ideal for slow news days.

Trade alert-

wfp jeff hamilton reporting possible jets habs deal for obviously dubois that might be hinging on a reportedly price retirement.

For those interested in Hamilton's reporting. He is usually accurate and has been the go to guy for reporting Bowness connection with jets a full month before it happened and same with their draft pick and assistant coaching hire

So pay attention to him in the coming days.

Link?

Please stop posing this bullshit, Hamilton never said anything about a trade being close. You are making things up at this point.

For anybody interested in what Hamilton actually said, he posted some wild speculation on twitter about trading Hellebuyck but never at any point indicated that it was being discussed by the Jets.

Yeah, the ones joining the roster further to future trades. Guaranteed that’s part of the package!

Ignore that guy, he created an account today and is posting made up shit based on some pure speculating that Hamilton was doing on twitter yesterday.

Just the fact he thinks the Habs would even consider giving up Suzuki for PLD is enough to prove it’s bullshit.

His names involve Suzuki and Guhle (PLUS!!!! LOL) and sorry, I refuse to believe Hughes and Gorton are that dumb - therefore I don't buy the info.

Haha thanks for the 411 - funny thing is the poster thought that incredibly far fetched tweet was actually super convincing!

Hamilton is way out in left field still speculating about Suzuki/ Ghule “plus”. What a Jets homer. Saying this on July 22nd when it has been clear for a long time that Suzuki is a non-starter. I suspect that Ghule is too.

Just how desperate are twitter-mongerers for content? What a pile of BS.

It wasnt even info, he was speculating on what it would take to actually get one of those pieces in the trade, and his suggestion was to include Hellebuyck which im sure neither team would be interested in because it doesn't fit where either teams needs at this time.
