HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #80

[Runner77]

That would leave a spot open on the left side for one of Guhle or XZhekaj, unless we insist on playing Schueneman there.

Schueneman seemed to be appreciated by MSL and has a bit of an edge at the pro level (68 regular season games in Laval since 2020 and 24 in the NHL) but his offence is lacking.

Maybe one of the young guys will overtake him and relegate him to a 7th D role, if say a Ghule shows he can handle a regular job as of this season. Can’t wait to find out.

So which next young guy does Kent target

We need to tap into Marco d’Amico’s “well-connected executive” who feeds him all the behind the scenes stuff.

It can’t be just one guy that Hughes is targeting — he must have multiple lines in the water, trying to get someone to bite.

On another subject, your good buddy, Mr. Peabody, is on the last year of his contract and may not survive. You might just need new material.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Harris will be better than Lundkvist, even playing on his off side (RD).

It's FAR too much.

 

[John B]

at that price I’m glad it’s not us…

Agreed 100%. Nill is really banking on this kid being pretty good to give up that kind of return.

Mr Peabody will die with the 4 contract hogs. But nostrils says they learned a lot from losing in the 1st round again. lol

i wanted Nils but thats alot to pay

i would of paided panthers first for Nil.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

i would of paided panthers first for Nil.

only time will tell but personally i woudlnt Panthers first could very well be a lottery pick with a Barkov or Ekblad injury specially in a tough division like the Atlantic and Lundkvist didnt prove nothing in NA i rather have the 2023 1st round pick in a deep draft

They sure did. They learned they're freaking losers.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I wanted Lundqvist pretty bad but I have to agree that now isn't really the time for us to be trading 1st round picks. If it's what it absolutely took than it just wasn't meant to be for us.

 

[Benstheman]

our def is bad but theres no way Wideman plays on the first pair it should be Savard

Yeah I don’t think any of the pairs should play more than others. That, being said, that’s what I would like to see, which is a good stable veteran with both of the rookies. I don’t think Wideman is a good partner for a young inexperienced Dman.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I'd rather give Norlinder an extended opportunity than paying a significant asset for someone like Lundkvist, especially considering they are the same age.

It is basically a make or break year for Norlinder here given the talent we have coming up on D, I am excited to see him get a chance with an offensive minded coach in MSL compared to guys like Ducharme/Houle.

 

[FF de Mars]

Have we considered Seth Jones in this thread? Is he finished or still redeemable? Maybe Hugo could trade a couple of expiring contracts in a deal for Jones since you can only eat 50% of the contract of a maximum of 3?

Chicago won't keep that much money for that long and Jones have NMC, not sure he will waive it for MTL

Schueneman needs to clear waivers, whereas Leskinen does not (nor do Harris, Guhle, Barron, Fairbrother, Norlinder and Xhekaj).

Not that I mind exposing a non-performing vet to waivers, but if they don't want to do that, and Slaf is good enough for the team, then they can put Byron on IR and carry 15 F, 6D including Schueneman (and only one rookie at a time) and 2G.

Was it just a bad year on a bad team? If you take his whole salary, maybe you get him for free; or even better, for a dump. I used to dream of MarcBin signing him when he turned ufa. Defense is the team's biggest need and Jones on top of his game would change a lot of things. Is he done or what? I haven't watched Chicago, maybe he's the new Karlsson and I just had a terrible idea; but it seems to make sense, logically, that he'll find his game back. Heck, give them Price to raise their floor and a couple of bean contracts to sell at the deadline?

Personally, I love Seth Jones so you don't need to convince me. If we can have him for almost free next summer I would consider it but the main problem is like I said in the other post, not sure Seth Jones want to play in Canada (he didn't want to when CBS trade him to Chicago)

Maybe things changed because he's now struggling and is getting more desperate to find a match, hitting the wall? Maybe the appeal of an emerging team in MSL convinces him. Maybe Montréal isn't exactly like the rest of the Canadian cities? Or is it because of higher taxes he doesn't want to play in Canada? Many things changed since last year.

Maybe..

One thing for sure, for a guy that have a bad season, he would have been our 2nd best point producer behind Suzuki last year.

Does it mean he still has more value than I think on the market?

Hard to say honestly with the tight cap, never thought Pacioretty would go for Futur Consideration. Jones have a really big contrat but at the same time, it's the price for a 1st pair Dmen.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Does it mean he still has more value than I think on the market?

The question is why would Chicago want to move him? They already have cap spce and 20 millions coming of the books next season.

I pass on Jones anyways. He's not the same player without the dynamic Werenski. We need a Werenski type more than a Jones.

Him and a couple of Colombus players were known to be QAnon supporters on social media, pretty sure he’s not coming here + HuGo won’t want to this distraction.

What if Poilievre wins the election? Is a political alignment really a distraction? Do players really talk about politics in the locker room? Who cares? Back in the days you had the blues and the reds; now, we should only have the reds, isn't it tyrannical? I don't think it's a good reason to disqualify Jones.

People said Weber was only good because of Josi too...
