HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #84: Off-Season edition

[Vachon23]

What's cheap to the Habs to you?

Offer like 1st pick + Kidney\Ylonen

 

[Benstheman]

If they get the package they want for him this summer they will do it but the point was more that they don’t need to sell him cheap to the Habs

I agree. And i don't think HuGo would try to fleece them. Both GM's know each other situations and i doubt the gap is big between what both GMs think the value of a summer trade is.

The new Canadian law that was passed that prevents foreigners from buying property will have an impact on non Canadian players willing to sign in Canada. If a player can't buy a home for his family why would he sign in Canada? This has to be addressed.

With the way Florida's pick is trending in terms of value, i agree. But if it was a pick in the early teens, i think it would not be cheap.

I think now, they will need to attach a pretty good prospect to this pick.

Winnipeg have no reason to trade PLD at friendly price to the Habs this summer.

They can keep him to try on last time with PLD/Helleybuck/Schiefele and trade them at a high price at the TDL if they are not competitive

Except for the fact that PLD isn’t under contract next year. And if Jets don’t trade him this summer, he can choose to sit out and Jets get no PLD or TDL assets, and lose him to Mtl for nothing.

Probably the least likely scenario but it’s possible and best case for Habs.

No issue at all.

Many ways to overcome that. The team can buy the house and put it in the contract.

These kinda of law never impact the richests. Never.

If PLD sits the year out then he doesn't get his 7th year of NHL which is what is allowing him to be a UFA.

 

[Sorinth]

No doubt the Habs and Jets are talking and there are pieces on the table the Jets will evaluate. For all we know, the Panthers 1st is not in play and maybe it's a Beck and Mailloux trade.

To be honest, I'm not real excited at trading Mailloux due to our RD Depth.

Presumably they would prefer a prospect who they think is NHL ready then a draft pick, especially a late one. If the cost is something like Dvorak + Mailloux then I'd do that no questions.

You're misinterpreting that law. It would have zero impact on UFA signings.

Most people are. Also, people act as if renting houses doesn't happen here, yet it's probably the best option for pro sport players on short contract, especially if they go back "home" during the off-season.

 

[Sterling Archer]

True but stills blows up in Jets faces too. It's MAD but still a possibility if things get very contentious. Would also scare even more teams off if he holds out, even if not for the whole season.

That’s a player that HuGo will look closely, no doubt about that

Agreed. He said as much in the past about getting a no. 1 tender.

If the Habs swing Allen away (somehow) and acquire Hart for cheap it would be a big coup. He's unquestionably the better goaltender between himself, Monty, and Allen. And a potential long term solution.

I doubt Philly would cut him loose for nothing though, so better not think about this too much.

 

[SlafySZN]

Dubois will be paid more UFA years so yes, he will get a bit more than Suzuki. $8.5M is in line with what Horvat, Hintz, and Larkin got. Fight that logic all you want.

Adding Dubois is about helping Suzuki so we have two good centers. If Dach has to be a puck possession winger, so be it. This increases our forward depth and talent.

Dach is not a winger.

 

[Vachon23]

Agreed. He said as much in the past about getting a no. 1 tender.

And he does fit the age group and would be an established #1 when we will be ready to compete

 

[SlafySZN]

i know exactly who Farrell his NYR isnt making that trade

And in a couple of months you wouldn’t either.

 

[Tyson]

You're misinterpreting that law. It would have zero impact on UFA signings.

I saw an article about Mattias Ekholm I think on Sportsnet that said what I posted. I can only go by what the writer in Canada posted. I don't pretend to know this law.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Dach is not a winger.

Neither is Drai or RNH and they play wing a lot.

When did Dach start to look good for us? When he was on wing with Suzuki and Caufield. Dach did look good later on when we had to move him to center due to injuries.

Dach can play center or be a puck possession winger. This is a good option and good luck trying to move me off this stance.

 

[SlafySZN]

Farrell could exceed Lafreniere but it seems unlikely.

Unlikely that he exceed 32 points in a season?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Presumably they would prefer a prospect who they think is NHL ready then a draft pick, especially a late one. If the cost is something like Dvorak + Mailloux then I'd do that no questions.

That's interesting cause I just got back from lunch and I was wondering... what if our offer is Dvorak and Mailloux with a small add.. maybe Kapanen (center prospect.. B type).

It's very possible that we acquire without the Panthers 1st.

That won't affect them.

It's to stop these foreigners from buying all the property and then selling it with a price increase to make money.

A new build that costs 700k, after being bought by someone else just to sell it will sell it for 8, 850k.

I don't agree cause those are in line with what Trouba and Horvat returned. Do you really think that Dubois is worth more than Horvat? Especially considering the circumstances surrounding Dubois and him wanting to play for the Habs?

Maybe that's a little on the lower side of thing yes but other GM's know what's up and no way they are trading futures for Dubois without an extension in place. Jets are in a tough spot

Good to hear because it is already difficult to attract top line players to Canada.
Canadian teams carry the league and the league treats them like crap.
Quebec would easily support a team!
