HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #85 - Offseason Editon

[Mrb1p]

Columbus are still retooling, trading for an UFA wouldn't make sense for them. I would guess they're looking for a early-mid 20's forward locked up for a while. Granted they did go all in on free agents this summer and are trying to compete. I don't see how their D factor into our situation though, since we already lack spots. Boqvist is kind of what we're trying to get out of Norlinder and Barron so he would be a good buy low candidate. But if we trade for Boqvist we have to have something for a Barron trade lined up.

Theyre using Laine at center. Enough said.

Evans for Boqvist.

MTL could really use the Garland situation to their advantage I think. Lets say VANs goal is to save cash and maybe acquire a young D, how about Barron for Garland, a 2024 first and a second. Then flip Garland, whos still a solid player who could fit in a contenders top 9, to WAS for Mantha (pure capdump) and a 2024 first. Then MTL would have transformed Barron and taking on one year of Mantha into two first and a second.

I prefer sending Gallagher in that trade.

Gallagher + Barron + pick for Garland.

That sounds great, but Vancouver could deal Garland to Washington for a 2024 first themselves. They might need help from us to take Mantha, and to move Barron to them, but I think we will get just Washington's first for that, not both team's firsts.

not sure they would be interested in a broken Monahan but maybe Owen Beck ?

CBJ isnt rebuilding. Their assets are primed now. Laine, Gaudreau, Werenski, Fantilli, Sillinger, Jenner, Texier, Marchenko, Roslovic, Provorov, Severson Nd Merzlinkis are all primed.

 

[Mrb1p]

Evans for Boqvist.

Oh yeah maybe we could do Slaf for Peeke too?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Boqvist would be great but there's no point really.. Mailloux and Hutson are coming.

Get him, feed him top pp minutes and hope he's healthy and the Habs pp is a bit better. See if he gets 40, or 50 points and deal him for increased assets ?

I can't imagine he would cost that much. Possibly Colorado's 2nd and Lindstrom as a contract going back for the Habs?

To be fair we said the same about a bunch of guys and Beaulieu/Tinordi. If they can't beat Boqvist for a spot they're probably not NHLers cause he's really a bottom pairing + PP guy.

 

[HuGort]

Id do something around Boqvist and Monahan

What for? We have 4,000 defensemen now.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I don't see a need for Boqvist. Barron and Mailloux are younger, fit the timeline better, and are developing fine. Unless you move one of them, it won't make sense. And judging from playstyles, Mailloux probably moves out since him and Boqvist are similar type players

I mean it depends on the price really. Taking a chance on young RHD with potential that are under 25 is worth it unless you’re getting bent over to acquire them. Just look at how we acquired Petry in 2015. He was a little older but same idea.

 

[Rob Sense]

Habs need scoring forwards

someone like Garland?

 

[BaseballCoach]

Oh yeah maybe we could do Slaf for Peeke too?

I would not, Peeke was -41 last year with only 13 points.

Are you saying Boqvist is too much for Evans or too little? I know his hit is 50% higher.

They were using sarcasm

Or course, but in which direction?

Fantilli is primed?!?! Sillinger and Marchenko are still very young too and not in their prime. I really doubt Columbus is interested in rentals.

 

[BoneHutson]

Well, the other first basically is for Barron

Well, the other first basically is for Barron

So its basically Barron for a first, Garland and a second for nothing (because high cap hit). Then Mantha and a first for Garland (the difference in quality between both players)

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I prefer sending Gallagher in that trade.

Gallagher + Barron + pick for Garland.

I prefer sending Gallagher for almost anybody.

No one is taking him for Barron and what is likely a mid round pick from you.

 

[Mrb1p]

I would not, Peeke was -41 last year with only 13 points.

Pretty obvious if you watched both players.

Is MSL supposed to shelter half the roster to have them flipped at the deadline while sheltering the other half of the roster for development?

 

[BLONG7]

If Hughes can get a team to take Gally off our hands, and that horrid contract, they would build a statue out front of Hughes right beside Lafleur...

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Fantilli is primed?!?! Sillinger and Marchenko are still very young too and not in their prime. I really doubt Columbus is interested in rentals.

Yes Fantilli is ready to go just as Bedard is.

 

[Miller Time]

When Dvorak gets back, if he plays well in his first ~15-20 games I'd push hard for a deal with the Hawks.

They need to give Bedard some help to ease the misery of the next 2-3 seasons. Dvo is a solid middle 6 option that could alleviate a bit of the weight without pushing them out of bottom feeder territory... plus he's a local product.

They've got 13 1st & 2nd round picks the next 3 seasons and ample cap space.

Something like a '24 2nd & conditional '25 pick (2nd if Dvo plays 60+ games in '24-'25, 3rd if he doesn't).
