HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #85 - Offseason Editon

[tazsub3]

I don't understand how people don't learn lol.

Chiarot was never worth a first. But GMs are dumb so value goes out the window.

Especially big heavy D with playoff experience. Those will make most GMs salivate lol

Some are just useless , some just don’t care of tomorrow

The team has over 8,7 millions of capspace right now with Price on the in season LTIR.

Unlike "normal" free cap space, the amount of space won't increase going into the trade deadline since it is related to LTIR, so it makes no sense not using it early/right now to take bad 1 year contracts from other teams.

Mantha + 2nd + 3rd for future considerations? More?

Does that include Dach on LTIR?

No, on Capfriendly it looks the only Habs players on LTIR are Price and Dvorak.

Savard/Dach/Guhle are on IR for now.

Not sure if it is worth it to put them on LTIR, they still have 8,7 millions of capspace.

They have to be out for 14 days to go on LTIR but it's retroactive from the date of the injury

I like Xhekaj but it may make sense to trade from positional strength, a D for C. Mercer is barely 22 and averages over 20 goals per season already? If he is available due to a 6 game scoring slump, jump on it.

I doubt they are looking to move him unless it is an overpay, and I doubt they care too much about his 6 game slump.

He is a great center, with 30 goal 40 assist potential, he could end up better than Dach or Suzuki. He is just stuck on the 3rd line for the forseable future with Hughes and Hischier at center long term.

The Devils also need good young LD, and to add physicality. Xhekaj or Guhle could be nice for them, but would likely require another big + from us

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Kent wont move for a deal that would involve a Mercer this year.

he is building space for next years UFA season
my guess

I don't think UFAs will sign here. It's just best to focus on loading up on picks and developping within.

I play NHL 23 and one thing I always do is acquire Colton Dach and Ryan Suzuki.
So much fun having multiple brother lines.
Makes me wonder if we could ever pry Ryan Suzuki away from Carolina. Carolina GM didn't like Bergevin maybe Hughes can make it work? Norlinder and a 2nd for Suzuki? (One can dream)

We should trade once he past waivers next season, but Norlinder and a 2nd seem extremely expensive… Is he really still a legit top 6 NHL prospect?

No.

f*** Morgan Frost.

Go get Kent Johnson. CBJ isn't even playing him.

Go get Kent Johnson. CBJ isn't even playing him.

The only problem that i see, CBJ doesn’t need help on the backend and that’s the main thing we have to offer… Unless they’re ready to let Johnson go for draft picks(maybe calgary first??)

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

f*** Morgan Frost.

Frost is good. He was close to 50 pts last season. And Torts is a moron. No way to know if Johnson is good or if the reason for not dressing him is legitimate.
And the Flyers are run by incompetents and old fools. Good chance they could get Frost.

 

[Andy]

Frost
Johnson
Pinto (though the gambling stuff makes me hesitate)

There are some options out there.

You can forget about Pinto. The sens are likely very happy and can now sign him without exceeding the cap.

Why though? I don't see why he would cost that much. He's also currently injured and plays for a deep NHL team that doesn't have an AHL affiliate. Plus its hard to imagine him every being good enough to play on a line with Nick.

Maybe something like Norlinder + a 6th or 7th, but you can get a much better piece for a 2nd.

 

[rahad]

Would be fun to sign Kane to help the young guys and then trade him with retention to a contender at the deadline

Sadly, He won't sign with us. He already made his money and probably want to win the Stanley cup one last time. If we end up signing him. It would be to trade back at 50% immediately to a elite team.

Why is that? The suspension is retroactive to the start of the year and does not have any bearing on his contract status.

Suzuki missed a lot of time. I believe he has something wrong with an eye. No interest at all unless he is free.

I wont comment on his health without more information, but I just don't see how his value could have possibly increased since being drafted.

If he wants to win a Cup and one of the obvious contenders doesn't make an offer he could sign with the Habs (with a clause that he can veto any trade). He then shows that he is healthy and gets a chance to see who the Cup contenders are, and gives a list of acceptable destinations to HuGo.

Yeah I agree it was meant to just start a conversation based on pure NHL23 conjecture . Would be nice to see if Ryan could level up to his potential ceiling playing on the same team as his brother afterall he's only 22.

Guhle never went on IR. Wideman however is on IR.

IR, no IR, Guhle was injured.With all the talk about a possible wrist injury, Guhle practiced with a tinted visor, so it was likely a concussion rather than a wrist injury.

 

[The Great Weal]

Here’s hoping the Oilers keep sucking so Draisaitl doesn’t resign. Imagine him with Suzuki and CC.

 

[Ligue]

Here’s hoping the Oilers keep sucking so Draisaitl doesn’t resign. Imagine him with Suzuki and CC.

He has 2 years on his deal (including this one). Long time before then. I doubt the outlook of the habs roster in 2 years will be what drives him here. He'll go to the highest bidder if not the Oilers.
