HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #86: 2023-2024 Season

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

There's no rush yet. Continue to let Struble, Harris and Barron get top 4 minutes and let their value rise, while not rushing guys like Hutson, Engstrom, Reinbacher and Mailloux.

Hughes is waiting for a big fish to be made available (Pettersson?). Until then we just continue to slowly accumilate assets and let those assets increase in value.

One of the contenders' d-corps will get hit with the same injury bug that plagues our forwards. Hopefully one like Winnipeg with an excess of forward prospects.

 

[HuGo boss]

We have the most goals scored by defencemen in the league and they’re almost all on their entry level contracts. Pretty sure Washington would be happy to take one.

Also, our goalies are top in the league in making saves above expected.

And we have a cheap nearly point per game big centre in Monahan.


There’s more than enough here to like and make a great deal for a top 6 forward like Leonard.

Nearly Point per game is a huge stretch 22 pts in 37 game that's like a .6 ppg

 

[DAChampion]

The thing is, he isn't one of their best prospects...He is like, their ONLY prospect lol (except maybe Cristall). They'd be pretty dumb to trade him tbh as they are an old decrepit team on the verge of a rebuild.

Washington might as well trade Leonard, as they're going to go scorched earth in a few years anyway.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Bjornfot got claimed by Vegas. I thought he would get claimed, but he dropped a lot.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I like the idea of dealing Monahan to Winnipeg, he’s ultra coachable/adaptable and gives them exactly what they’re looking for, with little to no cap hit to make more moves.

I don’t like Lambert as the target, I’ve never really been impressed with his game and I don’t see a lot of improvement over the years in his development.

I’d look to target Colby Barlow as the main piece in a return. I think he’d be a solid addition as a shoot first ask questions later winger. Good size, willing to battle and while he won’t drive the line, he will be an excellent complement to a creative center. And he’s a pure finisher which is what we need.

I’d offer:

To Winnipeg: Sean Monahan

To Montreal: Colby Barlow, Montreal’s previously acquired 2024 2nd round pick.

You are overvaluing Moneyhands sir.

Holy f***. You typed that all out and put 0 thought into it

A second round pick and a decent prospect for a second/third line center is fair value? Jets have a plethora of prospects and Barlow is probably their third or fourth best one.

It leaves the Jets all kinds of cap room to make more trades and they don’t give up a roster player.

And why be a Dick? What have you added of value other than snide comments?

You are overvaluing Moneyhands sir.

It’s possible, but a good prospect (not the best one in their system) and a second rounder is a pretty standard return for a very good second/third line center that’s solid in all areas and great on face offs.

 

[DAChampion]

Monahan can be an outstanding rental, teams should definitely be willing to give up late 1sts for him, and a bit more.

This is the crutch. Kent waits till later in year and risk Sean gets hurt. or trades in the next month or so and does not get enough. gamble

I am not so sure KH trades Monahan. A competent vet is something the Habs are in short supply of.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

It should be within a year or 2. Leonard will fit in with the rebuild.

 

[le_sean]

They should be selling players now and try to get younger and faster. They are a sad team to watch.

 

[therocket9]

Monahan could be a fit in Vegas a veteran forward for another cup run for a player with upside like Pavel Dorofeyev.

 

[neopreneur]

I am not so sure KH trades Monahan. A competent vet is something the Habs are in short supply of.

Indeed. If we trade Monahan, I suspect it'll be a last minute deal like what happened with Lehky.
I don't mind keeping him (assuming he'd sign with us at a good cap hit/term), so why not be super picky about the return?

Agreed. If the best offer for Monahan is a second round pick, then don't bother trading him.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Agreed. If the best offer for Monahan is a second round pick, then don't bother trading him.

A 1st + if it is a late 1st.

 

[LaP]

Agreed. If the best offer for Monahan is a second round pick, then don't bother trading him.

The best offer will not be a 2nd round pick. I'm not even sure why people are so insistent in discussing a moot point. The offer will be a 1st+. What the + will be will depend on how much GMs get desperate. KH wont even answer to phone if a first or a prospect of the same value is not offered.

Maybe Toronto's GM could offer two 6ths for Monahan and Allen

Monahan for Kuzmenko+

I’m rounding up. Gotta sell it man!

From a trade value perspective, IMO Barlow for Monahan straight up would be a win for Montreal on it's own. No way Winnipeg adds a 2nd.

I doubt they'd even offer Barlow.

To get a free 1st and Barlow just for taking Monahan off of Calgary's hands would be amazing though. I'd love to see it.

I liked Barlow in draft. He guy I wanted before Florida went on that crazy win streak in playoffs. But is he injured or something? Games played way down

 

[Miller Time]

With Dach & Dvorak out for the season, I think the only chance Monahan gets moved is if the return is outlandish and includes a middle 6 roster player the other team wants to offload that is either UFA or has 1 more year left at most...
