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

We are talking, in 2024, about a draft of star defenders. Lots of defenders shooting from the left. We just saw one play with the United States, Zeev Buium, an interesting one. We can talk a lot about Sam Dickinson, who plays in London.

The Canadian risks drafting between, let's face it, 8 and 12, you risk finding a defender. You can find a defender like Kaiden Guhle in that range in this draft. You won't find a player like Trevor Zegras " - Marco D'Amico

This statement is so flawed its funny… If mtl does end up picking 8-12, the top 4-5 dmen of the draft wont be available… And smaller skilled players like Catton, Helenius, Demidov probably will (similar to Zegras)

 

[Guy Larose]

i wonder if baldy and fatso knew Cutter was available? I would have made an offer for that kid

How old are you, 12?

D’Amico is only looking for clicks here.

Guhle was named captain of Team Canada’s world junior team before covid cancelled the tournament. He is a leader, talented and future number one defenseman. Zegras is the American equivalent of Drouin. They are not the same and have no business being compared in value. We’d be giving up a dollar for a quarter.

 

[Mrb1p]

David Reinbacher is that good, I spent the past like 18 months hyping him up.

Michkov is still Michkov, and for a team like the Habs to pass on such a player... It's hard to justify.

Catton and Demidov shouldn't be in the conversation with Helenius, and shouldnt be available around this, anyway.

Michkov and Benson did fall 4+ spots to where they should've went though, so don't mind me.

How old are you, 12?

His join date is like 1999, thats factually impossible. This makes me wonder if you are in fact, 5 years old.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pretty sure that dude posted here and people and by people I mean me, but likely others would roast his ass for not being the smartest.

Also, a bunch of posters here who I'd trust 100 times more than that person said the exact same thing.

that's just pathetic if this is true and this offer was passed on by montreal.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

There's a fair chance he might not want to come to Montreal.

If he were, I'd still prefer the Askarov and Wood over Gauthier

 

[Habs]

How old are you, 12?

Why are you hoping I'm 12? Like a Dateline episode?

 

[Adam Michaels]

If anyone wonders if Zegras would be a good addition to Habs, he got hurt and won't return tonight. So he would fit in here.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Bad day for Zegras.

Everyone think he's on the trade block

He gets shit score cards from jfresh & andyrono and now this injury

 

[Habs]

There's a fair chance he might not want to come to Montreal.

Faire enough, and considering the amount of D this year as well... seems like we could have made other moves

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm good with passing on this deal. Not that I wouldn't want Gauthier. But I'm not letting Philly get my 5th OA pick without offering their 7th OA pick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah, not gonna lie I figured take a forward and then a d this year.

Habs have Reinbacher and now all we can do is go with it and hope the young man does well and back him as much as we can so he feels the least amount of pressure as possible. He didn't ask to be that sought after, or to be drafted here. Hate the GM and whatnot, but let's not hate the kid.

Not directed at you, just a general comment.

Watch teh most recent vid posted by @montreal, no reason to hate on David, he's a great player.

There's gonna be really, really good forward available for the Habs this year, a bit worse than Michkov and Benson, IMO, but great nonetheless.

Also great Ds.

wonder if that deal could have been made? Good point though, gotta deal from a position of strength when you can

From what a Flyers beat writer said, the info he got is that Flyers offered Gauthier to Habst for their 5th OA to select Reinbacher because they felt they would still be able to get Michkov at 7th, which indicates all PHI wanted the 5th AND keep the 7th.

For me, if they were willing to swap picks, I'd be all for it. Basically MTL receives Gauthier + 7th for 5th + another piece. But apparently that's not what Philly was willing to do.

 

[Tyson]

If this is true then the Habs must really be high on Reinbacher because Gauthier is the type of young forward prospect you would want. Then again maybe Gauthier made it clear that he didn't want to play in Canada...who knows

 

[Runner77]

Lagrange is himself blowing a lot of hot air since GMs have had their lot of mistakes.

What if Reinbacher wasn’t all that? Still a lot of racetrack to go before anyone can definitively say what’s what. A little early for posturing, I’d say.

 

[McGees]

Now I KNOW it won’t happen.

Is it? Do we need another prima donna after Drouin? A 19 years kid asking for a trade. Refusing to explain or speak to the GM.

I could understand if he has drafted by Arizona. But, we are talking about Philadelphia. Better to keep Reinbacher.

He could be the next PLD in the NHL.

The 7th and Gauthier (5th overall) is a little bit to much for Reinbacher.

I said 7th and Gauthier for 5th + another piece. Not for the 5th alone.

Bruised ego?

Agreed, the only way that trade works is if they swapped picks and Montreal added a solid young player to balance it all out

I totally agree I hope this is the guy that makes a fifth pick worth while

we may regret Michkov or Reinbacher may be a letdown and I'm fine with trading him if it improves the team, but a big mobile RD for a soft winger that takes dumb penalties, held out for his salary and doesn't play defence ? nope
