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

[salbutera]

Now I KNOW it won’t happen.

Why?

Like it or not they were the first ones to call LAK on PLD sweeps despite all the talking heads claiming Mtl was the final destination

They have ties with LA but the other 99% of Timor’s are usually wrong in my years following em. They aren’t as tied as LeBrun/Friedman/Weekes etc

 

[The Great Weal]

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.

Not to mention that there were plenty of rumors that Philly was all set on moving up to get Michkov. Trading Gauthier for the 5th and drafting Reinbacher doesn't mean they had him ahead, everyone knew Arizona wanted Reinbacher and Michkov wouldn't play there so it could just be a plan to get two guys they really want.

I think Zegras is a player that would do well here and bring some much needed offence to the Habs that desperately need it. Good friends with Caufield too. I can see it happening and hope it happens. Feels more likely after the Gauthier trade.

Id like to see the Habs start building a mini USNDP team as our core group.. start trading to bring the players together..

It's not even a rumor.
He's just admittedly speculating here.

 

[HuGort]

Marco is prepping you guys for the Zegras trade on Kent's orders

Marco have that kind of power?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Zegras was drafted in 2019 so Hughes will want to add him to the collection.

Dach
Caufiled
Newhook
And coming soon, Zegras.

Get them all while supplies last!

 

[HomaridII]

I doubt Anaheim moves Zegras until the offseason. So in my opinion it’s all worthless speculation until then.

I doubt they move Zegras. He's elite skill. Always a gamble to move those kind. I think he just needs to grow up a little. But hey, we were all young once.

Anaheim should add character veterans to aid their 20 year olds development .Monahan this summer as UFA be example. McTavish and Carlsson also young centers.

Ducks are deep down the middle, can always move one to wing.

 

[rik schau]

Like the rest of us, they’re trying to figure out what Letowski is actually doing.

And people think that court-jesters are a thing of the past. lol

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'll save you all the trouble.

The Habs won't trade for Zegras. They won't even be interested.

They want to build a team that can go on deep playoff runs.. not a team that can put some perimeter flash plays on Tik Tok then disappear.

They have Killorn, Gudas ... Pat Verbeek is cooking something.

Not sure about that, I think if available KH inquires but not before this summer. Nothing is happening now IMO

 

[eklund the clown]

I have a funny feeling Hughes is up to something.If not with the Ducks then it has to be the Sens.

Well,funny is your schtick right. lol

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Another target for a "Dach" trade would be Podkholzin from Vancouver. He is 22, 6"1 PWF and hasn't blossomed quite yet. Been playing in the AHL for them this year.

Canucks are going for it this year, they need secondary scoring bad.

Obviously something around Monahan for Podkolzhin. Idk what we would have to add

 

[BenchBrawl]

Trading Dach would be brain damaged.

You don't trade a guy with his profile. Chicago will regret this trade.

I want Mathieu Joseph. In fact, I wanted him at the start of the season when there were rumors they were going to move him in order to create cap space for Pinto. Obviously we know Pinto was suspended. But he is slated to return soon and he still needs to be signed and Sens still need to make room for him on the cap.

Although I think if they do move Joseph, it'll more than likely be to a contender or someone who will make a push for the playoffs. And the price to acquire him is probably higher now than it was at the start of the year because he has been having a good season so far.

Despite all that, Joseph is someone I would like to be on the Habs. He's a fast skater, plays with some jam, can produce, he's not small (6'1" and 190 lbs).

He's also under contract for another two years after this year at a really good cap hit ($2.95M) and will turn 27 next month, so he's not some old vet. He's in his prime years right now. He'll be 29 when his current deal is up.

Joseph really isn't what the team needs at all unless you think he's going to be a late bloomer. The team needs top 6 offensive talent.

 

[NekkiChiconey]

I would entertain the idea of trading for Zegras, but I don't think Kent will. I do think management really likes Newhook as a potential 2LW. One could argue that Newhook may not be that far off from Zegras actually (jury's still out on that).

 

[morhilane]

Going by the recent L'Antichambre interview, Hughes isn't going to trade that much in his division. He's not interested in helping divisional rivals.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Some of the best trades are the ones you don’t make. Maybe we should give Hughes a little more credit that he knows what he’s doing with PLD, Gauthier, and maybe even Zegras.

What kind of trade you have in mind?

From his lack of activity it looks like he's not interested in dong anything. lol

If i was a betting man i would think we would be after Pinto.Exactly the kind of player we need.The Sens need goaltending and defense badly and we have both.Just a hunch on my part.
