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

[Benstheman]

Big no for me on Laine.

Too much of a risk. Too may inuries for a guy earning 8,7M$ per.

The other thing is we would only have 2 years of control.

Maybe if he comes back healthy for the next two seasons and still produces, he may be a good target for us as he will be only 27-28 yo when he becomes UFA.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I, as well would suggest a pass on Laine.

Somewhat injured, seems to care randomly and not consistently.

If would merge Gallagher into Laine and it was just Laine with Gallagher's effort, then I'd be interested.

Or if the Habs can ship Gallagher off for him I'd be interested.

 

[SwiftyHab]

For Laine, it’s either a big No or a No-rlinder for me.

 

[Lshap]

Laine is still only 25 years old. Feels like he's been around forever.

For me, if a guy is still not motivated to play every night after 9 nhl seasons, he's unlikely to ever put it all together.

I was a fan of Laine and saw huge untapped potential for the first few years, but I agree we're past "Untapped" at this point. He is what his track record says he is.

 

[HuGort]

Depends on what qualifies as hitting it out of the park?

A 25-32OA potential pick IMO doesn’t qualify as “hitting it out of the park”

Monahan has better stats now than Lindholm. Who is suppose to be biggest name on market

Main board is having some serious issues with that.....................facts are facts.

 

[Benstheman]

Healthy, Monahan is almost as good as Lindholm. The latter is a bit more solid defensively but other than that, it's a wash.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Friedman - Monahan isn't likely to get a 1st unless the team acquiring him want to extend him, or there's a real rush for him.

Says Monahan is really well respected around the league for his determination.

Adds how high can you play Monahan on a contending team. Doesn't think he's a 2nd line centre on a contending name.

Vancouver is looking at Lindholm, or Henrique, guys who can move around the lineup. If you're looking for a 3rd line centre, he's your guy (Monahan).

Marek doesn't really think it, but did say if they do get one, they get one for taking him and one for letting him go.

 

[sampollock]

Kent should try for a A1 prospect instead of a #1 pick for Sean.... my hope, most likely not to happen

 

[Hannibal]

I think Monahan is gonna be traded but in a package with a dman for a prospect and a later pick.

 

[Benstheman]

how many retention spots left for this year?? 1??

 

[The Great Weal]

Lindholm is way better defensively and a much better skater. Offensively though you could say they are a wash.

Should be One. We’re covering for Edmunston and Petry

 

[DAChampion]

I read that Monahan isn't worth a first and that Allen isn't worth a second -- it may in fact be that contending GMs overvalue their draft picks and aren't trying to win.

In a package is very plausible, but I'd think we want more than prospects at this point. We have a lot of them already in the system. We get more RW for instance and that's goodbye Ylonen imho.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I read that Monahan isn't worth a first and that Allen isn't worth a second -- it may in fact be that contending GMs overvalue their draft picks and aren't trying to win.

To be very honest, as a GM of any team around the league, even as a team that desperately needs goaltending, I wouldn't trade a 2nd either!

Monahan I do think returns a 1st, especially if he keeps this up. His value is going up and Lindholm is the ones GM's will be careful with

 

[Kosseca]

I read that Monahan isn't worth a first and that Allen isn't worth a second -- it may in fact be that contending GMs overvalue their draft picks and aren't trying to win.

Monahan's return in a trade is very dependent on the supply and demand. He can land a 1st+ or just a 2nd....

Allen's value in not good so a 2nd is asking much here. There are a bunch a G available, he's sign for an extra yrs to a meh contract. I woulnd be surprise if we get a UFA C and a mid-pick un return.

 

[Hannibal]

In package is very plausible, but I'd think we want more than prospects at this point. We have a lot of them already in the system. We get more RW for instance and that's goodbye Ylonen imho.

Lets say Monahan + Harris for Mavrik Bourque. He’s a prospect that can play right away or close to it. That’s the kind of prospect i see them targeting.

Then I'd trade Owen Beck. The ice time is limited everywhere. Heineman also could be dropped if we're just signing forwards blindly.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Washington needs a centre. They’re still going for it. I’d start a package for Leonard with Monahan, maybe Calgary’s 1st and one of our LD.

Leonard is likely untouchable.

 

[McGees]

If Norman Flynn was our GM, instead of Nick, Cole and Slaf...
our top line would be Simmonds, Palmieri and PLD.

Yup - add to Monahan to get that prospect. I’d target NJD. Would prefer Holz vs a late 1st

With McLeod & Foote potentially gonzo, they’ll need reinforcement at 3C + D, let alone their existing issue in G

 

[overlords]

Just like Gretzky's record unless they get Ovi some help. Tick tock.
