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

[SwiftyHab]

Buy low opportunity??

Pretty sure Edmonton gets the list of new entrants to the players assistance before anyone else.

12 steps to AA (NHL addition)
1. Accept that your life has gotten out of control and that a trade to the Edmonton Oilers is the only road to recovery
steps 2-11
12. Playoffs!
13. Recovery (optional)

I wouldn't let Monahan play after the Washington game on Feb.17 if he hasn't already been dealt.

Should they make sure he don’t even go on vacation ? Maybe worry of the ice on the streets ? Heck maybe lock him in a cage till the deadline

 

[SwiftyHab]

Hope not booze or dope

What other options were you hoping for?

 

[Habby4Life]

Dylan Holloway...type of project Hughes will be interested in.

Would not be surprised if he makes a push for Zegras

Last year was the worst deadline of all time...
even going back to pre-historic era where dinosaurs were traded for other dinosaurs...We couldn't even trade an Edmundsonsaurus for a bag of leaves.

I’ve had to resort to hallucinogenic substances myself, as I tried to figure out which dinosaur was traded for what other one in pre-historic times, based on your earlier post.

Did it work?

It did. I was able to trace a Trade that involved the dinosaur with the smallest brain (Stegosaurus Therrienus) for a Scratch-o-Saurus Rex.

While there was no trace of the Stegosaurus Therrienus after the trade (rumors are that he roasted his skin like a lobster), the Scratch-o-Saurus enjoyed a lucrative career as a circus act.

Instant classic right here! Hahah We need to double and triple down in this prehistoric dinosaur premise until Hutson grows tall enough to play hockey on the big boy rink

If Rangers were interested beige, I image they will be VERY interested in Mony, now.

I suspect what’s holding a Monahan trade is that Hughes probably wants to make a second trade right after to bring in an nhl ready player.

The Habs don’t really need more picks. They need forward talent that is close to being/is nhl ready

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Is there a trade freeze soon?

No, the only freezes are the Christmas one then post-TD, which isn't really a freeze either. You can still trade, but players traded post-TD can't play in playoffs for their news teams.

Wow, Jiricek has spoken out, sounds like he wants out of Columbus. Now that is a guy I would love to see us target.

 

[HomaridII]

Monahan for gabe perreault

Add whatever you want but make it happen

 

[vokiel]

Definitely but it's not Barron or Harris who are going to move that needle.

Edit: Maybe they want Mailloux?

I don't know about that. Why would a team be tripping over themselves and give up a 1st to get Monahan who will likely be a 3C for them this early on? Hughes has also refused to claim some waiver guys, it would be dumb to waste an asset when we have fewer games remaining.

I mean it would have to be something along the lines of Slaf/our 1st this year/Reinbacher. I do like Jiricek more than Reinbacher so I'd do that swap but realistically he isn't going to go anywhere.

Today's kids are quick to demand trades when it's noy going their way.

 

[BergevinBurner]

I was thinking about something around Reinbacher for Laine(depending on the nature of his player's assistance leave), but I didn't see a fit with Columbus already having Jiricek. If it's true that things are souring between Jiri and the Blue Jackets and they move him(unlikely), then I'd be calling up Jarmo to see if there's any interest around a Reinbacher/Laine deal.

Omg where do some of you come from.

 

[Whitesnake]

Rangers.....okay, while I'D love Perreault...lol, I guess we can think that a trade for Monahan could be Sykora and a 2nd?

I guess...or Columbus could be a raging tire fire.

 

[calder candidate]

It's going to be deadline week. Hughes won't budge on his asking price and there isn't a team who would be desperate this early on.

I wouldn’t be surprise if it is done earlier Monahan even at KH asking will still be one of the cheapest available other GM will also have very high asking price. If your a GM of a contender setting the price high is very good since between the cap and high price less chance that other are making move to improve…

Where’s Torts to tell Larry to F-Off, when you need him? lol

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

So they are going to toss the white flag and give up on the season?? And no one is expecting a 1st and a great prospect. A low first (assuming NY adds a player or 2) plus a B prospect is not much to give up.
Of course Drury may be an idiot.
