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

[JeffreyLFC]

Lekky was a role player with the Avs, and still is........................Rantanen, Mackinnon and Makar brought the Cup back for the Avs..........
Lekky was a role player with us, who struggled to score in a soccer net for almost two years.....Barron is 6 years younger, and is a PMD who is still developing. He has value, and does not make much money. Lekky is making 4-5 M bucks, and is still a role player, but now a role player who makes too much money.
Good role player who benefitted from playing with some big guns..............

Lehkonen has had a way bigger impact in his career with the habs than Barron as of now and of course MacKinnon or Rantanen or Makar have a bigger impact then Lehky in them winning the cup. What is this? Really?... I might just stop refrain posting on this board... never said that Lehkonen was the god and savior of the Avs. Lehkonen was brought in to fill a specific role and that role was very important in them winning the cup to provide depth scoring (which he did). You might believe he is not worth his salary (which i will disagree based on his age/profile/production) that still does not mean that having a current AHLer who has regressed since last year and a late 2nd are more valuable. I don't buy that.

We know that EDM’s first was in play for Tanev.



Who else for?

If I had to guess I'd say it was Ceci.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

1000%

Kova is a bit piece. Kova might return a 2nd if Mad Mike was still a GM but there are no fools who would offer that. If they did, they should be canned.

2nd have value and can be used in package.

They used a late first and a 2nd and got Newhook. Now, I'm not sold on Newhook just yet but this idea 2nd round picks don't have value is non-sense.

Romo was a 2nd and they used it to get the 13th overall and eventually Dach.



Send him to the airport if offered a second. Totally replaceable. Its David Savard, not Serge, lol.

How many time, I will have to repeat it... 2nd round pick is not important for a cup contender that want to win NOW!!
We are not talking about draft day trades or a player drafted and developped 6 years from now.

We are talking about an actual player that can provide depth on a win now team! You might think it is a fireable offense to trade away a 2nd round pick I find that quite ludicrous to believe first that trading a lower end 2nd round pick is such a huge deal, second, that teams can have decent pick up that play more NHL games than the magic bean they traded away. The lightning are a prime example of that with all the trades they have done in the past.

I agree a 2nd is nothing for a team thats going for it but they wont' give it for Kova. He is a bit player at the very best, actually junk.


There isn't a GM in the league dumb enough to make that move. Not one, delusional to think otherwise.

Heck, Jake Evans might fetch you two firsts and a A+ prospect, lol.

 

[BLONG7]

Convenient. Going for the 20% and ignoring the 80%.
Especially for a team that would compete now!! They don't care if a Lehkonen or a Romanov slip from them 6 years from now. Not to mention there are a significant difference between a late 2nd to a early 2nd at least in term of value.

Anyway my point was not to say we should not trade our player for a 2nd but how people have that tendency to believe a 2nd in return is pipe dream or phenomenal value.

For instance we traded Lehkonen for Barron and a 2nd round pick. Both have not shown anything special yet for us while Lehkonen has brought a Stanley Cup to the Avalanche and very good hockey since the trade.

Re-read your own post...........................you said " Lehkonen has brought a Stanley Cup to the Avalanche"
So I responded.
No need to get your bunches, in a bunch.
Post or don't post..........up to you but please re read what you post before you actually do.

Cheers....

I just forgot the word helped. Which happen but obviously MacKinnon, Rantanen and Makar are their core players. It is still true that Lehkonen still had/have a significant role with them.

I could see Evans being traded. He’s great on the PK and doesn’t make too much money.

I could see him and Savard as a fit to several teams....

I bet Evans ends up in Tampa.

for some reason I think Savard will end up in TO. The badly need a RD and I think Sav will go for a lower price than Walker.

 

[Runner77]

How's he going to get that other 1st?

I don’t know how to hack Hughes’ phone.

 

[EveryDay]

I expect a deal with Colorado in the next 24-48 hours with the clearing cap space.

 

[eklund the clown]

Avs clearing space for something

New Jersey Devils acquire forward Kurtis MacDermid from Avs | TSN

The New Jersey Devils announced the acquisition of forward Kurtis MacDermid from the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.

Like between the Habs and avs, or just the avs in general?

Guessing with MTL for either Allen or Savard.

If its for Allen there will be a 3rd team involved to retain more....

 

[Scotianhab]

Evans and Kovacevic to Edm for a 2nd and prospect plus foegle as a cap dump. Edm can’t afford much salary but it would give them some depth and good pk players

 

[The Real Timo]

Ce quand le trade?

 

[Scotianhab]

I bet Evans ends up in Tampa.

If Savard went to TO he wouldn’t have to move his family. Doubt they’d trade a first for him. They have no 2nds. Not sure what they’d give up

 

[morhilane]

What are the Devils doing?????

This is the second weird move in two days.

 

[26Mats]

I don’t know how to hack Hughes’ phone.

Well how would you do it?

 

[McGees]

Super stoked that our 2nd rd pick (which is basically a late 1st) is gone from the Dvo trade. The gift that keeps on giving for this gem.

 

[vokiel]

Before March 8th if anything moves that isn't a wild turkey.

We short on centers now

It's weak draft. Be slim chance making it. Jets pick less than 50% chance

Packaging Jets pick with our 2nd would have been a nice chance to move up to the teens,

Not much. Once you get past 20th in this draft, it's a shot in dark.

 

[McGees]

Not much. Once you get past 20th in this draft, it's a shot in dark.

we should just donate all our picks after our 1st then it sounds like.
