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

[Rapala]

The deadline used to be decent on TSN. I remember back when i joined this board some people here would call sick at work just to watch the deadline and chill on HF....well when it was up because back then the servers had a really hard time on deadline day . There was some good action usually

But it has been going downhill for years now. In fact the biggest deals often happen a couple of days before the deadlinei n this era. Not sure which year it was but it was a few years ago both TSN and RDS had their deadline day special start at 6ham and nothing happened until 11ham. Bobby Mac , Dreger etc were bored to death lol.

The trade deadline used to be good TV. But now it's just incredibly bland

I think I stopped watching a couple of years after we got Vanek. I distinctly remember spending more time on here discussing our Ott type acquisitions.

I wonder if there will be any healthy scratches (trade related reasons) tomorrow.

 

[Colezuki]

We are trading Savard not Raymond Bourque.

Obviously Bourgeault is a no no he's struggling in the AHL. Lavoie is not a prospect anymore.

But you aint getting a grade A prospect for Savard.

Holloway?

 

[sampollock]

They just traded away their 1st so it's unlikely.

They can keep Raphael Lavoie and Xavier Bourgault , tyvm

a really good prospect is just as good

Then he won't be traded.

 

[TennisMenace]

I just want to unload this though and then go away…..

Please don’t trade David Savard. He is a great guy, a great Dman, a great influence in the locker room, and a great partner on the rink. Look at how much better Xhekaj is playing with him as a partner.

Don’t do it smart people making big decisions. Trade Josh, Allen, or Tanner instead.

Thanks for listening. I feel better now….

 

[Rapala]

savard will be a oiler soon

Only if we get a very good (close) prospect back.
Even if we have to add something to get additional value coming this way.
It's the only thing that makes sense IMO.

Be that as it may, I doubt they'd part with Holloway or Broberg for Savard and he's still serviceable and tradeable next year. Why would MTL trade him for a 2nd and a 4th:

It's not like we have to move him or lose him for nothing as a UFA so....let's wait for the desperate offers...

AGREED
If KH has to add, so be it.. need scoring

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Matvei Petrov if you're dealing with Edmonton.

Struggled this year, his first year in the A. He's got skills though, size and he's Russian, so could assist in future Russians with coming over.

 

[sheed36]

Anderson with salary retained.

I'd be very surprised if Hughes retained on Anderson for the rest of this season and for 3 more seasons after. Hopefully this was just a terrible season for Anderson and he plays better next season.

You are assuming there would only be one component to the deal.
Hughes thinks outside the box so a retained Savard + might net something very good.

 

[CapSpace]

I want Kent Johnson.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I want Kent Johnson.

Forget it. He's a glass body.

 

[LaP]

Holloway?

One of their most interesting prospect is Maximus Wanner. That guy's neck is big enough to intimidate the Broad Street Bullies.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Captain Mountain]

Assuming that there would be retention (and I doubt he'd be moved without), then the 2nd asking price makes sense and I doubt he moves off of it. He can always make a different type of Allen trade in the offseason (especially when another retention slot opens up).

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Avs hade made good moves so far but without an improvement at the goaltender position it likely won't be enough.

He'll also have more suitors in the off-season IF he doesn't move him by Friday.

Next year should be an interesting year: Savard, Armia, Dvorak, Allen, and Evans are in the final year of their deals. So if they're not moved by Friday or off-season, you imagine they will by next TDL.

Avs hade made good moves so far but without an improvement at the goaltender position it likely won't be enough.

And they actually created cap room with their moves earlier today.

My take on Anderson is that he has incredibly low hockey IQ. He doesn’t anticipate and he’s a one trick pony. Loves to skate fast…. Zoom zoom.

But with Marty coaching a less structured game focused more on reading the ‘game’ , I think Anderson is falling behind

 

[sampollock]

2nd round pick for Allen, is good enough

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

2nd round pick for Allen, is good enough

A 4th and no retention is great, too.

 

[The Great Weal]

Lol if Hughes gets a 2nd for Allen with 50% retention he should win GM of the year

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

A 4th and no retention is great, too.

Or a cap dump on an expiring contract.

 

[Habs Icing]

savard will be oily soon

There was a typo in your post. I fixed it.
