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

[Runner77]

They wouldn't get the cap space back though. They would likely take back a cap dump in any deal.

Up to Hughes to spin his magic, hopefully his patience pays off.

 

[HuGort]

Matheson has great skill but not hockey smarts to match. While he has good numbers this season now the time to trade him. While his value is high. He's not in long term future for Habs.

Matheson should be traded by March 8th, Wifi called up.Finish his development in Montreal.

We should try to reunite the Dach brothers and get Colton from Chicago.

Friedman - I've heard people say there's what Montreal is asking and what they're willing to accept.

Toronto put out feelers to get a backup, were offering a 6th and didn't get a bite. Teams were apparently asking for more, even for the middling goalies.

Gibson hard to move as no one can take the full contract and retention would raise his price up a lot.

Habs will likely need to retain on Allen, he's not worth the same as Gibson, but the cost is high.

I would be ok with another young 6'4 center.

If they're that cheap, they can lose.

Did he actually say Tor offered a 6th?
Their starter is waived and having an identity crisis and you offer a 6th??????!!!!!

 

[SwiftyHab]

This for real?

I would do that trade but it ain't happening

You know it has to be true when they use the authoritative, lethal combo of “insiderrrrrs” and “Monohan” in the same tweet.

Sounds like drunk person clickbait.

 

[Sterling Archer]

This for real?

No

Another injury prone player? Sure let's do it... what can go wrong?

 

[HuGort]

This for real?

No

 

[Gustave]

Yeah Mitch Marner for free, just as the Leafs are trying to reach the Cup and exploit the last of their window, all the while taking our spare parts!! Woohoo!! Merry Christmas you filthy animals, and a happy new Year!

 

[ReHabs]

This for real?

If it's who I'm thinking about, this Terge guy sucked so much during the Bergevin era. He was a die-hire for Bergevin's every move and would attack anyone who disagreed as a Subbanista.

They were hoping to get a goalie for like a 6th

This for real?

No, but if you think it is I have some stuff I can sell you.

I can see Montreal asking for a 1st for Allen. Probably something like Allen & a 2024 3rd for a 2024 1st.

I think Montreal would take a contract back in lieu of retaining.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Laf is improving slowly. On pace for 50 pts this year. It's not like he plateau-ed or something.
Would be our 3rd best forward.

Panarin is making him look better than he is. He is really average.

I don’t buy it there no “2nd rounder” involved..

Other teams will look at him if they feel like they need a puck moving or offensive boost to their middle pair. No teams are fooled by the fact that he plays top minutes, and won't pay premium assets just based on that.

The best the Habs can hope for in this situation if they do want to trade him is that there are many teams looking for exactly what Matheson provides, and not alot of supply. These are the actual elements that will have the most impact on driving up his value.

Defensemen at trade deadline sometimes go for more than they worth. I would ask for Toffoli type return,? A first and solid prospect

But didn’t some here “predict” Matheson would get Norris votes…

There's also people here who think he's hot garbage. It's probably best to ignore the extreme takes on both ends of the spectrum

 

[HuGort]

Kakko I would like to trade for this summer. His speed and size be good for forecheck and puck retrieval. Should make good third liner. He handles the puck well. Doesn't have the hands to play in top 6. Just have to wait until price goes down on him.
