HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #87: 2024 Season Finale

[417]

OTT can't trade Tkachuck.... may as well fold the team. People here in Ottawa will just stop going to see the games.

You mean even more people here in Ottawa will just stop going to see the games.

If it's an option, you consider it for sure. I would love to add Brady to this group but it could end up derailing things. Of course he helps us move up faster but that D man, it's young. I don't see us being a strong defensive team for 3+ years (min). We need most of our D core in that age 25-30 range.

I can't help but think that we are deflated after 4 seasons and Brady walks. Anyways, Sens are not trading Brady to the Habs. It's cheap talk.

Derailing if you mean not following an exact path… I mean a forward group of Tkatchuk - Newhook - Dach, Slaf - Suzuki - some missing elite RW seems like something you would build an actual top 10 nhl attack around. He’s not going anywhere, but no way adding a 24 yo 6’4 225 pounder that scores 30-40 isn’t a wet dream. Trade half the lhd at that point for the one RW and habs are in the show.

If Brady was available, I would hope the team would do what it could to bring him on the club.

[Naslundforever]

What if he's at the root of all the tension?


Matheson + for Zadorov?

Man...I don't think I've seen a quality Dman as disrespected by his own fanbase as I see Matheson is on this forum.

A guy on a sweet contract coming off a 62pt season, and they have to add, in order to add a player whose a few weeks away from free agency and isn't even a top 4 Dman?

Wild stuff, all due respect.

Matheson and Suzuki are the most gifted, entertaining athletes on the team. Matheson bowls over players who stand him up over the blue, and is the only guy can go end to end and every time you think he has a chance.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Ottawa shut it down hard already but even if it were true, they're not trading him in the division.

 

[417]

If Brady was available, I would hope the team would do what it could to bring him on the club.

Can you imagine the cost it would take to get the Senators to send their captain 2 hours away down the 417?

We'd have to toss in half our fanbase with a promise to fill that sarcophagus they call an arena on game night's for them to even consider it.

I would still hold out hope that we'd be able to make a considerable offer.

The habs have the assets for the first time in like 30 years to be aggressive.

I'm bullish on Brady. He gets so much flak on these boards, but he's a pest and can score. Love the way he plays the game in the o-zone.

Brady, Slaf, Dach. This team would be the biggest pain in the ass.

 

[Kosseca]

I mean you need a incentive to get people to fight their way in and out of that building's parking and to enjoy the 417 parking lot lol

Then again, if they stop going, it may make my return home commute easier lol TRADE HIM!!!!!

Seriously, when the rumor came out, people in my office where so upset, some where ready to just change teams... and they are hardcore fan.

Yeah I get it...I think he's a tad overrated personally, if there was some conceivable way I thought the Habs could acquire him, i'd be interested.

I just don't think it's feasible. I can't imagine an organization that's already having difficulty engaging a fanbase where a large % are already Habs fans, trading their most popular player to Montreal.

 

[FerrisRox]

For sure, even 7 mil is asking for much.

I'd be more interested in how much Lundell is going to ask from the Panthers.

$7 million would be an outrageous bargain for Necas.

Brutal...I've refused free tickets to go see the Habs play in Ottawa for this very reason lol.

Debatable lol.

Caufield and a prospect?

Well, let just say that until that moment they where fighting tooth and nail to defend that organization and players. The prospect of seeing BT leave almost make then rethink their allegiance. Then again, I'm not saying they are the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to hockey either lol

 

[417]

Caufield and a prospect?

Brady Tkachuk, as much as I personally think he's overrated, means so much more to the survivability of that franchise, There's not an offer that would even begin to make sense for the Montreal Canadiens to make, that would make it even plausible for the Ottawa Senators to trade their captain.

That's IMO. But given I live in this boring ass city, I think I've got a good handle on it.

Not like we would do it but Suzuki/Tkachuk would calm it down a bit. I'm sure they would like the Suzuki return.

It's a very fickle fanbase/city when it comes to pro sports...sure there are some hardcore fans but by and large, it's a not a fanbase that's going to ride out the bad times.

You take away Tkachuk......

 

[417]

I wouldn't do it from the Habs perspective...sorry.

But I don't think that would be a popular move from the Sens fanbase either to be honest.

I wouldn't either. I'm just speaking towards who the Sens might be OK with as a return from us where it doesn't derail the franchise. Popular move vs OK move. Different conversation

Like I said...there's already a huge fan engagement problem in this city.

You know what's a good way to piss off for good a fanbase that's already sick of being the ignored sibling of Habs/Leafs fans?

Trade your most popular player to one of those fanbases.

 

[The Real Timo]

Yeah, no way Suzuki goes the other way. Caufiled is as high as I'd go + Barron. Afterall, look at Lekhy - Barron is going to be as impactful, right?

 

[Adriatic]

Agreed. New owners and a very bad message to send to the fan base. They just spent the last 5 years rebuilding with limited success and then they trade Brady? How deflating would that be. Good luck getting fans in the seats.

Unless Brady requests a trade? What a mess that would be.

I mean that's only a matter of time. It's gonna happen sooner or later lol

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Would you do 5th overall for Keith’s son?

Why would the Sens do it? Serious underpay to a divisional rival.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I mean that's only a matter of time. It's gonna happen sooner or later lol

It might. 4 more years in term left and not so sure the Sens are going to find the pieces they need to turn things around. Best case, he stays for 4 years and walks.

Why would the Sens do it? Serious underpay to a divisional rival.

5th OA is not enough and most agree. The debate is how much more is fair. Fair is subjective

If BT wanted out of Ottawa, it wouldn’t be to go to Montreal.

It’s a pipe dream.
