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

[sampollock]

I find he's a terrible hockey player still living off th reputation of one magical year and above average pugilistic skills.

He's a bigger Michael Pezzetta.

Have need tough guys like him
Not there to score, needs are grit

Don't disagree with that but they have to be good at playing hockey. I don't think he is.

Would much prefer to sign Joshua as suggested by @OldCraig71

But that's me, not a fan of Jeannot at all.

What role you see Necas playing on Habs?

at $7M x 7, I'd see him as the 1b to Suzuki 1a and vice versa (neither being a true stud C). This direction creates a formidable top 6 with two legit scoring lines, and a perfectly good winning formula.
I wouldn't sign him to more than $7M however, considering there are other ways to address the top 6

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

habs are not in need of an overpaid 4th liner who can produce 15 points a season .

We already have those in 2 lines of that and we want more? Physical is not the issue , we lack of skills and simply talent. Finding Jeannots are why the trade deadline exist , We should aim to fix our defense who is 1 of the worst of the league and to manage to find a real 2nd line because Suzuki can't carry everyone.

Because at the moment we speak, our opening roster is pretty much the same as the last 2 years.

I think 7 too much. Necas only averages 55 points a season with defensive issues.

Joshua is a noticeable player on the ice, has talent is not shy when it comes to physical play, scored 18 goals this year and was good in the playoffs in the games I watched. He will probably end up getting 2.5 million a season and might stay in Vancouver but would be a good player to target if he hits the market.

Is he a UFA?
Or do they need to trade for him

UFA.

 

[sampollock]

UFA.

Better then Tanner
Sign him up

 

[Weltschmerz]

Better then Tanner
Sign him up

He is pretty much this years version of Tanner, also will be overpaid if he makes it to UFA.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Better then Tanner
Sign him up

He'll get more.

Jeannot is a very useful player. He didn't produce as well as he did because he didn't get the great opportunities.

 

[McGees]

Hutson has a unique skill set that could potentially make him a huge difference maker on a contending team.

 

[BozoTheClown]

He reminds me Micheal Ferland. Big physical forward that will drop the gloves and has enough skill to score 20+ goals. Unfortunately, injuries cut his career short.
I think Jeannot might be one more concussion away from retirement.

Why not bring Deslaurier back if we are looking for toughness.

If you look at some comparable.

Jeannot gets 2.65mil in TB
Anderson gets 5.5 mil in Mtl
Paul gets 3.15 mil in TB
Foligno gets 4.5 mil in Chi
Crouse gets 4.3 in Uta
Frederick was getting 2.3 mil in Bos and now UFA.

I think Joshua gets around 3mil for at least 3 years and staying in Vancouver. He was often the difference maker this year.

I think that's why they brought in prospect like F. Xhekaj and L. Tuch in the mix.

 

[Nevins]

Nobody saw the Dach and Newhook ´s trade coming. I think it will be the same this time....A forward under 25 but it won't be Necas. And even less Kalyev who is very slow...

 

[Nevins]

A name no one is talking about and there has been rumours before....

Jordan Kyrou.

I bet you that is the target this off season.

Why would St. Louis trade him? And if they do, it would cost a lot ....and he's paid 8$ M…

 

[salbutera]

Why would Tampa not hold on to him at that low AAV?

Looking for ways to free up $ to extend Stamkos

Feels like he can get a much better deal than that.

That would be a bargain based on the player I observed this season and in the playoffs.

 

[Miller Time]

If habs swap Matheson for Necas, they still have a boatload of assets to bring experience on D.

What vet d would you target?

Do you think there are any vets that can play regular top 4min who will get less than 4.5M/year this summer?

I'd be shocked if he gets anything less than 3.5M/per on any deal he signs... Very surprised if it's less than 4M$ anywhere other than Van

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I’ve been talking about Joshua for two weeks and barely a peep. That juice arse @OldCraig71 mentions him once and gets almost two full pages about it…. Man.

 

[tazsub3]

Why would Tampa not hold on to him at that low AAV?

I think they will . That aside we need him or a player like him for sure

 

[Laboeuf]

If Lindstrom and Demidov are gone by #5

Calgary wants to move up to take Iginla.

Asking price is Conner Zary, Jacob Pelletier and 9th overall pick.

 

[le_sean]

Joshua will command a contract that will be a detriment to the team that signs him. He’s a good player but he’s going to get that Goodrow money.
