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

[SwiftyHab]

So we’re in on Necas.
Laine wants out officially and likely we’re in there too.
Hugo is also looking at a high priced short term free agent signing

Let’s FN GO!

 

[Hannibal]

Prefer Zegras to Laine.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Prefer Zegras to Laine.

Cost isn't the same though.

Anyway not sold of the Laine idea. Sounds like Drouin or Max Pac in his final year 2.0

 

[waitin425]

Laine hasn't played 82 games since 2018/2019. his best offensive season was his rookie season. He has been at, or close to PPG for the two seasons before this one.

Absolutely a ton of risk with this player. Also, a ton of upside.

8.7 million is an incredible amount to pay for him.

As so many have said. IF we go for him, Gally or Andy need to be going the other way. We can not absorb this salary in addition to those two dead weights. It's not feasible.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

All these guys are LD ….
I don’t think Reimbacher and Mailloux are ready to be either #1 or # 2 RD. Neither is Barron

Guhle and Jackeye plays LD we are fine

Columbus would either have to retain or we send them a bad contract either Dvorak or Anderson.

Dvorak: 8 team no trade list (could have Columbus on it).

Anderson: 5 team no trade list. Not a lot, but again Columbus could still be on it.

Gallagher: 6 team no trade list. Again Columbus could be on it. Hard to know.

My current 5-6 team no trade list would include: San Jose, Anaheim, Ottawa, Columbus, Buffalo, and Winnipeg.

Laine also has a 10 team no trade according to the Capital's new website.

 

[Gael]

I would gamble on Laine, why not. Ship Anderson back

Dvorak is gone after this year. I am happy keeping him as our third line centre. Andy and Gally. Gotta be on of those albatross'

You think the Cali teams are on no trade lists? The other 4 for sure.

You would gamble on anything Norm

Anaheim was on Dadanov's no trade list. Both SJS and Anaheim suck right now, and California is a high tax state.

 

[Omar]

Anderson for Laine at 6.5M whatever retention that comes out to. Can’t have him close to Suzuki and Caufield

That's true

 

[Jack Skellington]

Anaheim was on Dadanov's no trade list. Both SJS and Anaheim suck right now, and California is a high tax state.

I just assumed that was because Dadonov was a freak that chose to live in Ottawa of his own free will

Kent Hughes at 6am draft morning looking for a trade partner….

Decent possibility Montreal is on Laine's 10 team no trade list

Looking through UFAs, i would think the following are the most likely to be signed to a short term deal;

Matt Duchene
Vladimir Tarasenko
Adam Henrique
David Perron
Anthony Mantha
Daniel Sprong
Anthony Duclair
Jake DeBrusk
James Van Riemsdyk
Jason Zucker

If I had to guess, DeBrusk, Perron, Mantha, Duclair, Sprong and Zucker seem the likeliest to sign here.

If I had to wager, I'd put my money on Perron.

 

[SOLR]

I don't think you understand what "strawman" means.

That, or you were trying to be ironic

Either way, bad take is a bad take. Injuries aren't what you appear to think they are, simple as that.

Not realizing that you didn't respond to my proposition is ironic for the rest of us.

You have no qualification about this particular subject. "Injuries aren't what you appear to think they are, simple as that." What in the hell are you talking about, this is about the most ignorant and dumb statement you could possibly come up with lol. Kudos, hard to top that. Takes a special character.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Which is good since we just rid of Drouin

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

They only way it make sense for us is if Anderson or Gallagher is in the deal. If Laine doesn’t work out, we are handcuffed with a third big problematic contract. Hugues won’t do that.

Laine only has 2 years left and the habs have a ton of cap space. The contract isn't really a problem.

 

[Laboeuf]

Would a team between 10-15 trade their pick for 26th pick 2024, 1st round 2025 (Florida) and Logan Mallioux?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I wouldn't trade Mailloux for a pick 10-15, let alone add two first round picks to it...

 

[Miller Time]

Laine, assuming he/his agent confirmed his understanding and openness to playing in a high pressure market, would be a very interesting target...

Regardless of spin, the trade request + his health issues (mental + physical) + cap hit will depress Waddell's negotiation leverage.

If we can do any of:
- send 1 of Gally/Anderson the other way
- pay minimal assets (depth prospects or picks)
-get cbj to retain ~40% (~5M cap hit)

It's a slam dunk imo.

 

[Miller Time]

Not realizing that you didn't respond to my proposition is ironic for the rest of us.

Now you speak for the board eh

Injuries
Strawman
Irony

The list of words that don't mean what you think they mean grow with each compounding bad take.

You have no qualification about this particular subject.

your poor takes highlight that you have zero clue about high performance sport.

Assuming you know my qualifications is a great example of why assuming makes an ass of...

"Injuries aren't what you appear to think they are, simple as that." What in the hell are you talking about, this is about the most ignorant and dumb statement you could possibly come up with lol. Kudos, hard to top that. Takes a special character.

even with a youth sport performance level of understanding of sport injuries, you'd be able to understand... But clearly that's out of reach. My suggestion, go book a physio appointment and talk to them about injuries, rehab, recovery and return to play... Might help fix your confusion

Bottom line.
83 + 5 games. 60 points. 29 years old.

That's the last season of the player you claim to be a write off due to previous injuries. Nuff said.

 

[The Great Weal]

Don't expect Laine to bounce back and become the star he was projected to be pre-draft, but I think he'd be a fine reclamation project. I can't see Columbus asking for much considering he's got a bad contract.
