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

[Runner77]

I don’t get the talks for Laine, are we living in the past?

Forum desperation for top 6 supersized scoring threats has caused serious mental health issues to be viewed as a character builder.

 

[Simarino]

I wouldnt mind gambling on Laine but at that point with his situation he's got negative value, one of Anderson or Gallagher got to go the other way

 

[tazsub3]

Interesting but Drouin for 4 years at 5m per year seems like crazy talk. It's also kind of weird that Marchessault is ahead of Stamkos in terms of cap cost despite both being 34, both only getting a 3 year projected deal, and Stamkos not only being more productive this year but throughout their careers as well.

For the Habs Taransenko at 2 years 4.15m seems like a pretty good plan B option.

Drouin lol when was the last playoff game win he played ?

 

[General Fanager]

His upside would be for him to reclaim his old form



Hes only 26 and a surefire 30 goals scorer per season if he manage to stay healthy. Wouldnt cost much and only have a 2 season contract. Its an interesting gamble with very low risk if he doesnt pan out

and of course the downside is that he doesnt and his contract sinks them for another bunch of years......

He only has 2 years left on his contract. Would rather gamble on him than signing Necas for 7 years

As you said, his health has been a problem so he hasn't actually score 30 goals once in the last 5 years.

The Habs are at a point that those kind of move are mostly detrimental for the evolution of the team, too many prospect with no open roster spot open as of now.

I want Necas in the worst way.

I'd trade Guhle for him and draft Dickinson

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

we getting no top 9 players without getting rid of 2 of Armia/Anderson/Dvorak/Gallagher and 1 of Pezetta/Evans/Ylonen

That's our lineup if Dach is back and Ylonen signed

Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Newhook-Dach-Gallagher
Armia-Dvorak-Anderson
HarveyPinard-Evans-Ylonen/Pezetta

That entire bottom 6 could be all gone in next year draft. I don't see us adding a core player from a trade without trading our scrap. Also if a player like Roy makes the lineup we might have to waive players...

Which is better

Iginla
Guhle

Or

Necas
Dickinson

Honestly my impression is that Guhle provides a lot of leadership, and so the team will hold on to him.

If the doctor say hes healthy and ready to go. Barring his injuries he was still basically a PPG player the last seasons. Like I said because of his lowest cost to acquire then Necas and the duration of his contract I would much prefer trading for Laine then signing Necas for around the same money but for 7 years duration. Laine is only 1 year older than Necas

Necas brings what we can only hope Iginla can bring.

Dickinson has a higher ceiling than Guhle, but is 4-5 years before realizing that ceiling, whereas Guhle is probably hitting it in 1-2 years.

I just feel like Necas has massive breakout potential. I know he is 25, but I think his development curve is still rising, and I want a piece of that!

Necas did not seem to get used as much this year by the Canes as last year either......hence his numbers went down somewhat.
That said, he sure did seem to get a ton of TOI in the playoffs, and was a big player for them....

Would be great, to finally have a serious offensive threat on the team to go with Slaf, Suzuki, CC and Dach.....use Newhook to round out the top 6.

 

[Hansman]

When he was on the ice, he was everywhere.................must have been drinking Red Bull on the bench.
He had a great game.

He certainly got my attention last 2 games.

Geez is that our lineup? Is someone good missing? That's a really lousy lineup. That's what poor Dach gets. I thought we were better than that but when you look at that team...... I think we have a few more years of hurting and signing Laine would be dumb for various reasons. And no blue chip forwards coming either. Bummer! I like Necas though but after the world cup he's gonna cost a bundle. Everyone knows Necas now unfortunately.

 

[waitin425]

In a perfect world we somehow score Necas with the Jets pick + Barron + Roy. After the playoffs and WC, that will get outbid though.

If we did do it though, and then draft Demi/Lindstrom/Iginla with the 5th......Look the f out!

Necas - Suzuki - Slaf
Caufield - Dach - Demi/Lindstrom/Iginla
Newhook - Beck/Kapanen - Mesar
Heinemen - Kapanen/Beck - Ylonen

Guhle - Matheson
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Mailloux

Is a hell of a future!

Doctor can only say if he's healthy now, but not down the road....and that's actually why he's going to cost less than a Necas for example (not really advocating for him either actually), but in the end, you better get certainty than uncertainty,

 

[The Great Weal]

Geez is that our lineup? Is someone good missing?

Roy. He's most likely getting top 6 time, top 9 for sure.

 

[Kiss Under the Guy]

I want Necas in the worst way.

It's actually the third worst way to want Necas, after Slaf and Suzuki

 

[Canadiens98]

I have really, really liked Holloway this post season. His regular season stats look poor but his play during the playoffs has impressed me. He's going to be an RFA, I wonder if the Oilers would be looking to move him for the right price.

 

[NeptunesTrident]

I understand that people see Guhle as fragile, but trading him to draft another left defenseman so that he too can play on his offside is just crazy.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Instead of putting Guhle on trade list , put him on his good side and play him with someone good.
This way we wont trade our future because we put them on terrible positions.

 

[sampollock]

Necas and Zegras
Are these the only 2 names KH is looking at?

I highly doubt it...
I bet if he does get someone it won't even be either of these two

 

[Scintillating10]

Necas contract will kill us though

 

[le_sean]

Necas contract will kill us though

It’s not the contract of a young and productive player that will kill the Habs. It’s the contract of old and over the hill players that will.

 

[Habs7631]

Necas dad just gave an interview saying his son wants to play on the 1st line and on the 1st PP unit.

Necas wants to play center.

So in other words he wants to be the #1C?

But canes fans are saying he’s shit on the defensive side of things and shit at taking faceoffs. Which is why Brind'Amour ain’t playing him center. And Rod would know a thing or two about what it takes to play center.

And he wants big money.

There is a reason why he’s on the trading block.

Hard pass.

I generously offer the 2025 Pittsburgh 2nd and Anderson. Offer valid for 48hrs.
