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

[Scintillating10]

how? what do you think he gets? He shouldnt get any more than Suzuki.

About 7 million. Issues with Necas also, could be this year's Dubois.

 

[Sterling Archer]

The biggest problem with Necas is his father. For that reason, I pass now.

Focus on Zegras who already has chemistry and friendship with Caufield and can slide into the core effortlessly.

 

[SnapVirus]

Id rather have Laine or Zegras than Necas. I dont like Necas, i feel being on a good offensive team helped him boost his stats. He sucks defensively and will command a high salary.

I am not a fan of any of them tbh

 

[General Fanager]

so do Laine and Zegras

Anyways I would take the chance with Zegras but not Laine.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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

There's more, but teams are still playing and whatnot. I'm sure more names might trickle out as we get closer to the draft.

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.

Necas wants to be a centre as that's the most valuable position, so he can get more.

He isn't very good defensively, he sucks on draws and no one wants to pay 7, or 8 mill for a 50+ point centre who can't win draws, isn't good defensively and is, best case scenario a 2nd line centre with the Habs.

That's just me adding to that, not trying to debate you, as we have the same stance.

The more that comes out about Necas the more he makes it an easy pass.

Necas is a 70+ winger. He may not be that productive at centre though.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's done it once. He's not a 70 point winger.

That's like saying Brian Gionta was a 40 goal scorer.

 

[MtlSars]

He's done it once. He's not a 70 point winger.

That's like saying Brian Gionta was a 40 goal scorer.

To be fair Necas is only 25 and not exactly a finished product who couldn't possibly reach those heights ever again.....

He likely has 10 more years of good hockey in him...

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Necas is a very good player. He put up 70 at 23 and head a down year last year. Plays on the pP but doesn't play on the 1st line I believe. If he was with the Canadiens his production would depend on whether he was on the 1st PP unit.

Next season........more than likely, the first PP will be
CC
Slaf
Suzuki
Dach
Matheson...
That said..................Habs always have two units for the PP
Necas, Newhook, Gally, Andeson. Guhlie??

Does anyone know, what it will take to get Necas? If that's the hill they choose.

100% true and he could produce at, or even better than a 70 point pace. Could also be he produces at his 50+ pace.

He's a good player that would be nice to add, but the cost to acquire him and then sign him is likely too high.

Then, if he believes what his father said and he wants to a be a centre, then that's no bueno and should be seen as an issue. Again, if that's true.

He would pprobably only be a target if he is willing to accept a reasonable contract.

Agrred on all counts. If he is in a favorable situation and doesn't get back to 70 in the next 2 seasons then he isn't going to. And if his father is going to be a problem they will likely pass on him. And it would have to be the right contract and in a reasonable deal (not likely with Carolina)

 

[Archijerej]

It’s not inflated is the point. People are afraid of giving him $7m per, but why when he doesn’t have near the downside of those other two and clearly has more upside (at the time of signing).

Precisely because we already have those two bad contracts on the books. You can hardly use them as an argument for paying Necas what he wants.

I'm not against kicking tires, but it's a similar case as PLD. It has the potential to be a nice add, but not really someone you get into a bidding war, trade a young core piece (Guhle), or break the bank for.

 

[McGees]

I feel like the people that want Zegras have only watched his highlights.

HEEEELLLL NO to Zegras.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

so do Laine and Zegras

Anyways I would take the chance with Zegras but not Laine.

Or none of the 3.

 

[gusfring]

I'm starting to warm to the idea of trading Guhle for a forward.

 

[Rapala]

We were 26th in GF this past year

Laine had 28 goals in his past 2seasons (73 games) & has a .42 g/g through 400+ NHL games.

Good for him I wish him luck.

 

[Zilo44]

I'm starting to warm to the idea of trading Guhle for a forward.

Dont know is Beniers could be a target?

I’d say it’s different from PLD since he’s never asked to be traded from two teams. There’s no attitude or effort issue with Necas. He’s just a young guy they can’t afford anymore.

The Canes seem to be ready to pay Jarvis, but not Necas.
I think both are good players....

 

[gusfring]

No chance on Beniers.

 

[Pat Riot]

I feel like the people that want Zegras have only watched his highlights.

HEEEELLLL NO to Zegras.

I feel like the people that dont want Zegras never watched him play or even watch the highlights but are just repeating what media are saying

 

[McGees]

I have most defined watched him and when he’s not doing the Michigan he is a complete anchor.

 

[Pat Riot]

If you had watch him play you would know that is not true.

In your evaluation if Zegras doesnt do a michigan he has a bad game. I fail to see why scoring a michigan equal having a good game
