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

Did we get anyone yet they are handing out the Stanley Cup FFS.
Guhle by himself is enough for those 2.
Kent needs to grow some balls and stop letting Bettman bully him.
Be like the Sens GM and just announce the goddamn trades.

The Caps who pulled the tent pegs in the first place to be able to get a player like Leonard will not be selling him C'mon people.

All of em. We're going on a 2009 Bob Gainey run of getting guys.
In all seriousness I think we get Laine. I think we take a really good run at Necas but Dundon is still a lil b word about the previous offersheet and won't let Tulsky play ball.
None of the above, likely a 3rd liner overpaid because of his UFA status.
And we all know Erik Karlsson was terribad.
The others are all forwards and don't equate IMO.
It's really not ideal having defencemen turning the puck over in hockey.
That would be great if it happens:
Cauf Suz Slaf
Toff Stamkos Reinhart
Marchessault Dach Newhook
RHP Monahan Perron
Pez
Out: Armia, Anderson, Gallagher, Dvo, Evans, Ylonen
Saundies
Fly On The Wall
Also extremely likely.
I think we take Eiserman if he's still there. Habs took him out to eat and they like a project.

I'm starting to wonder if Reilly Smith might not be the guy we acquire in the end.
Decent size, would slot right in next to Dach on the second line, and is signed for only one more year at 5 millions a year.
The Pens are ridiculously thin on D and could use one of our lesser trade chips like Harris or Barron.
I think this is something that would make a lot of sense. The risk is minimal, the payoff is decent, and it's only one year for decent money (5M).
Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield
Smith - Dach - Newhook
Armia - Dvorak - Gallagher
UFA (Trenin/Duhaime) - Evans - Anderson
Far from being sexy, likely still a bottom-12 team, but at the very least it would provide Dach with another semi-capable winger.
Another guy we overlook and who might really well end up here is Matt Duchene.
The guy already signed his big contract, is still getting plenty of money from his buyout, is a huge Habs fan, and might not be getting that much term at 33 years old. A longshot but not THAT much of a ridiculous one.

I don't see the Habs giving up an asset for a one year guy.
Not sure if Smith has positive value at this point. I think the Pens would be happy to just get rid of his cap hit.
Maybe as a plan D, if he's free or come with a sweetener.

I don't really see us getting into a long term engagement at significant money this summer neither. And let's be real. Harris and Barron's values are pretty much nil. You're not getting a ton for those guys and with the logjam coming up you might end up losing them for even less if you just hang on to them.
Not saying Reilly Smith is my plan A. But I don't see us acquiring a lot of terms except if it's for a guy like Necas or Zegras.
And Harris/Barron + the 26th ain't going to get us those guys. To get ANA or CAR talking you need to start with Guhle or Xhekaj.
I agree that he'd fit term wise as a stop gap, if the Habs can't find better players in trades.
But why would you say that Harris and Barron's value is nil?
Just because they probably can't get you a player like Necas doesn't mean that they're worthless.
There's a big gap between Necas and Riley Smith in terms of value.
Just because the Habs have a lot of Ds, doesn't mean that they have to give some away.
That wouldn't be good assets management.
Definitely... He's a vet that would require either a sweetener or offloading a bad cap hit in return.

Bullshit it’s for the best. The board is poorer without you buddy, its understandable to take some time away in the off season but we need you around and posting.Here but no longer posting regularly and it’s probably for the best.
You and others are doing a great job keeping exchanges interesting and that’s all that really matters.

Whaaaat the f***?!
Demote the asshole coming after you. I don't give a shit. You're the best there is, Runner - and one of the reasons I (and I'm sure MOST others) love this place.
Stupid Oilers. If you’re gonna lose just do it in 4. Now we had to wait another week for nothing before the trades.
Going to bed. If no trade when I wake up we’re gonna have problems Kent.

I am going to guess none of these and they get someone we haven't heard was available.
