Seattle will have to retain for sure for him to have a significant value even at the deadline.

Small but I think most would describe him as hard to play against. I’d add real assets to Dvorak to get a deal done. Might even retain.

Dave Pagnotta mentioned on 690 Lawson Crouse be perfect for Habs. Big body, 27, decent contract, 20-25 goals. Said Boston and Calgary tried to acquire him in past but the prize was steep. He said Utah probably ask for defense. They lost 2 recently to long term injury.

Which upside Laval D who is redundant, not likely in long term plans and who is close enough to graduate but who holds enough appeal to build a trade offer for Crouse? Unless, from the NHL roster … Barron?

Crouse would be the dream, if there's any way. He's a perfect ''big guy who can play'' type, plus he's a left shot.

Yes I am agreeing. Even if the rest of the team is doing nothing he should be leading and producing like Terry is.

That is not a bottom-6 player. ... And the price to pay for him absolutely won't be in line with prices normally paid for bottom-6 players.

Hughes is apparently looking for bottom-6 help now, that would costs assets in line with a bottom-6er, and that wouldn'T screw up future plans.
Thinking of Crouse for long term does directly against those two aims.
So did several posters here for the past 2 years lol...
He wasn't available in AZ & with the move to Utah, I doubt he'll be made available now. As much as they need D, with their top 6 forward group I doubt they'd move him... But certainly would hope KH at least kicks those tires.

I don't see how adding a top-4 RHD would block any of our prospects, Mailloux and Reinbacher are our only RHD prospects and we will always need three RD. Also with Rein's injury and Mailloux's defense we should be easing them into the lineup slowly. If both Reinbacher and Mailloux are studs we can just let Savard walk or sign him cheap and trade him when the time comes.
For bottom 6 guys you really want to fill it with your own prospects to keep costs down. Otherwise unless you are adding real bottom of the barrel guys you can spend too much. Maybe have an anchor, best if the C on each of the bottom lines, but you shouldn't be paying $10M for a 3rd line.

Agreed. And I know you didn't name him, but while I want long neck to have a chance, he's not the player who you prevent yourself from getting a top 4 guy.

That's just not true. One is already playing in the NHL and is PPG. The other hasn't proven anything yet

I wonder if Utah would be interested in matheson. Not that we should offload - but would be curious on what they'd offer. Habs should at least be listening even if they'd prefer to hold on to Matheson
