HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #88: 2024-25 Season

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why do you double count assets?

im not , this was the assets needed to get those 3 players at the end.

 

[Mrb1p]

It wasn't an attempt at a cheap shot, that's your assumption. You seem to be going far out of your way to protect someone for what I can only guess are political reasons. I shouldn't have to remind you that this is a hockey forum, do I? I'm not going far out of my way to criticize a hockey player who cries when poked. If you think it's normal to cry, as an adult, when someone makes the lightest bit of humor at your name, you're an insecure child. If you think that's the kind of player that survives in Montreal, you're once again deciding to leave your hockey analysis hat off in lieu of another. That's a you problem.

Eh, I'd say if you think crying for any reason at all is some kind of weakness or lack of mental toughness, I'd say that's pretty lame man. People cry, for a million different reasons. Maybe he thought about his grandfather? Maybe the thought of someone ridiculing his name made him emotional? So what?

 

[OnTheRun]

im not , this was the total cost to get those 3

Not that I care, but Romanov and the Isles pick def overlap.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Not that I care, but Romanov and the Isles pick def overlap.

i mean in reality yes but still those assets were needed to make those trades done.

 

[Treb]

im not , this was the assets needed to get those 3 players at the end.

But you are including the assets we got from Romanov and Lehkonen in addition to counting them.

You are counting the value twice.

 

[Lockin17]

IF the Preds are going on full rebuild.
Who would be interesting to us ?

Forsberg ?

 

[Treb]

i mean in reality yes but still those assets were needed to make those trades done.

That's just being dishonest.

 

[OnTheRun]

Yeah ok, but they would have traded Romo for Dach straight up if the Hawks had wanted him. They wanted a top15 pick, so they had to turn Romo into a currency the Hawks were willing to accept first and that was the Isles pick.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

That's just being dishonest.

What do you mean it's dishonest? That's literally what we paid for perhaps i could remove the 3 way trade but still , it was directly made for Dach.

I don't get it why you think so.

I agree on that since this was a 3way trade type of thing but they paid to get the asset they needed to get the other asset that chicago wanted.
Also that's the only trade that habs did this , nor for Barron and Newhook.

 

[Mrb1p]

IF the Preds are going on full rebuild.
Who would be interesting to us ?

Forsberg ?

They have a lot of great players.

FF9, ROR, Passinnen, Tomasino, Evangelista, Sissons, Big Mac, L'heureux, Carrier and Josi.

The first two and Josi change the makeup of this team really fast. The others are depth additions but they would be great additions.

I don't get it why you think so.

If you sell your lawn mower for 100$ and then buy a new one for 300$, will you say it cost you your lawn mower and 300$?

No, you would either say your old lawn mower and 200$ or 300$ straight up.

You are voluntarily inflating the assets spent so the trades look worse than they are.

 

[le_sean]

Fabbro is a giveaway machine. Preds fans hate him. He's not a young guy anymore. This is definitely a pass.

We'll see if San Jose takes him. They have 1st dibs.

His advanced metrics say differently. I think the Preds are just a tire fire.

 

[salbutera]

Yup - also about proper fit…I suspect he fits MSLs concept better

Fabbro has a better xGF% this season than all of Habs defencemen.

 

[Whitesnake]

Not a huge fan of Fabbro...I think that the ceiling has been reached....but...still would be neat to have him for nothing.

You think it will be the case under a Habs system no matter how bad the Preds are?

To be fair advanced stats told us that Tom Gilbert was good.

 

[le_sean]

I wish we had Tom Gilbert instead of about 5 of these defenders.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I wish we had Tom Gilbert instead of about 5 of these defenders.

Simpler times, but I think he'd struggle with whatever they're trying to do.

I think if MSL smartens up, or he gets fired/steps down we'll see the players aren't as bad as they look this year.

 

[salbutera]

Yes…short term & then who knows - NHL experience matters for Dman

$2.5M AAV / UFA at seasons end … not a bad gamble…May even end up netting a trade deadline return

I’m of the opinion Habs simply need a spark and Fabbro could potentially provide it

 

[red devil]

Friedman says he doesn't think Fabbro will be picked up from waivers because of his contact which is 2.5 million for this year

 

[MrNasty]

Claim Fabbro. The team has plenty of cap space and he is UFA. Play him and move him at the deadline. These guys need somebody, anybody, to make them scared of their jobs.

 

[Wateredgarden]

The fact that Fabro is 26 years old is already an advantage on most of our D.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I can’t see how Hughes doesn’t put a claim in on Fabbro.

It’s a free asset, we need right hand shooting defensemen, he’s shown he can play at a high level very recently, and he has ample cap space.

Should be noted that Hughes could also elect to retain on Fabbro and deal him to a contender at the deadline and acquire further assets if he decides he isn’t part of the team’s short or long term plans.

Basically it’s free money for Hughes, who has shown he is more than willing to make deals of that nature.

It means taking on 2.5 milliom for a below average player but more importantly sending down Xhekaj/Struble.

Sending Xhekaj down could be good for him, as it was last year.

We are not desperate for the cap space and he is better than Gustav Lindstrom.
