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

[morhilane]

Indeed.

Though hard to imagine Crosby would be ok with that unless he was also ready to move on... Why not all three amigos

Since nobody will trade a younger version of a #1/2 line center for a 38 years old version, I doubt Malkin is moving with the intention of the Pens getting "better"...so Crosby will be against it.

But no to the 3 amigos. Letang's contrat is going to be deadweight soon and he's apparently struggling this year already.

 

[red devil]

Alright that's a bit more interesting.

Mcdavid is a given. Maybe Hyman for an extra viewing.

Jackets can't think of anyone for team Canada. Fantilli is clearly not at that level yet.

Kraken has no one who should be no one considered.

Flames. - Weegar.

Blues - Kyrou, Parayko, Bennington. All 3 should be on the outside looking in, but Canada's goaltending is ooooof

Not a whole lot of tweeners

The Oilers and Kraken have a couple of players each they will want to watch. Some of these are going to be longshots but they still will want to scout them

Edmonton - Bouchard and Skinner
Seattle - McCann and Montour

What are they scouting Skinner for stickboy.

Mr Peabody is making a trade with KH
he is there to watch Nick

Other notes on the centers: Complicating the situation for Christian Dvorak is that he has too much of a salary in 2024-25 — $5.75 million ($4.45 million cap hit). We'll see how that goes as that salary drops over the course of the season." - Elliotte Friedman

Habs had Winnipeg 1st + player on the table for Necas

oh what could have been

Sounds like it was very close, to a deal......

 

[sampollock]

PL is like a trade incoming
I bet KH sits on that for a month, after 2 months after PL is back

Right after the holidays, we are about 30+ games in...........our results in the standings will dictate, as to what type of deal eh....

 

[The Great Weal]

Main issue with Necas was going to be his contract. Canes lost a lot of forward depth and still didn't want to commit to him longterm, likely because of his demands. Now that he's having an excellent year and the cap is going up, he will be asking for even more.

I bet he is back week of Dec 16

Hage will likely be the better player anyway. This season is an aberration. Necas is a 70-75 pt player and if he puts up 90+ pys this season will be asking for a contract for that level.

That's my thought as well... Though I guess if Dubas could swing a deal for Malkin that brought back a U25 NHLer with realistic potential to take a step forward over next 2 seasons (Dach, Zegras types), that could be the type of deal they are looking for with Crosby signed 3 years.

But no to the 3 amigos. Letang's contrat is going to be deadweight soon and he's apparently struggling this year already.

Fair ... If taking on Letang was part the cost of grabbing Malkin &/or Crosby (rather than paying quality assets for him), I'd be ok with it... The cap hit isn't great if he declines further, but I suspect he'd look better playing 18-20min vs the 23min Pitt is leaning on him for.

can't see Letang coming here. plus all Pitts old guys will demand a ransom back

Richard Rakell may be the type of guy KH is looking at.
scores some and hits

I wouldn't pay any kind of premium for him, but his connection to KH, being from Montreal, and our need for vet RD support certainly make it feasible there could be mutual interest IF the price was right

he is old 37
I guess we see. we need grit on the 3rd line or even 2nd line

 

[Hannibal]

Can’t see a defence with Matheson, Hutson and Letang.

Too much of the same thing and too much defensive brain cramps.

[Benstheman]

Absolute NO to Letang.

Read, that some feel Dec 3rd is a possibility.

Hutson didn't really showcase any behavior of brain cramps so far in his career. At least not to the level of Mardeson.

There is way too many y PMDs on the Habs right now though.

We need solid defensive play and toughness on the backend.

 

[The Real Timo]

Sounds like E4.5.

What do we know about that Petterson fella?
