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

[Leto]

In the mix means nothing. The red Smarties "were in the mix" nack in the 90ies. Those awful cheese stick in Meli-Mélo "are in the mix". Being "in the mix" could be anywhere between 22nd and 16th. This should have been called progression but got to sell something to the media.

Oddly specific, but relatable.

CC + Mesar + Gallagher (to Vancouver) for: E. Pettersson (plus cap dump to even it out)

cmon Hugo, make it work.

Laine-Petey-Dach after Christmas would look sick.

Next year:

Laine - Petey - Slaf
Demidov - Suzuki - Dach

Vancouver hangs up, unless I missed something.

Vancouver hangs up and blocks Hugo’s number.

Why did they expect to be "in the mix" if they expected their 2nd line center wil take half the season to get his bearings?

Because Michou said so.

If I were VAN I'd be trying to get out of that Petey contract ASAP. Looking brutal so far

You have a plethora of 1st round picks and prospects. You have to reward the young "vets" like Caufield and Suzuki with some help. Priority imo is to get a mature top-4 RD to stabilize that defense. Reinbacher is a few years away and Barron just doesnt cut it. Mailloux is still young.

Pay the price. It's going to be worth it just for the added motivation and to clearly state that management wants to actually start to win games. Exactly like they did when they got Laine.

You are missing that Petterson has been crap since half way through last season. No interest unless HuGo knows there was/is some sort of njury problem

There is no way to get a top 4 RD unless an MB clone sells them for less than they are worth. And again they aren't going to overpay to get another forward. They got Laine cheap and that may be it. They might trade a draft pick close to the trade deadline when they have a good idea where the pick will be.
