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

[Boss Man Hughes]

Team needs to work on acquiring 3 veteran 4th liners that are stapled on that line imo, it's something we've been lacking for probably a decade

No they don't need to. They have Tuch, Xhekaj, Davidson etc to fill that or other roles. They don't need vets blocking them. A tough guy to add to the 4th line for a year or 2 would be good.

 

[Guy Larose]

I find the trade proposal thread somewhat entertaining and sometimes downright hilarious .Would just say that i am glad Hugo is running the show and not some members of HF Boards.

It was clearly a joke.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Might be caused by all the people all asking for skillz and the team ending up with nobody with the skillset for the 4th line...

More likely because no team in the NHL has a consistent 4th line and Montreal is more concerned with development than worrying about winning games.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Yeah it's because of how rare it is in today's cap era that the identity line for Isles was made such a big deal about it.

 

[Deus ex machina]

We don't need to unload Gallagher. Cap issues during his term left is not a problem at all and our cap frees up even more after this season. Potential cap issues comes when we have to extend Demidov, Hutson, Dach, Reinbacher etc.

Hutson and Dach will get pay raises in the 3rd year of Gallagher and Anderson's contracts. That might cause problems.
It will depend on a lot of things, mainly if they keep Laine and Matheson beyond their current contracts.

LOL i knew that . Some of the other deals offered that people are serious is what i was referring to

Exactly the type of player that we need? Nah, we believe in Justin Barron!

 

[Trembz]

Some players have a better agent than others ... or an agent who has some private pictures of GMs.

We need to find the Diddy/GM of the league and send him those pictures, then single handedly trade for his top F and top RD for a 2nd and Dvorak

On what planet would anyone prefer Barron to him?

 

[G0bias]

Would be wild if Hughes could somehow flip Mailloux+ for Jiricek.

 

[jrom]

Who's spot is Tuch taking next year? Or do you see Hugjes making a trade to create a spot for him?

Caufield- Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - Dach - Demidov
Gallagher - Newhook - Anderson
Heineman - Kapanen - Roy
Beck? Evans?

Even without Dvo and Armia we're looking pretty full.

As @MarkovsKnee suggested recently, Bech & Tuch will likely replace Armia & Dvorak

 

[Sterling Archer]

Outside of maaaaaaybe his family, no one in the world would believe Barron is worth more than Jiricek.

 

[FerrisRox]

Would you guys do Nick Robertson for Justin Barron?

Absolutely not.

I wouldn't take Nick Robertson on waivers.

 

[26Mats]

As @MarkovsKnee suggested recently, Bech & Tuch will likely replace Armia & Dvorak

Ok, but who's spots are Beck and Tuch taking: Heineman, Newhook, Roy, Kapanen, Evan's? Because if Becka and Tuch are in the top 12, 2 of those players aren't - even with Dvo and Armia gone.

 

[Deebs]

Really....Logan has shown some pretty good tools and is playing very well at the moment. Are there some other pieces we could work in there?

 

[morhilane]

From what I read today in this this (or the Mailloux's thread?), he's pretty similar to Mailloux (slightly different positives/negatives) but haven't shown much improvements these last two seasons.

The conclusion was that they are redundant and Habs are probably better off with Mailloux then Jiricek.

Holy f*** that twitter user is slow.

He said that shit on 32 thoughts on Monday.

And on another team willing to deal...

Putting aside recency bias, is Jiricek that much better then Mailloux?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I'm not doing that. Mailloux has a decent chance at becoming a better player than Jiricek.

go get this guy

 

[le_sean]

Exactly my point. But like ignoring a clear upgrade on Fabbro for free, I’m sure Hughes will pass on this too to preach "patience"

It won't. Dach will sign a contract similar to Guhle. Hutson will probably sign a contract around 7m.

Also Gally is one major injury from retiring to LTIR. Gally and Anderson contract won't be a problem.

Jiriceck is more talented than Mailloux
