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

[BLONG7]

Just a few days ago, Pens media pundits said the team was looking into improving via trades and only Crosby was not on the available list. They moved Eller not long after.

For picks.............
I think they are toast with that aging lineup.

They are, unless some miracle happens real soon.

If the goal of this organization is to be in the mix and be more competitive, they need to get a 2C. Lots of focus on top 4RD, which I think is also an area of need, but one that can be address later. But Evans needs to get back into his 3C role and Dach is still far from being able to securing that spot.

I’d be interested to see where Jiricek was on the Habs’ draft board. If he was 2nd or 3rd behind Slaf, then I could see why they’d have a conversation about Reinbacher who is now 2 years behind because of his injury.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for either prospect. Both have had knee surgeries.

I was never high on Jiricek, so I wouldn’t bother, but I recall others here had him very high on their lists. What if HuGo has the same opinion?

Wouldn’t it be something if the Habs were somehow able to get their hands on Crosby for Dach + 1st… taking on full AAV

I will now wake up from dream state…

It would make a lot of money for Molson, but trading for Crosby is pretty much pointless. Signing him, sure.

Kris Letang, if the Habs trade for any of those 3 players is the likely one.

He should be cheaper and the pens are likely retaining if he's being shipped out.

He trains/practices with the Habs in Brossard pretty much every season.

He's from the area.

He's a right hand d.

He's a veteran and he's won 3 cups.

As much as he wants to win, I can see him rather being closer to "home" than going for it again.

Depending on how much the pens retain, he's not costing a lot to acquire.

That's if he wants to leave, which I imagine all 3 stay at this point.

Pointless? How so?

As in Crosby won’t waive?

Won't be resigning Evans....when u have Beck Kapanen and Davidson that can play the same role for way cheaper.

They want to really push for the playoffs next year, you don't do that with Beck Kapanen as the centers in the bottom 6 at this point in their careers.

Davidson has barely played center in the WHL, and none in the AHL.

What about this season? 3pts out…

I know Nemec was not high on Habs list.

Next year? 19 games in....................and Laine coming back soon.

Way too soon to mail it in yet, for me..................in the mix means just that.
We are trying to improve and win, no doubt in my mind.
