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

[Bombshell11]

I'd easily swap a couple lower end a prospects for Jiricek. Like Mesar and Mailloux.

What happend to Kulich?

For Jiricek i would swap Reinbacker easely

MacEwen is on waivers.

He's an upgrade on Pezzetta who hasn't played in like a month, or once in a month.

It's more of a new look player than anything

He can compare Ottawa and Montreal and see which one is more f***ed

i think this would be one of those trades that haunts us.. Rainman has the it factor, but, inujuries? thing is D men take years to develop and some can stay in the league well into their 30s.. Jiricek must have a few warts for CLB to be so down on him.. I def want to give him a try, but only at the possibility of adding a RHD - not swapping. IF that is the req then i think Mailloux would be the one.

Columbus will want a 1 for 1 trade.

The Hab's have Beck, Kapanen, and Hage. They have a surplus on non 1st line center prospects.

Hage has the highest ceiling you'd want to keep, and Kapanen alone wouldn't seal the deal.

So that leaves Beck.

Would the Hab's be willing to trade Beck for Jiricek? Hard to tell.

Managing to Keep Reinbacher, Mail, and adding Jiricek would mean there wouldn't be a need for the Habs to look at Defense at the draft and allow them to focus solely on drafting a C or Winger with their two 1st round picks.

my 2 cents anyway.

I would do it as a Habs fan but I doubt it would be enough.

I simply don’t see CBS accepting Beck for Jiricek

When are you going to admit that you're a Habs fan? Few people hate the Habs as much as Habs fans, you'll fit in great!

I don't think Habs are interested in moving Beck. We're in a precarious situation when it comes to centers and sorely lacking guys that bring a good mix of skill, grit, and defensive ability in our lineup AND in our prospect pool. Additionally, the difference between Jiricek and Mailloux is minimal. Similar age, similar skillset, similar weaknesses, and I'm not sure if we'd be any more keen to play him in the NHL than Columbus. Leaves us with Reinbacher, Barron, Jiricek, and Mailloux all fighting for a spot in the NHL next year. Doesn't make sense.

So if you're looking for a Habs deal, maybe a deal around Mailloux for Jiricek if MTL management felt it was a significant upgrade, but I think it's unlikely.

I certainly hope not. Barron + a pick for Jiricek would be enough.
