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

[sampollock]

There is not much that can help us from the Pens in a Dach trade, unless Letang's name comes up again and that the Penguins are willing to retain 50%. He could be use full for the younger players especially like Hutson and we would cash in from moving Savard

i dont want old man Letang.

Heck, I'll throw in the shipping for free .

And no need for an Amazon Prime account. You get your order the next day.

Dvorak/Evans are UFA, Dach is the only other NHL center who can pay the position somewhat on the roster.

Next season is going to be so disgusting.

There is a thing called summer with trades and free agency.

I’m all for Kakko, but I’m a sucker for hidden potential (probably none left, but still). He can be a solid 3RW on a defensive line. Board play and cycle for days. Could be a younger (less variable un effort i Hope) Armia (shit a lot on him, but he’s pretty sick on the pk for now)

UFA will not be the end result for the habs
trading yes

agreed. Depending on the price off course. Also, what are his demands contractually because i think he will ask for a long-term deal.

Man I wish I had his job:

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger appeared on TSN Radio Friday morning to discuss the path Hughes would take heading toward the March 7 trade deadline.


“Kent Hughes is listening to just about anything that would help the Canadiens. As we know, it's more about the future,” Dreger said. “You look at the players you mentioned and you think 'How would they fit in long-term?' Then you balance that with what the market is presenting and what might be offered for one of those players.

I think he would ask for bridge deal. He basically proved be can be 3rd line 40 points guy. If he gets more icetime, he could be 2nd liner on weeker team and cash out after couple years.

 

[Habs Icing]

Crosby for Dach, Habs 2026's 1st and Mailloux

Why? Do you think Crosby will still be around if/when the Habs are ready "to be in the mix"? That's a horrible trade.

Surprise! Kent Hughes doesn't have anyone calling him for trade talk.

good old Darren. he has his finger on the pulse of the nation.

 

[McGees]

Dach for Malkin - who does it?

No chance lol

The ship has sailed on Kakko

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

I think if Crosby accepts a trade, he does for the Penguin s organization to start the rebuild properly. And following this premiss, i doubt he handcuffs them by saying there is only 1 team he wants to be traded. IMO, he will give them 2-3 teams to at least imply some sort of betting war.

will see what happens but i think its either he stays or going to Colorado to reunite with Mack

Quite a few C and some RD will be available. If Hughes can use his agents skills and get one on a good deal, he should.

I do think a trade is more probable though.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Neither team is in a position to make any significant purchases, what a weird take.

I'm glad you're still holding onto hope.

 

[Kosseca]

Dach for Malkin - who does it?

Dach, I dont do, Newhook, I would.

 

[vokiel]

I'm glad you're still holding onto hope.

Friedman seems to be the one holding onto it. He needs better than Tomasino for a 4th to break eh.

 

[Egresch]

Pionk Ekblad, Kovy, Perbix or Jokiharju are the only interesting names for RHD. Some of them will get extension and others will ask for crazy term. We need to trade for RHD if we want one.

 

[vokiel]

Lets get Gudbranson! Perfect for the tank!

That is an art: say nothing and fill some air time. He’s got a PhD in that field.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Maybe

David Jiricek for Kaapo Kakko?
Joshua Roy for David Jiricek?
Joshua Roy for Kaapo Kakko?

Hughes would be one hell of a GM if he trades Roy to Columbus for Jiricek and to Rangers for Kakko at the same time. One player to two different teams.

 

[Goalfield13]

What's the scouting report on Harrison Brunicke on the Pens?
