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

[skidcells]

Why in hell Lou would trade him lol

I’d love Dobson but exactly this. Why would NYI do this? Even if rebuilding Dobson is an integral part of the team going forward.

Potentially only saving grace is if he doesn’t want to sign long term but even then they’ll bring it all the way to the last second before trading him which is like 2 years from now

The only thing that's show his how a good structured team can raise the play of a marginal player. Put him in Mtl right now and he would still be the same player he was when he played with us. If he was a LD, no one would talk about him because he's clearly not better than Matheson,Guhle,Hutson or Xhekaj.

For the most part I agree but I still contend he is better that Barron, Struble, and Savard. Obviously, they can easily find a RD during FA and I think they will. If you had to trade one of the D for him, those are the three I would chose.

Yup. He's a better RD than what we have now no doubt.

 

[Deus ex machina]

With 33 year old, 6 point Fowler getting a 2nd with 38.5% retained, have to think Matheson can get a 1st with 50% retained.

I'd do it. Give the left side to Guhle, Hutson, and Xhekaj, plus Struble. Then in the summer sign a vet RD like Rasmus Anderson (hard to do) or Brandon Montour. In hindsight, would have been nice to have signed Brandon Montour at 7M AAV and traded Matheson this past summer.

The 50% retention on Matheson alone is worth a high 2nd. So Matheson retained should fetch at least a mid 1st or similar value.

I'm torn because if this team had a better D core Math could be useful if he is slotted correctly. He isnt a top 1/2 but is forced to do it and it shows. On a better D squad I'd be more than ok with him as a 5/6. He is NHL caliber but by default being slotted incorrectly every night.

However, they don't have such guys so I think they have to move him. Unless, Hugo spends and restructures this D core big time in the summer.

2$ over 1 year ? A real crystal ball kind of person I see. Must be working for a bank on saving accounts. That's about what they yield.

The guy behind that account is supposedly a fireman. Sounds more like an arsonist.

Friedman says canucks ready to deal Vincent Desharnais. Tough big RD. Looking for draft picks. Any thoughts?

He sucks.

He's worse than Barron.

If I'm taking him on my team you're not getting jack and you're paying me

Ok then we have enough of those

Trade idea

To Buffalo: Kirby Dach, Alex Newhook and Justin Barron
To Montreal: Dylan Cozens, Jack Quinn

I don't think he's an upgrade over keeping Barron for the same contract length, and I'm not sure he'd be a necessary addition in Laval over Lindstrom.

Only way I would take him is in a Savard swap where we get a better pick than if we traded Savard alone.

Guys, this is huge. He’s on Herjavec’s private aircraft right now.

Is he bringing his dog with him ? This is very important.

Nobody wants him. It's a matter of what draft pick they would add to get rid of him. I want a 1st.

 

[Miller Time]

I'd have traded for Podz...
Im curious the internal discourse on Dvorak, Pez & Armia.

At this point, not sure why we'd hesitate to get best returns possible on them and take flyers on players like Podz, at low cost, to see about filling vacant roster spots for next year...

Why? Unlikely he would have made the team out of camp.

Good luck with that...

You're not getting a 1st for a player that makes only 2M, even if with 1.5 years left.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Cap dumps that came with picks > former 1st rounder reclamation projects that cost picks

Double down on what worked.

 

[Miller Time]

Debatable...
But I'd expect KH to move all of Dvorak, Armia & Pez before the deadline if they can... We'll need 1-2 bottom 6 wingers that are cap cheap options to finish out the year & possibly push for roster spots next season...

A 3rd (NJ's) might well have been a reasonable price to take a flyer on Podz for the rest of this year both to fill holes from trading Armia/Dvorak (& Evans if we aren't extending him) and with the intent of seeing if he's a good fit for bottom 6 spot next year

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Trocheck would be the perfect veteran 2C for us, if the Rags ever decide to blow it all up, he's very underrated IMO. He has a pretty big contract, but I'd be willing to live with it, he's super durable .

Yes but Trocheck is american and even this off season ehen his NMC clause ends he still has a 12 team no trade list......most realistic chance for Montreal to get a veteran center is Duchene or Gourde as UFA.

NYR likely to be moving Kreider and Zib before Trocheck IMO.
I know I would.

Podz was available in August, not now.
