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

[Boss Man Hughes]

There's a mini-deadline happening because of the Christmas freeze? Weird.

It's not weird. The NHLPA should insist on it so players don't have to be making moving plans during the Christmas holidays

It’s a business and they are treated like puzzle pieces but during this time they should not have to worry about uprooting their life.

 

[Andrei79]

I think I had him over Hughes. Whoops.

It stinks in hindsight, but he was bigger, super skilled and had crazy production in Liiga from translatable plays. Just seemed like he peaked there and didn't improve much since, but he was a at least the clear 2nd OA.

 

[Vachon23]

And do what with Primeau? No place for hm if he passes through waivers. Need Dobes to return and they can waive Primeau and call up Hughes.

Trade him after he pass the waivers for futur consideration. Someone will take him as #3 G

 

[morhilane]

Desharnais? He plays less than Barron. A tank move for sure if that's it.

Desharnais is very much a cap dump for Vancouver.

 

[HuGort]

Rasmus Anderson is the guy I’d want and I would overpay to get him as long as he signs a long term extension.

What do you offer?

Pretty much but some teams (GM's) like HuGo do their best to treat their players well. Drury treats his players like turds on the sidewalk.

There is a trade freeze negotiated, not sure of the dates. It obviously doesn't kick in for another couple of days.
No worries, these dudes have money, and new team mates to help them out.......

The Holiday trade freeze actually start at midnight tonight until the 27th.

I don't see the need to burn the phone lines as Dreger is alluding if it's just for getting picks and a cap dump for Matheson.

They can make that trade after the freeze, before the TDL or even in the off-season.

 

[Deus ex machina]

I can see a fit with Matheson in VAN and Desharnais in MTL. Desharnais fills Savard’s role as a bottom pairing, defence-first, local character guy. He could also take some of the heat off Xhekaj where fighting is concerned. Matheson at %50 makes it an easy add cap-wise for VAN.

I’m not a big fan of Willander and I don’t see a good fit for Lekkerimaki. Build the deal around a 1st round pick + Desharnais and there could be something there.

I can see it too.
I don't know enough about Willander to have a strong opinion on him but i was under the impression he was a great prospect. Don't know if Vancouver are willing to trade him anyway.

Canucks 2025 1st look like it might end up top 20 so i think it'd be worth it.
They'd need to add though if MTL retains 50% and take on Desharnais.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I haven't been online at all today. I just saw Kakko was traded to Seattle.

 

[Habs Icing]

Kakko must’ve really been hated by that organization.

Habs perspective: meh. It could be KK breaks out in friendly circumstances but we can’t take every project and gamble, can we?

For a second I thought you were referring to our long-gone KK. Then I realized you meant Kakko.

 

[Deus ex machina]

I don't see the need to burn the phone lines as Dreger is alluding if it's just for getting picks and a cap dump for Matheson.

They can make that trade after the freeze, before the TDL or even in the off-season.

Unless the other team (or teams) wants to make it happen before the TDL. Then they'd have no choice but to be in it now.

Pay me a few million a year for playing a sport, you can make my life a shitshow, I'm good.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Drury wanted Borgen

Borgen isn't having a good year, though. He's also 28 versus KK being only 23. He's a 3rd pairing RD.

 

[Guy Larose]

The Holiday trade freeze actually start at midnight tonight until the 27th.

Tomorrow night

It starts at midnight ends midnight of 27th.

It’s the right thing to do. Salary doesn’t matter

 

[vokiel]

I don't see any logical reasons to want to execute this trade mid-game before the midnight freeze either.

If the GM is/was really working tirelessly on the phone lines, it must be for some other move.

Edit: That's just putting it gently for not calling Dreger a filthy liar anyway

With grumpy teenagers and a stay-at-home wife with a shopping addiction I’m actually paying for my life to be a shitshow so I have zero sympathy

 

[vokiel]

Barron is gone, finally.

 

[sampollock]

I am starting to feel
KH will use all his picks
So 2025 draft is our highlight for any excitement

 

[morhilane]

Isn't Carrier on IR? You can trade for players on IR?

But I guess that means Savard won't be extended.

I don't see the need to burn the phone lines as Dreger is alluding if it's just for getting picks and a cap dump for Matheson.

They can make that trade after the freeze, before the TDL or even in the off-season.

Vancouver GM wants help for his D corp now, not next season. But Matheson might be too old for what Alvin is aiming for anyhow.
