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

[jellybeans]

Even if Nashville accepted Jordan Harris or Justin Barron or Filip Mesar, what would Montreal do with a third goalie?

I think he would become our #1 and Montembeault would be eventually the back up and Primeay would be traded or in Laval.

That is far from certain. He has been unable to dislodge Nashville goalies with a .906 and .908 SVP.

In Montreal, the two netminders had .903 and .910 last year.

Sounds like using up assets to exchange 4 quarters for a dollar between the pipes.
As for the Nashville fan who asked for Reinbacher ..... I have no words.

 

[Gravity]

I'm not a fan of trading Mailloux, I think he'll bloom this year.

 

[yianik]

I think we can safely say that when dealing with Pat Verbeek he will likely undervalue ability to some extent and put more value on size and physicality. So if we want Zegras I think no question Guhle does it 1 for 1 and possibly Xheraj. Personally I don't make either of these trades.

We need to add a sniper to pair with Dach. Laine would be a great addition and wouldnt cost too much. With 2 years left on his contract, its not a risky move. If it pans out and he reclaim his level of play pre injury, we could resign him and we would be set on our top 6 with Demidov.

I would offer the calgary/florida pick and one of our LD Struble or Harris and maybe add a B prospect like Farrell.

Caufield-Suz-Slaf
Laine-Dach-Demidov

How about Mailloux?

I think that’s a fair offer. But the uncertainty surrounding him makes me lean more towards Struble, Harris, Barron.

We need a good goalie prospect in our pipeline and Askarov is an interesting piece.

We have Fowler in our pipeline and so far he looks promising. Not interested in paying assets to acquire Askarov. Especially not a big, young promising RD like Mailloux

 

[morhilane]

Can tomorrow come any faster, so we know which teams have holes they couldn't fill via UFA that might be option for Habs players we don't want to keep long term.

I'm hoping to see Dvorak moved for example. Can't have him sit out most of the season again or injured at the deadline so we can't trade him.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Why? Primeau has a lot of upside still!

If the Habs were to acquire Askarov, they could afford to give up Primeau. A trade based around Harris, Barron or Mesar for Askarov (which is what I was responding to) would heavily favor the Habs, even with Primeau thrown in. Of course, Nashville would never go for such a deal.

Conversely, I would never consider dealing Reinbacher, Guhle or Mailloux for Askarov.

 

[McGees]

Askarov has way higher potential than our goalies...and I'd trade either ++ for him...
But it is not really a current problem we need to solve...goaltending is sufficient for now.

Hello Habs fans,

With the recent news of Askarov being potentially available, I could see Montreal being interested in him.

Trotz has stated that the price is either a legit, young-ish NHL'er or an equivalent prospect that's not a goalie.

What do you think a fair trade would look like between the Preds and the Habs? Does Reinbacher one-for-one for Askarov sound good?

Is this a troll post based on all the continuously horrible trade offers a portion of embarrassing Habs fans are making on the main boards?

I don’t think the Habs have anything you’d like that they want to part with for him. He’s a great goalie prospect but not for a recent 5th overall pick.

 

[Expos94]

For a goalie ? No way.

He s considered by many to be the best player outside the nhl.. you're not getting him for a B prospect plus a 2nd.

 

[RationalExpectations]

He has never played a game in the NHL. Ullmark Markstrom have gotten a late 1st +. You are not getting more for askarov. That s far from Guhle / Reinbacher value

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

But that’s the Habs fan specialty.

“Harris sux! I’ll trade him for your best prospect though.”

He has never played a game in the NHL.

You never watched the game he played against the Habs?

Sorry 3 games in 2 years, how does it command a great return ?

Why you asking me? I didn’t engage that part of your post.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Chevy will accept the best deal. I would entertain any combination of Barron, Harris, CGY 1st, Newhook, Matheson, Mesar, Kappanen

Or if that's not a good fit, we do same as we did with Dach trade - involve 3rd team and get the assets they want with above assets.

If Winnipeg, in win-now mode, wants a 60 point D with 2 years at $4.875M, capable of playing 24-25 minutes per night, I would require their 2025 first, plus McGroarty and a 2026 second.

Chevy would fax over a picture of his naked ass if Hughes made that offer.

... But not before making sure it's been a few weeks since he shaved it (if he's into that of course)

They learned us in finishin skool that instead of saying "who gives a phuq", we should say, "Isn't that nice?"

They also learned us that instead of saying "you're full of shit", we can also ssy "Isn't that nice?"

So, after reading your argument........... isn't that nice?

We do have needs but one of them is not a goalie whose SVP is similar to Primeau's.

 

[BaseballCoach]

No, no, no, you really don't get it. Hughes is surely not offering Matheson for a college kid. If Chevy wants Matheson to help his immediate needs, and asks for him, that is the price I would require.

That's how it works when a team wants a scarce 50-60 point workhorse D on a good contract. They pay.

 

[Deus ex machina]

Mike Matheson has a M-NTC.
Who here thinks that Winnipeg is not on his 8 team No Trade List?

 

[BaseballCoach]

Cheese is Price, I'm not trying to 'get' Askarov. It sound like someone wants to unload him and dictate terms at the same time.

P:ass.

For me, the downgrade from Xhekaj to Struble is minimal. It is much, much less than the upgrade from Pezzetta or whoever is our worst forward, to Zegras.

Monty and Primeau are not #1 goalies Askarov has a chance to be that....Nashville has only 4 d men and 10 forwards signed they would want defense and forwards who can step in now like ...Barron Harris Newhook.
