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

[Garnet76]

It's clear to me the Habs are moving out of the first phase of the rebuild. It's not about collecting as many assests as possible anymore. It's about quality over quantity and starting to fill holes you see in the line up in the next 1-2 years with players who match the age group. They are still a couple years away from the playoffs I think but it's time to starting moving in that direction. I don't see them re-cycling the re-build core pieces
or making deals for more picks.

I agree. Usually a rebuild takes between 5-7 seasons. But we started with Caufield/Suzuki/Guhle already here, so that helps fast forward it. Plus the Dach acquisition helped us also.

The next two seasons, we will probably not do the playoffs, but chances we draft top5 are low. Probably between 7-10 next season and between 10-15 the one after. Yes you can draft a good player around 10ov, but chances are higher to pick a bust.

So we really need to draft the best player available that will help us long term. It can be a number one dman or a top forward. But that player must be a sure thing. We cant miss.

100% agreed.

Just trade for Rutger already, ffs. We have all the assets in the world to make it work. And Rutger is a need.

Draft Demidov/Lindstrom and trade Mailloux for Rutger.

Our top 9 is set for the next competing window.

Slaf-Suzuki-Demidov/Lindstrom
McGroarty-Dach-Caufield
Newhook-Beck/Kapanen-Roy

Would need a last piece on RHD. Would like to get a young veteran top 4 (25-28yo) that can eats big minutes while Reinbacher is developping on the 2nd pair. We have nieces pieces to make it work : Matheson, Winnipeg's 1st, 2 X 1st rounder next draft. Just need to find the good dancing partner.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

wouldn't mind wasting a 2nd pick + something else to get rid of Anderson and make place to a kid. I don't think we need that many players in 4 years of drafting

 

[sampollock]

Love Fowler, but I want Askarov

agreed make the deal KH

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'd definitely like to see us give our bottom 6 a bit more of an actual identity. At the very least, I want one proper energy/checking line.

I think we have 2/3 of our 3tlrd line already. Beck and Newhook would be great together if Dach can stay healthy.

 

[sampollock]

Jets will want there pick back. Phone Chevy and get Rutger
or
If jets out, phone Nash make a deal for that young Russian goalie

 

[Hannibal]

I dont want Necas whatsoever.

nope weak dude
Rutger will give us more

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Imagine wasting your chances on Demidov, Lindstrom or a potential 1D for f***ing Farabee, 12OV and another top 10 protected pick.

We tank all f***ing year for this type of opportunity. We should not waste it for this type of quantity package without any gamebreaking asset.

I’d much rather trade up from our lower first than trade down from our higher one. And I’d push hard to get to 10th.

I’m pretty sure SJ traded up to 11 to get Eiserman. Very good chance they walk away with the two best players in this draft.

Yes, I’m fine with getting a safer pick at five. It makes sense. But Eiserman’s upside is crazy good.

If that's all it cost he'd be gone.

He's got 3 years left so you're looking st a 1st and a good prospect and that's likely low.

On 32 thoughts they speculate that that's why San Jose traded up.

 

[Richiebottles]

Guys, we are all aware that Rutger hasn't played a single NHL game, right?

yes... but neither has alot of prospects . let's try him out

Yep, but he’s the flavor of the month here which makes him massively overvalued.

I was thinking about that this morning, Calgary is definitely going towards a rebuild, sending them Gallagher, 2 2nd rounders over the next 2 years and mid level prospect might work. He gets closer to home as well!! We clean up 6.5 over the next 3 seasons

 

[sampollock]

and he wants a trade. so that does help drive the interest

 

[ohiohabsfan29]

Right. And people on this board tend to want to see trades just for the sake of wanting to see trades, so it’s a perfect match, whether it actually improves the team or not. Except I like trades that actually help the team.

 

[salbutera]

Saros extended. Really not sure what Nashville is doing, can’t commit to a direction. Also not sure how Askarov will get a chance as the starter anytime soon.

Seema pretty clear to me, they need playoff revenue for consortium survival. They’re retooling on the fly w goal to make the playoffs.

How does this guy not make sense? he skating??

 

[ML16]

IMO, one thing is sure, we will move one dman during this weekend :

Guhle - Savard
Xhekaj - Matheson
Harris - Kovacevic
Hutson - Reinbacher
Barron - Mailloux
Struble - Engstrom

Even if some could start in the AHL, I think what they want to do is give some of our young players opportunities. And with all of those under contracts you need to do something. Maybe it will be underwhelming like trading Kovacevic or Harris but they'll probably do something.

As it stands, the two most worthwhile options I see for this weekend are:

If Demidov is drafted before the Habs pick, draft Buium and package Matheson to leverage another 1st round pick in the teens ;

Or draft Demidov and package #26 and one of Barron/Struble/Harris to climb up the draft ladder - or fetch McGroarty.

He, like many players makes sense at a price that makes sense. But the idea of giving up multiple firsts and Beck and more is just silly. I’d rather have Beck let alone giving up multiple firsts and Beck for this guy just because he’s today’s shiny new toy.
