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

[GrandmaCookie]

you got me there chief

Monty and Primeau are not #1 goalies

Monty has been a top 15 goaltender the past two seasons using xGA.

 

[BaseballCoach]

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.

One of Barron, Harris, RHP, Kidney, Trudeau, maybe Mesar.

Newhook? No way, no how.

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?

Sounds very good- for Nashville. Wouldn't trade Mailloux for Askarov, either.

When Monty puts up netter than a .903% save percentage let me know.

No it does not. We already have our goalies, and we're suffering RD prospects. So that's just a bad proposal. If you want a LD though, we got plenty to choose from, and we can ship you a goaltender in exchange.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

How about Mailloux?

You will get immensely disappointed for a goalie return. I heard that Nashville has been trying to trade him since last year draft.

So you don't understand that he's playing in front of a shit D and getting 40 shots a night, got it.

Save percentage is heavily influenced by team performance since a goaler playing in front of a defensively competent team will face way less high quality chance.

Therefore, the metrics to evaluate goalie is not SV%. Its xGA.

This one takes into account the number of saves relatives to the danger of the shot he faces. Therefore, it puts every goaltender on the same standard and team qualities then don't influence the numbers.

Monty is a top 15 goaltender in the NHL.

The argument you gave me remind me of those who were downplaying Slaf based on his liiga production.

 

[sampollock]

I think the trades will from KH will not be this year.

 

[therocket9]

So you understand....Lyon has a horrible D .904%......Ingram terrible D .907%....Daccord terrible D .916%....GOT IT.

 

[Demigod Gloves]

Since it seems to have worked for Demigod
lets try it one more time

 

[therocket9]

Nashville only has 4 d signed would try to trade one of Harris or Barron for Zachary L'Heurrux to get a good young physical player.

 

[HABitual Fan]

Crazy idea, but if Pittsburgh is out by the TDL and needing to retool, I would look into getting Malkin for the last 2 years of his contract.
Him on a 2nd line with Demidov to mentor him on the ice, while also sheltering him off the ice.

I worry about a 19 year old in this city with no Russians on the team to keep him out of potential trouble, and to ease his homesickness etc...

 

[tazsub3]

Then might as well bring back the kosty brothers as assistants responsible for social integration

Also Grabovski, just to be safe.

I do not think Demidov needs anyone. He is a smart kid and he can speak English. He does not come from Siberia, he played in Podolsk (close to Moscow) and St.Petersburg. He will survive just like Slaf did.

 

[1000eeer]

I think Mcgroarty's floor might be something like Rickard Rakell.

Good complementary piece for a second line.

Slaf- suzuki - Demidov
McGroarty - Dach - Caufield

It's a pretty darn good top6.

If Dach isn't able to stay healthy, Hage could come in if things pans out for him.

 

[Wats]

Would you guys trade Savard+Harris for Trouba+lottery protected 1st? Then maybe use that 1st to get Necas.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

With the Canes losing Skjei and Pesce, there must be a way to trade a surplus D like Harris to them, if the teams are still on speaking terms.

 

[absolute garbage]

Nashville adding Stamkos and Marchessault probably means they'll be looking to move some of the winger prospects they have in the system, which is quite a lot of them.

They could also really use some defensemen on the right side. Could be a good fit.

 

[sampollock]

Habs need Laine
Why not ?
Take a flyer
When is he able to be talked to

And a goalie

 

[McGees]

Well I got booted from the free agency thread for posting a link that Habs signed Rene Bourque lol. Sorry if people thought that is was real

Anyways, it seems Habs are after a trade as opposed to signing free Agents this summer.
Hoping for MCGRODDDYYY first on my list, then NECAS or LAINE as other hopeful options.

 

[Miller Time]

I was thinking moreso something like

Trouba & Kakko for Anderson & Harris

- Rangers want cap space this year and next. This opens up ~3.5M without losing roster player

- Trouba doesn't want to move, but if he does, perhaps staying in NE is an option he'd waive for

- Trouba lining up next to Hutson might be a good fit for us. Keeps X with Savard for another year. Pushes Barron to 7th spot until injury opens up room (or we use him as trade chip)

Gets us rid of Anderson while adding some physicality on the back end & benefit of giving Kakko a chance to reset...

Michkov signed with the Philadelphia Flayers today
