[Ozmodiar]

A Newhook - Dach - Laine combination behind Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky looks like it would be good on paper.

I was just going off the trade rumour that was posted earlier in the thread

 

[jellybeans]

Would you do that trade:

(MTL) Matheson (50% retained) for (NSH) Askarov + Lauzon + 2026 1st round pick.

Or something like that...

Do you drink a lot.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Habs can again weaponize cap space. They need $4M to fill out the roster With wifi , Barron and a forward. It they trade a player and retain they can add a couple million. A few teams have cap issues. Would oilers have us take on Ceci? any other opportunities ?

this is not a thread hijack!

I like the idea, but wouldn't Ceci just get in the way of an already crowded D, and just impede progress of say a Harris, Barron, or even Hutson?

Wouldn't these kind of moves make more sense at the TDL?

Here's an idea, would you trade Reinbacher for Byfield? Tough trade but I think I would pull the trigger.

Can you imagine this forward lineup??

Byfield-Dach-Demidov
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovski
Newhook-Hage-Roy
Tuch-Beck-Xhekaj

Would just need another top pairing RD.

No because I haven't even seen what Reinbacher looks like in the NHL yet. Think it's way too soon to move on a dman with the characteristics he has.

Fairly confident we'll see him get some games in the NHL at some point next season. Nemec, Jiricek, Korchinski, and Mintuykov were all top 10 picks in the 2022 draft and all played 45+ games last season.

 

[HabzSauce]

I dont get the obsession with Askarov. Ok, he's a very good prospect, but MTL needs are not in goal. Assets would be better used to aquire top 6 talent or physical RD

Not a huge fan of askarov. Id rather our goalies and save the assets to target forwards

You can just OS him and keep Reiny

 

[HabzSauce]

COL 2025 1st already belongs to the Flyers if I am not mistaken.

Perfect, should be fairly easy to snipe from Briere

Any of our dead weight should get it done. Gotta make torts happy

Yes but the Preds wouldn't

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I don't think Laine gets traded until he gets out of the assistance program. Teams can't talk to him while he's in the program, and if you're going to acquire Laine, you want to make sure he's going to want to play for your team.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Don't talk about it????lol.....You are the one making up crap and you rightfully got called out on it

So what you are really saying/asking is that you want to make ridiculous claims on a public message board and not be questioned for doing so. You claim that the entire management team and Suzuki want Laine without a shred of evidence and nobody should challenge you on that.....you are basically cheating at solitaire lol.

Nah, It's just cheap talk surrounding us possibly trading for Laine and you are going all crazy with it.

Next year, Suzuki will be starting his D+9.

Dach will be starting his D+7, all in the NHL.

Matheson will probably be there too.

Suzuki is a good leader for a young player. Dach has to play games and he's not on Suzuki's level yet.
Matheson doesn't provide leadership like Gallagher and Savard but he can help a bit I guess.

oh yeah? who? Armia, Dvo, Anderson or Gallagher? Maybe Evans can get you a 4th tops and Pez, well.... Also, I do believe RHP will be a lock for the bottom 6 for a long time.

Winnipeg is in trouble. They lost every player they were after. They are in still in win mode. Help them out and take Mcgroot in return.

Camsn Kent, wake up

They need a LD too. Matheson vs Mcgroarty could be decent.

 

[Benstheman]

Guys Reinbacher is going nowhere. They see him as their no.1-2 D in the near future. You don't trade those players, ever.

 

[1000eeer]

I mean Vegas got Holtz for a third round pick.

You never know...

Guhle, DR and Hutson are core players. They're here to stay at least until 2028.

When he was drafted skating was noted as an issue in scouting reports that I saw, how is his skating now ?

 

[Benstheman]

Yep. ideal scenario would be to get a top 4 RHD already in his prime to stabilize the D. If Kent can somehow switch Matheson for an equivalent,but more defensively sounded RHD, it would be great.

The challenge if you trade for Askarov is what do you send? Are we sending Primeau in the trade package? If not, you end up with Monty, Askarov, Primeau. I guess Askarov is still waivers exempt this year?

Habs want to compete so they likely keep Monty. A better plan would be to flip Monty and ride with Primeau/Askarov over the next 2/3 years while we get more top 5 or top 10 picks because the D is also still young and I doubt our team D can turn the needle that quickly.

Not sure how good Askarov will be. Price to acquire will be high due to pedigree. I really like how Primeau looked last year.... in NHL games.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Not for us. We would want Ehlers' expiring contract, too, if we can extend him.

 

[Mrb1p]

Dobson is the dream but a guy like Lesce, Marino could have worked really well. Next year there's Ekblad and Larsson that have expiring contracts.

Not for us. We would want Ehlers' expiring contract, too, if we can extend him.

I don't believe Matheson owns that much value.

 

[Kosseca]

they need RD, not LD. That is why so many are trying to send Barron to them in a deal for McGroaty. Some even suggesting Mailloux.
