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

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

I saw that info on my Google Overseas News app, trending with the elections in France.

Edit: Seems like an overpay imo, the equivalent of 3 late 1sts.

Too much, no way. I rather keep Mesar, Barron and that first for a quality top 6 forward.

That’s what Mcgroarty will be

Mesar at this point, I don’t really have any hope

Barron/Harris are 3rd pairing

And the 1st will probably be the panthers one (a late one)

I would do that deal, we need quality not quantity

 

[The Great Weal]

Mesar/FLA 1st/Barron is definitely not too much for a prospect of McGroarty's caliber lol. The supposed attitude issues are what's making me hesitate to trade for him, not the value of this package.

Edit: Seems like an overpay imo, the equivalent of 3 late 1sts.

If Barron and Mesar could have been traded for late 1sts, Hughes would have done it. Mesar likely has 2nd round pick value but Barron is essentially worthless. No team is giving up a 1st for a guy who couldn't crack the worst RD in the NHL while needing waivers this upcoming season.

The verdict is out, HuGo lost this trade. Hage, though has some potential.

It's a potential first, an expandable LD and an underwhelming prospect

Not an overpay if they like the guy

Well if Harris is expandable, his value is just going to go up as all anyone around here sees him for is his size.

Where’s the blow hole?

Wouldn't Mesar become their best prospect?

I only just learned of this feature of his…

 

[Tyson]

I am not convinced that Macgroarty is better than Owen Beck. Too early to tell.

He is in my books, way more offensive tools

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He is in my books, way more offensive tools

I think he is too slow for the Habs

 

[BLONG7]

At some point, we need to do something like this...............quality yes. And quantity going the other way.
Dealing with CBJ and Laine, bite the bullet and get someone like this...............it will have to involve some pain to get a quality scorer for up front to add, to our group.
Mcgroarty fits in better with the group as in age, but Laine has done it already so.....................get more scoring and use other assets.

 

[Vachon23]

You need a mix of everything

We need someone like him strong a long the board and around the net with a good IQ hockey

What exactly has Mcgroarty proven? I am sincerely trying to figure the hype.

 

[Heffyhoof]

This McGroaty stuff is unreal. It's utterly hilarious to watch certain posters fall 100% in line with whatever the new flavour of the month is every time.

What Demidov has proven ? Celebrini ?

He’s great prospect that dominate everywhere he went

Yes it is too much.

Harris one on one is the fair price...might add a lower pick as a sweetener.

McGroarty might never be in NHL and even if he does, he doesn't have 1st line upside so at best he will be a middle-6 winger which means his value is lower than Newhook for example (Cause Newhook proved he can play in the NHL and can play center). Harris is a D so just in terms of positional value, he's higher than McGroarty

i don't doubt that things soured between McGroarty and the Jets due to a certain level of entitlement but i think all the extra noise that's come out in the past few weeks is just small market media garbage you see whenever players seem to be on their way out. i'd still take him.

and i'm sure if there would be 3 pieces going to the Jets, like that Slovak rumour suggests, there probably would be another contract coming back on top of McGroarty's.

Have you even seen him play

Might also be a bit of an attempt to soften the market / lower the ask for him from one of the teams still trying to land him.

Hasn't even played a game and already demanding PP time? Yuk. That turns me off I won't lie, he's starting to give me PLD vibes...

Justin Barron finished 2nd in goals amongst Dmen on the Habs last year…in 48 games.

I get the shine has kinda worn off the last year or so. But I wouldn’t be so quick to write him off just yet.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

I would part with Harris, a late first, and Mesar without hesitation. The former is a solid but unspectacular bottom-pairing defenseman, the late first has limited value, and I doubt Mesar's prospects for playing meaningful games in the NHL. Done.
