Ya cause the overseas guys know better what Hughes is doing

 

[Benstheman]

I do the deal with Harris not Barron. I couldn’t care less about Mesar. He will never play for the Habs.

 

[Guess]

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

Apparently also according to that article, Mesar was invited to the latest development camp and refused. I don't know if I buy this though, there were no European invites from previous drafts.

 

[The Great Weal]

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

If McGroarty might never make the NHL then Mesar might never make the AHL.

McGroarty is vastly better than Harris but I do understand why people would be hesitant to add him. He shouldn’t be a priority anyways.

Talk about an overpayment. Keep the problem child Winnipeg

I think it’s just a click-bait hockey30 “article” that someone just grabbed and translated in Slovak…

it’s gonna be a long summer…

That's debunked by what KH said at the start of dev camp. He confirmed it was the Habs who told them to stay home and continue their normal summer training.

What Demidov has proven ? Celebrini ?

He’s great prospect that dominate everywhere he went

So you think offering basically 3 first round level players and a 1st round pick is good for the 14th overall pick whose current team doesn't seem to think he is nhl ready is a smart move?

 

[Hannibal]

Lets f***ing do that deal. Lets go!

 

[BLONG7]

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

Good question.............he has caught many executives attention.

 

[Adriatic]

The hype for Mcgroarty is too funny. People willing to give up a bunch of assets for a 3rd liner at best.

I don’t considered Mesar as a 1st round value though far from it

Harris isn’t worth a 1st round pick

A FLA pick will be a late one

That trade offer never happened.

Feeling bad for Mesar

Any comments?

I think he will be better than that. A Holmstrom style net front guy which we could use.

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...

Nah.

 

[sampollock]

KH please use all these assets and pick's in away to bring scoring to the ch

That sounds like an offer an Hfboards member would make not a professional.

You are willing to pay alot for a guy making demands with his current team. Be careful what you wish for with this player.

Mesar is 20 y/o and a late first round pick. He probably needs 2 full AHL seasons before giving up on him. Undeniable skill and vision.

 

[le_sean]

That trade is an easy yes for me. Mesar is a nothing at this point and so is Barron.

 

[Habs]

LFG Kent, but nobody wants our shit prospect like Mesar bud, better throw in something else.

It actually is.

But is it really a lot? A probable late 1st round pick, plus two prospects who are, at best, worth 2nd round picks. It reminds me of the claims around here that the Habs overspent on acquiring Newhook with a very late 1st rounder and an early 2nd rounder.

The concerns about McGroarty's rumored demands, though, are indeed concerning.

Exactly…3 1st round assets is way too much for McGroarty…..

Barron OR Mesar plus another asset to me would be suffice enough to make it happen, that’s IF the Habs are interested.

That trade is an easy yes for me. Mesar is a nothing at this point and so is Barron.

I don’t believe they are nothing, they are just redundant and that we have the depth to trade them away without feeling any sort of pain.

Well................I'm kinda hoping it won't be a late one. No?

If, McGroarty wasn't such a douche! ie. if he was a player with some class & integrity, and we knew for sure that the Florida/Calgary pick would be a late one, then I do this trade. But HUGO are looking for character players, so McGroarty is on my DNT for list.

Here is a different perspective from a local Winnepeg writer. The article claims it is a disagreement over development paths, and Winnepeg’s recent mismanagement of young players’ development and promotion to the NHL:

"It's not a good look": Jets may lose top prospect McGroarty

A revelation on Saturday that the Winnipeg Jets are talking with other teams about trading Rutger McGroarty is shocking enough.
