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

[Vachon23]

What's next??

McGroarty?
Askarov?
Rasmus Andersson?

Only one who would make sense before the camp is Askarov

Yeah i agree. Next summer would be a better time to acquire Andersson cause we could extend him right away.

McGroarty.. I would still like to get him as his package of talent, grit and pysicality could do wonders on a 3rd line with Hage and Roy/Newhook.

 

[Tyson]

Too much options ahahah.

For me getting a guy like Andersson would be the most important move to do. We need a solid guy that can efficiently take 1st pair load on the right side while Reinbacher is developing. It would help him and Mailloux getting comfortable in the NHL. The guy is still fairly young and could play the veteran presence on the right when we contend. Somehow, i want to replace (directly or indirectly) Matheson with Andersson, for the reasons mentionned above and so we can also give Guhle is spot back on the left side. At that point, i think Calgary would take pics and prospects for Andersson, which we have alot.

If Nashville or Winnipeg has interest in Matheson, i would be ok with a trade around Matheson and one of Askarov or McGroarty. Like i said many times, i don't see a future for Matheson with the Habs so better get value for him this summer or next. But i agree with people saying Askarov and McGroarty are not must get players, they are more of cheery on the cake kinda trades. But i will say Askarov fits our contending window better than Fowler and McGroarty would be a great physical and grit add to a 3rd line of Hage and Newhook/Roy.


If he is not claimed, then he plays in the AHL. I reealy don't see Primeau as a problem right now.

Andersson I would like as well.

Is there any gritty fourth liner that could be available ? That's mostly what the Habs need now. This and a RD and Matheson to be moved out unless Lane isn't ready.

The only issue with Askarov is maybe, just maybe the Nashville management doesn't believe he is ready just yet.

Clutterbuck or Matt Martin.

Firmly in the RD camp, but it can wait I guess. They seem dead set on having Guhle on the right side again for the purpose of protecting Matheson.

Not the best use but it does give either Struble or Hutson a spot on the left. Next season though, critical to get a big time RD. We have the assets so I won’t care about the price… unless we go bonkers for Seider right away

 

[Mrb1p]

Clutterbuck or Matt Martin.

Matt Martin?

I should've added that can play a regular shift in the NHL. Both are well past their prime.

It's pretty much impossible to go bonkers for Seider now that we have Laine, salary wise. We'd need to move at least one of the anchor + Matheson. Hard ask.

Surprisingly solid, gritty 4th liners are not in abundance. Maybe Tuch and Xhekaj become those types of players.

Heineman could be the wild card too. I was mostly looking at the trade market.

Sign Cal Clutterbuck. I doubt we trade for a player, we are already kinda crowded

I actually have said this on a few occasions. He has the size and surprising grit to fill in on the 4th line. He is really strong on his skates.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Kinda wish the Habs got Olivier instead of the 2nd, but yeah, they still need another player who can defend themselves/the team.

Im guessign Olivier is somewhat of an "untouchable" value wise. Much higher to acquire than his on ice value.

I haven't followed him in the last year, can he even hold a shift anymore ?

Anyhow, I'd rather sign Blais. Bigger, younger, from here. I'm sure he'd get the extra kick to play for the Habs.

I also really like Blais , but he seems very injury prone.
Would be a perfect fit on the 4th line.

Pretty low risk with him, give him 1 year minimum and its done.

 

[Habs10Habs]

BRING ME MARTIN!! Wouldn't mind some Clutterbuck either.

 

[BoneHutson]

Matheson for Askarov and whatever cap. Who adds what?

 

[David Suzuki]

They'd have to add for sure, really don't think there's any point in doing this anyway. Only way we go for Askarov is in a buy low situation, not selling our best defenseman for him.

 

[junyab]

I want Askarov 100%. I think Fowler is still 3-4 years away and I believe Askarov is a level above Dobes. But either way I'd rather have 3 shots at a legit NHL starter than 2.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Are you serious? I guess it depends on what you mean by "around".

Like maybe Matheson for McGroanty, Ehlers and a first round pick?

Or Matheson and one of Anderson/Price/Gallagher for Askalot, a second and a first?

 

[BoneHutson]

Now that Johansen has terminated his contract, NAS has about 7m of cap space. What about something like:
Matheson + Anderson for Askarov + Fabbro? We ship fabbro to whatever team wants him for a pick. Part of Mathesons value is caught up in the Anderson dump. NAS bets on him returning to form and now has a top 3 Dcore in the league

And then we OS Tomasino with a deal similar to Holloway lol

 

[Saundies]

I want Askarov 100%. I think Fowler is still 3-4 years away and I believe Askarov is a level above Dobes. But either way I'd rather have 3 shots at a legit NHL starter than 2.

Same. Fowler extends into our window but he'll be a rookie where we're really starting to compete. He may have to ride back-up duty for a while before taking the reins.

I don't believe in Primeau or his ability to be a #1 or even a 1B. Dobes might be fine but he's still early on in his development.

This gives us some pedigree in the pipeline.
