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

[LaP]

I would give up Barron + 2025 1st without blinking an eye

I'd definitely blink multiple times if the 1st is unconditional

Would need to be the worst of our 2025 picks.

The team still needs a 3rd Rd - - unless they want to keep playing Guhle on his wrong side.

You'd want a more defensive physical guy for 3RD, they can find one of those a variety of ways.

Get Gudas from the Ducks, might as well have the annoying SOB on our side for once

Xhekaj Gudas bottom pair hahaha

An ornery, nasty Dave Manson type to pair with Arber. Someone who will both really annoy and frustrate the other team's forwards. One can dream...

The team has Matheson, Guhle, Xhekaj, Hutson, Struble and Engstrom as LHDs.
At least one of them will have to play on the right side.
Unless Matheson is traded, i don't see Guhle leaving the right side anytime soon.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Doesn't Letang play right?

The 3rd RD aint a problem this can easily be solved with a trade. Let's be honest Barron ain't a 3rd pairing guy he will either be top 4 or bust or be a Erik Gustafsson, Grossebière, Del Zotto type of dman. We have 3 young dmen who could become top 4 Reinbacher, Mailloux and Barron. One of them will eventually either bust or be traded and we will acquire a vet RHD like Savard but younger for the 3rd pairing.

Askarov is probably something we should look into, but until Dach establishes himself, I think we should keep our powder dry. We might need a top 6 center in the near future.

 

[Deus ex machina]

We'll take Letang if he agrees with Hughes to go on LTIR after 2 seasons and he brings Crosby with him.

Hasn't Engstrom primarily played on the right side in Europe?

Let’s see what the penguins gave up.

 

[Nicko999]

Maybe Pittsburgh's 1st would need to be in play I believe. Which is why Hughes did not pay that price.

It’s also McGroarty being more of the same with the Habs. He doesn’t really move the needle, you just hope he does. Laine actually brings proven production which excites the guys in the room

The first part is interesting, too

Kudos to Chevy, he always sticks to his guns and frequently makes the best out of a bad situation.

 

[sampollock]

You just be around it.. Hughes is smart, he's not gonna sell the farm for Askarov.. but if there's an opportunity to turn someone like Barron and excess of picks into Askarov, you might as well do it. Barron will be supplanted quickly by Mailloux and Reinbacher.

Anderson on the the 3rd line
He will pout now

Askarov is probably something we should look into, but until Dach establishes himself, I think we should keep our powder dry. We might need a top 6 center in the near future.

Yup
But they will want a kings random

Figs should give the farm for him

If they ever fire him in Winnipeg I think they'll regret it. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked up by a big US team or a tax free team and makes them a contender. He's always playing with two strikes against him and somehow keeps churning out competitive teams. His drafting/development before the team was competitive was tops in the league as well.

[JoelWarlord]

So our approximate equivalent would probably have been Hage + 2nd.
