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

[Habby4Life]

Beck and our first if +/- top 10 as a base for Andersson, yay or nay ?

No thanks

 

[Scintillating10]

Konyushkov or Barron, Kapanen or Mesar, CGY/FLA 1st, CLB 2nd.

That's if the team is confident in making the playoffs. Sid wouldn't join otherwise I think.

Edit: With a good roster player: Newhook + CGY/FLA 1st, Habs 2nd ?

Adding Crosby and Demidov next summer would be too much to be true. Can you imagine a line of Laine, Crosby and Demidov,?

I imagine Demidov would not cut it: Laine - Crosby - Slaf though that looks pretty big and sharp.

Draisatl's payday is well deserved.

So was Gallagher when he signed his contract. You should never give money to players for what they did.

the difference is Gallagher was a top 6 player had a mediocre playoff, signes long term at 29 years old. Drasaitl is an elite player and had awesome playoffs. Even is he is become medicore at 34/35years old, he will remain a kind of top 6 player ocerpaid, maybe not elite at that time but... Gallagher is a middle 6 at best. That expensive

So Pittsburgh should NOT have resigned Crosby to that lucrative deal a few years back ??

I mean there’s 1000 examples.

Your job as a GM is to predict if the player is capable of living up to his salary and for an older player at least 75% of his contract if you are contending.

Crosby is the ultimate vet and for once, we can afford it. Prospect&pick pool is deeeep and most can become trade bait as we push for it.

I think Crosby wants to leave Pittsburg once they rebuild. If so, Habs will be one a very selective list of potential destinations.

His childhood team is now well managed and on the verge of many cup runs. He must like what he see compare to Pittsburgh shootshow.

He's also the kind of guys who will take the Suzuki contract to fit the team culture. Our top 9 would be ... insane

Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Laine-Dach-Newhook
Roy-Crosby-Demidov

With Hage, Beck, Kapanen, Mesar, Heineman and many more waiting for their chance.

Kent will be crowded if this ever happens.

I don't know, never seen him play but Demidov most positive reviews I ever heard on a prospect. Imagine he can cut the mustard with Crosby.

 

[JianYang]

Exactly

In 92-93 Damhousse and Muller were considered vet.

Damphousse was 25
Muller was 27
Desjardins was 23
Schneider was 23
LeClair was 23
Roy was 27 (younger than Dvorak)

That whole defense was young. I don't include ramage because he wasn't a regular, jjd might have been the oldest guy and he wasn't even that old himself .

Desjardins, odelein, schneider, haller, brisebois were all puppies, but they all went on to play a a shit ton of games in this league aside from haller.

The one trait that they shared with our current defensive corps, is that they were mostly mobile.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Funny enough I'm left handed and shoot right.

It's your stronger hand that goes on the edge of the stick usually

Gallagher's contract was not well-deserved. It overpaid him relative to his impact and injury risk and the NMC was not appropriate whatsoever.

 

[vokiel]

He looks like Shane Wright after his draft, not quite physically mature yet. We'll have to be patient with him.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Blue Jackets are around $3M under the cap floor?

Yep, but they can sign whoever. There's plenty of UFAs left, like Patches.

After the Laine trade DW did say he was looking to take on a bad contract or two for assets. Now, with the passing of Johnny Hockey, the NHL might allow them to be under for this season given the recent events. It wasn't done purposely like the Coyotes...

 

[vokiel]

Cam Fowler for Mike Matheson?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

sorry but theres a huge difference between both players.... Drai is a top 3 player in the world

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Cam Fowler for Mike Matheson?

No thank you! I still prefer Anderson from the Flames

 

[vokiel]

For sure

CJB has a roster spot left, that ~$3m will not be a problem to fill.

 

[Miller Time]

Cam Fowler for Mike Matheson?

Why?

Trading for an older, more expensive and less effective player doesn't make much sense.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Cam Fowler for Mike Matheson?

Matheson >> Fowler. IMO Fowler does nothing well. If I am the Ducks GTM I would want to get rid of Fowler.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Cam Fowler for Mike Matheson?

If the Ducks add their 1st, sure

Exactly. I just speculate here. But. If Caufield starts to be less effective at 29 years old (the year he need to sign his next contract. Sometimes it better to leave him on the ufa market and gain cap space for another move. At one point, you cannot sign everyone and tou need make some tough choice
