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

[Benstheman]

I think we trade for a RHD next summer.

Habs will give a chance to Barron to start the season unless he has horrible training camp.

Andersson would make more sense as an offseason move then TDL move

If you're are talking about next offseason, it'll probably be too late.
He'll most likely be traded before next trade deadline.
And the Habs need experience at D now, not in 5 months.

Not sure about that, it’s the kind of deal that happen surfing the offseason

And we already have Matheson and Savard

If 5 months is too late, why target Andersson at all?

Unless you think Montreal can contend.

Just to make you laugh today, here is Eck's rumoured trade that he just posted, its a e4 btw:

Perfetti, Nikolaj Ehlers and a pick to the Canadiens for Nick Suzuki

It's fan fiction not a rumour.

No, they went with Laine, Zegras would not be useful now, unless you want to get rid of Dach.

Should there be any bit of truth to that rumor nothing says HuGo don’t circle back - I don’t know where Verbeek stands wrt Zegras.

Nothing says you can’t have Zegras-Dach-Laine… not that I expect a deal

It's still only 2 out of 6-8.
What i meant was, they need another established top4 RD if they want to have a better shot at making the playoffs. Not just any older D.
I think that's the last glaring hole they have.

Montreal's proposed second line played less than 85 games COMBINED last season, they have no true top pair caliber D at the moment unless guys continue to develop, lack a P/GP player and were awful at scoring and defending last year. Plus goaltending with a clear ceiling.

I don't see how a top4 RD is the last glaring hole. I'd argue its not even the most glaring hole.

I think this may officially be the dumbest trade rumour I've ever heard in my 30+ years as a fan of the NHL. It legitimately doesn't make an ounce of anything even resembling a little bit of sence. For the Habs to trade their young captain right now, an incredibly important piece of our core and future, who has great chemistry with our two first line wingers...I'm baffled as to why anyone with even a little bit of common sense would post this "rumour" to their site or blog or whatever. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so f***ing stupid.

I thought we need to keep an open mind? Or is that only when we like the "rumour"?

Come on...
That one is clearly not credible at all.
Eklund has proven time and time again that he's making $hit up.
It's not even remotely comparable.

If someone tell you the earth is flat then you don't have to be open minded.

This is basically the earth is flat of rumour. Ehlers is older, never scored 30 goals, never did 70 points, is a winger, has worse playoffs stats. Unless Suzuki asked for a trade and Winipeg has a top 15 pick to compensate the downgrade it's not happening.
