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

[HuGort]

I think only way Habs make a trade now is if somebody makes team they aren't expecting. A Kapanen beats out somebody. Or they make a move cap related once Price goes on LTIR.

who's close to the floor that can take Dvo?

Many players are UFAs and likely not returning: Armia, Dvorak, Savard, Pez, Evans, Connor Hughes, Gignac, Condotta. The Habs will attempt to sell them at the deadline. Trades will happen during the season. Gallagher and Anderson are also mentionned in trade talks.

Columbus
Ducks
Flames

But Dvorak has a 8 teams no trade list...

 

[HuGo Sham]

Maybe we can convince GM-whisperer Bergevin to hypnotize blake into trading for Dvorak

 

[Vachon23]

Someone will take Dvorak

Every contending team need depth on the Center, especially someone good on the faceoff

Dvorak 50% for Turcotte, '26 2nd (3rd if Dvo has a bad camp)

What do they have to give?

Not at the full $4.5M cap hit they won't.

 

[Vachon23]

Maybe not at full cap and I don’t think it’s the best moment to trade him (probably more at the TDL)

What do they have to give?

Nothing.. pick !

 

[HabzSauce]

I wonder if BOS would be interested in Dvo. Can see a good fit there

 

[vokiel]

So a 1st for Dvorak? They don't have any 2nd.

I bet they look somewhere else, this club looks ready to implode.

A match made in heaven.

Yeah. Can't use the retained spot for less than a 1st.

I could see Dirty Bruins taking Dvorak.

We haven't traded with the Bruins in how many seasons?

I had to research this. 3 trades in 60 years. 2 of them in the 60's and another one in 2001 for Patrick Traverse.

We don't have any real rivalry with them for the past decade. With Jeff Gorton and Hughes ties with the city I could see it happening.

We aren't necessarily looking to win this trade. Just offload the contract and make some space.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

if Kapanen push Dvorak

id legit give a 2nd to get rid of Dvorak with his full salary so we can keep our last retention on Savard or Armia.

We drafted many many times alread and still have many picks , we wont lose that much losing a single pick to get rid of scrubs

No time like the present for Molson to offer up Diekembe + Dvo to his board of governors confrere Jeremy Jacobs for money hungry holdout Swayman!!

 

[Rapala]

So what is Dvorak garnering at this point in time.

I'd trade him for a cup of coffee if we could. I don't care, just someone take him please.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to attach a 2nd to Anderson or Gally and try to move one of them?

Unless Dvorak is injured again, I doubt we'd have to add anything to move him, especially in-season and even less so if we retain

Seriously I would move Evans if it comes down to it I mean they are both going eventually anyways.
Kapanen can do what Evans does and more plus Jake Evans can be moved with no retention IMO.
We haven't even seen what Beck can do yet and we are ready to move a center. Good Times.

Why not just waive him instead of giving up a 2nd? It's his last year and the team probably won't make the playoffs, I don't see why we should be giving up picks/prospects to dump upcoming UFAs.

 

[HuGort]

Demidov will fit on that line next year. No need for Zegras at all. We need more size with skill, not Zegras types.

Hughes had strong interest in Zegras before I imagine because he works well with Caufield. They good friends also. But things would really have to fall apart for him to re-visit. The price is high. Unless both Laine and Dach suffer injuries this season. Hughes may have to shift gears on his plan. Could open the door backup. But I see about 10% chance.
