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

[Deus ex machina]

I'm sure they'd make it work.. they can waive Pezzetta and rotate Dvorak/Evans/Kapanen for a bit.

Yes, i agree.
I'd be very surprised if they waived Dvorak, even if it's a better solution than giving up assets to send him away.

 

[Vachon23]

Keep Kapanen as 13th forward, injuries will quickly happen and they will have a spot for him

 

[LaP]

I'm sure if they said Dvorak was available, a few teams would kick a mid-round pick our way.

It only is an issue if Hughes wants to squeeze the true value out of Dvorak.

Cap hit would be a problem before the deadline.

Cap went up and there's plenty of teams like San Jose, Chicago, Columbus who would take the veritable NHL forward for cheap.

Pezz needs to go down

No reason for Chicago or SJ to want him unless he comes with a 1st or 2nd round pick. Columbus, maybe, for next to nothing.

Chicago and San Jose are trying to create a roster that isn't so f***ing atrocious that Bedard and Celebrini are spending an hour after each game staring at a dark pit of despair.

Dvorak would give both teams a useful veteran player that helps them in the smaller details of the game and might result in more than 10 wins on a season.

Kapanen can play wings until we trade Dvorak or Evans.

HuGo may want to see how Dach is responding and if hes is ok healthy wise before making a move at center.

Where is kap going to play wing? There is one spot. For Roy I guess. This camp is all about roy vs kap. Roy better step up. He should not be gifted a spot.

We can give them Anderson too!

It makes absolutely no sense to give up assets or waste a retention spot to get rid of Dvorak at this point. Habs don't have cap space issues.
If they want to make a roster spot for Kapanen, they can just waive Dvorak and send him to Laval, like they did with Armia last season.

They can always send Roy to Laval to start the season until there's an injury. It'll probably not be fair for him but he'll survive.
Might be a better solution to keep their depth at center.

Agreed. Roy has to kill it this camp or he will go down while kap stays.

I wish but that's one you have to pay because there's term attached.

 

[morhilane]

People are acting like Kapanen is the only one who might make the roster...

I wish but that's one you have to pay because there's term attached.

People usually like free stuff, but not hockey GMs.

 

[bsl]

The habs want to make the playoffs, they aren't going to get rid of their depth. We can have all of Kapanen, Dvorak, and Evans on the roster.

Uh no we cant if healthy. A decision will have to be made if kap forces the issue.
