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

[Sorinth]

Would you do Huberdeau for Newhook if we only pay 5/per for JH.

Newhook had a better PPG then Hubredeau last year, is more likely to see his points grow, and is cheaper.

 

[Habs7631]

Trevor Zegras, you are back on the menu.

 

[Garry Valk]

Kessel on a league min one year? There’s the Gorton connection…

 

[Beer and Chips]

How about someone who gives a damn rather than prima donnas.

 

[Hannibal]

Hughes better start doing something about adding more size, more bite and more toughness on that team.

Beside Xhekaj, nobody is standing for anybody. No identity on this team.

Get f***ing creative bald dude.

I feel that we dont need fighers, but we do need toughness

Veteran F Kessel open to PTO as he looks to continue career | TSN

Despite not playing at all last season, Phil Kessel is not ready to hang up his skates just yet. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports that Kessel is still looking to continue his NHL career and is open to taking a diminished role with a team.

Just pull the trigger and do it right now before another team wakes up and grabs him.

Kessel brings zero toughness, I'd go after Clutterbuck

Kessel is washed out. Leave the roster spot to Kapanen

 

[SwiftyHab]

Tuch and Florian with Pezz should be fine

Tuch and Florian are going to Laval given the latest cuts.

Seriously. Kessel is cooked.

You’re better off with Roy/Kapanen in that 2RW slot than him.

 

[Habby4Life]

Go get Zegras.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Let's just offer Pacioretty 100k more than what the Leafs offer him

 

[frapp10]

Let's just offer Pacioretty 100k more than what the Leafs offer him

My thoughts too but I think we’d need more then 100k extra for him to not go to a “contender”

 

[vokiel]

Let's just offer Pacioretty 100k more than what the Leafs offer him

So that he can stand pat and do nothing when his team mates are run over too?

No thanks.

 

[Sterling Archer]

This reminds me of when Montreal drafted McCarron after the Ottawa series. Adding a fighter doesn’t deter shit. Xhekaj, one of the premier heavy weights and n the league was in the lineup and it didn’t prevent it a 6’5”, big bodied player from getting injured. That’s not the answer.

 

[sampollock]

Need toughness
KH go get some

 

[expy]

I think he'd forgo the additional 100k just to avoid the headache of Montreal media, and the taxes.

Fighter are not the solution as you pointed out, but out bottom 6 need to play a more physical game. Fighting is not fun, but its over in less then 60 seconds, Being hit constantly for 60minutes, that is even less fun.

 

[HuGort]

Go get Zegras.

I imagine that ship has sailed.

 

[Habby4Life]

I imagine that ship has sailed.

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right.
Going to be a long year. I feel for NS carrying this team and not playing a meaningful game past mid November.

 

[HuGort]

Do we have to protect Laine? Another team won't claim if he is indeed injured long term. Most teams up against cap, only few interested when Colombus had Laine. You know he won't be claimed they have to pay him for 2 years only get 1 year service. Opens up a roster spot. Put Laine on LTIR once season starts.

This long standing and we'll established fact won't deter some from pining for moar fighters every time a player gets hurt, c'est la vie.
