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

[vokiel]

no claims

It would have been surprising otherwise. The beginning of the season is when waivers have the more chances of clearing, with all the rosters full.

LOL
I hope they are in tank mode by week two so we can take a serious shot at Andersson sooner than later.


Yup something to Columbus for Olivier just won't die.

Only fan wet dreams, nothing concrete anywhere on this

Hudson Fashcing - has size and might be a later bloomer to being an OK player.

Jan Jenik - physical, agitator and can produce. Might be worth the chance to claim him and see what he can do.

Jeffrey Viel- tough gut, physical, would realize some pressure from Xhekaj to have to fight/be the guy who defends the team. Expect no offense.

Cole Scwindt - big body, started off very promising in the A, but seems to just match, or be close to that total and isn't improving.

Jakob Pelletier - too good for the AHL, not good enough for the NHL. Size is an issue. If he clears I hope the Habs try and trade for him, send him down and have him as the first call up.

Nolan Foote - pedigree/name recognition, but good size could be a potential 4th liner as he is a bigger boy and might be taken longer to get things going.

Zach Ashton-Reese - bit of an agitator/energy guy. Would be similar to Pezzetta imo.

Raphael Lavoie - big boy, the game I saw of him in the pre-season he had a bunch of chances, but couldn't score. Isn't afraid afraid get physical. Might be an OK choice for the 2nd line, but would look weird to pick a guy from waivers and give him top 6 minutes.

Not bad I guess 3 of the players mentioned got claimed.

By other teams


Schwindt would have been nice

Why are you outing yourself as someone who isn't interested in NHL hockey?

Why are you outting yourself as someone who doesn’t get a point?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Food for thought. If Pelletier was Slovakian, would anyone here even know who he was based on his career thus far?

Yes, he'd be Mesar in the future if we can be so lucky.

I think a lot of people don't even see him being a stud in the AHL let alone being a good NHLer.

 

[Miller Time]

Well he for sure could be of interest for another team. Maybe there is more in him than he displayed.

its just a classic case of a former 1st rd pick francophone otherwise i doubt we would hear about him

kravstov was bounced around here a lot...

names like Holloway, Broberg, Glass etc have made the rounds over the years.

Certainly, any first round pick that is also francophone gets more attention from our fan base (as they should IMO... local/ "homegrown" regional talent is something most fan bases in global pro sports pay attention to, even more so when there is a distinct cultural/language factor).

Pelletier has been, when healthy, very productive at the AHL level, I think we'd see similar chatter around any recent 1st round talent that hit the waiver wire imo
