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

[eklund the clown]

I don't think we make any trades anytime soon unless the injury bug hits yet again.We have to see what we have here and so far it's looking good.We should be 3-0

Again, the discussion here was about Matheson for Andersson.

Guhle - Andersson
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj - Barron
Struble

Even with Andersson in the line-up, Guhle won't be moved to the left side. Savard is currently averaging 16 minutes TOI (Barron/Xhekaj get even lower minutes). Guhle will stay on the right side until the Habs have two RHD who can play 18-20+ minutes each. Matheson/Hutson provide those minutes on the left side already. Guhle provide it on the right side right now.

Again, the discussion here was about Matheson for Andersson.

Guhle - Andersson
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj - Barron
Struble

I don't think that Guhle playing on the right side is a big deal.
He said it himself on L'Antichambre Saturday after the game and he seemed genuine about it.
Said he took reps on the right side all summer to get used to it and so far it seems to work fine.

I see him playing with Hutson for a long time.

I think Savard is more suited to play on the 3rd pair.
Too bad Struble is hurt because he looked good enough to play top 4.

I could see them trying those pairs when Struble returns:

Hutson - Guhle
Matheson - Struble
Xhekaj - Savard
Barron

With Andersson instead of Matheson, they'd have Struble playing the left side.

Hutson - Guhle
Struble - Andersson
Xhekaj - Savard
Barron

I'd be surprised if it happens anyway.
I don't think Matheson has that much value and Andersson will cost too much.
And, again, Matheson has a NTC, he's not gonna want to go to Calgary.

What do we need then?
Tougher 3rd liner

A legitimate top line forward, improved bottom 6ers and a 1RD, and a legit backup
