HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #89: 2024-2025 season part II

[Habs7631]

Regarding Nemec, I think he’s available but they’re probably gonna try to package him for a big fish. They don’t have their 1st this year but they have 3 seconds, Nemec. Casey, Silayev, Mercer and Gritstyuk. And all their 1st starting next year.

I think they’ll try to trade for the next big star forward available. They have the assets to make it happen.

A target like Nemec is nice but he needs to be available. We are talking about the #2 OA pick that the Devils likely still value very high. That likely requires us to trade Slaf or Hage or Reinbacher pieces and we prefer not too.

Remember, the point of trading for Andersson is to have impact now and future. Guys like Nemec and Reinbacher and Hage are 3+ year solutions until they are ready for prime time. By then, Suzuki is 2 years away from UFA and needs a massive raise.

It just depends where Montreal is interested in going. Unless management has total faith in Reinbacher or in Ghule playing on the right side, Montreal needs a RHD.

Nemec is on the side of the longer rebuild and Andersson is almost too old and represents the sped up rebuild. If there was somehow a player in between that becomes available then Montreal should throw everything and the kitchen sink. Reinbacher and Hage should be on the table for that.
