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

[Gravity]

When our next best option is Struble, we need a Savard or better on the 3rd pair. Mailloux isn't impressive and Reinbacher just missed a whole year. In the perfect scenario, someone pushes Carrier to the 3rd pair.

Nah we can sign a vet #5/6RD and still cash in for Savard.

 

[Gravity]

At this point in the rebuild we need quality over quantity. I'd use both our 1st rounders and some expendable assets to move as high up in the draft as possible.

 

[themilosh]

Not at the price that would f%$# up our rebuild

Pitts is dead in the water. I can see Crosby accepting a trade to Habs - just trying to figure out what Pitts would want?
Mtl 1st + CGY 1st + Mailloux + Beck. Something has to sting to make that work, if even for 1.5 years.

CC - Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - Crosby- Demidov
Dach - Evans - Armia
Andy - Dvo - Gally

what an overpayment for a guy turning 38 this summer...

 

[Treb]

Just a thought


KH said he will not go for a rental

With Carrier, I don't think Habs need a Pulock.

They need either an upgrade on Carrier (dropping him to the 3rd pair with Xhekaj) with Guhle or an upgrade to Matheson with Hutson.

So your plan is to try to contend for two years (with a suboptimal D and bottom 6) and then rebuild? Because that is what that trade is doing.

 

[Runner77]

I agree he won't sell out from under them but I doubt he keeps an unsigned Evans.

Team only has two experienced. KH better find out soon enough.

They not moving Crosby.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Reinbacher is our man

Ghule Carrier
Hutson Reinbacher
Xhekaj Matheson

Pretty solid

Ideally Carrier is our 3rd RD

Hutson x
Guhle Reinbacher
Engstrom/Xhejak Carrier

Pulock is a better Dman than Carrier. If we keep Matheson and get Pulock, Carrier would be on the 3rd line for sure.

 

[Deebs]

Pulock is a better Dman than Carrier. If we keep Matheson and get Pulock, Carrier would be on the 3rd line for sure.

Not sure about this statement at this point in time. Just for shits and giggles sake, if we were able to acquire him, it would be very difficult breaking up Guhle and Carrier given how well they've meshed together. I think Pulock would be a nice stabilizer for Arber on the 3rd pairing.

 

[Thomas Sowell]

What do you think Crosby would cost?

 

[salbutera]

this is a great place for KH to be. success and has assets to trade

Yup - HuGo are in a leverage position, if teams want the UFAs they need to overpay, otherwise Habs hold onto them as if they were deadline acquisitions …. as simple as that IMO

What do you think Crosby would cost?

Habs 2025 1st rounder unprotected - Pens have minimal leverage as Crosby has final say in destination teams.

Assumes Crosby would waive NMC for Mtl
