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

[BigDaddyLurch]

Of course. But Habs have many young assets and picks to play that price.

...Rags would be looking for players, not picks or youngin's...they want to win now...

 

[Saundies]

The trade was both our 1st this year, Mailloux and Beck.

Of course if the trade is different, my answer could change.

It's all moot anyway because if have a better chance at dating Jessica Alba than Crosby leaving Pittsburgh. It would be extremely out of character for him.

Yep, he'll go down with the ship. It would have to the org personally offending him or pulling a NYR on Trouba (which would never happen) to get him out of there.

What future am I giving? This is the hilarious part of your reaction. We're not trading Ivan Demidov/Michael Hage/Lane Hutson for Crosby. Your reaction would be way more appropriate if I proposed that but it's not. You're getting worked up over Logan Mailloux and random unknown guys that we have no idea if they will pan out or not.

If we finish just in the playoffs, our pick is 16-17-18, not top 10.

I get that I'm on a prospects board so the bias toward them is going to be way more than any other hockey discussion venue but I would trade Mailloux/random dudes who might be good one day for Sidney Crosby no matter what, regardless of age. This isn't 38 year old Eric Staal here.


Understandable, but the bottom six is way easier to re-tool and build than the top 6. There would be less assets, but retooling down here rarely costs first rounders.

I do concede that the assets would be probably better spent on RD, but even though Dach has been playing better getting Crosby improves our Top 6 and our C's an insane amount.

Sure, but you are further emptying the cupboard which already took the hit of 2 1st+ Mailloux+Beck for Crosby. We'd have to do like the Lightning did in the late 2010s but with a lot less starting depth (and lower high end talent).

Crosby in a Habs jersey is a cool dream, but it's a trade that neither fits Crosby's character and Hughes MO so far.

Give up a 7th for my boy Anthony Beauvillier.

Don't really have a spot for him unless he wants to replace Pezzetta as the 13th forward.

True, but would rather have him playing right now instead of Pezzetta.

I

Guhle was a 16th pick, CC 15, Connor 17, Barzal 16, Larkin 15, Sanheim 17. Now double that because Calgary's pick was in the trade. And you add Beck who looks to be a perfect future 3rd line center. And you're willing to give up that plus a wild card in Mailloux for maybe two years of Crosby.

I would not mind Beauvillier but we should have a gritty guy to replace Pizzaria.

A BOY can dream

crosby centre with PL and Demi

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I don't think it's appropriate to describe Sidney Crosby as "a guy about to retire" and think that Owen fkn Beck and Logan fkn Mailloux is too much to give up to get his services. But that's just me.

it was
Owen Beck
Mailloux
1st CGY
1st MTL

for Crosby
when I quoted the first message.
You think perhaps a year of Crosby is worth all this? Look at Hage killing i right now , you could throw a Hage for a year of Crosby , i find it completely ridic at the position we are right now

yes I do
Crosby has at least 2 good years left and would be inspired to play in MTL
but do I think KH can get him? NO sadly no

I agree this is too much to give. No way I do this.

Late to the party..........have the Pens said they are selling?? Or are we dreaming here?

 

[DAChampion]

Will Crosby age like Chelios and Jagr?

Wouldn’t be surprise, he’s as fit then those guys

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Good chance.

Dude is built like a tree trunk, he takes his game and health seriously.

 

[LesCactus]

Before I saw the Crosby comments, I was going to jokingly suggest Elias Pettersson given the news surrounding him.

100% He's a blue blood horse. Insane genetics or training or both.
