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

[26Mats]

Unless he somehow comes really cheap or is a switch with Dvorak/Armia/Anderson/Gallagher, I wouldn't target him as he is UFA this summer and is 33.

I think Granlund gets at least a 2nd or a decent prospect.

I'd take JT Miller before Pettey, thank you very much.

The problem with Miller is his age - even if he did want to play in Canada, which he doesn't.

But many are speculating Petterson wouldn't do well in a high pressure market like Montreal. If that's not an issue:

To VAN: Dach + Laine + ?
To MTL: Pettersson

Pettersson sounds like a complete liability, no thanks.

And Montreal shouldn't spend a 2nd or a decent prospect for 1 run of Granlund.

Even before Guhle's injury.

 

[Egresch]

Armia isn’t getting a 2nd! People need to get over this idea! 4th liners don’t go for anything

I think we might even trade him as a duo with Evans. Team like MIN has terrible PK and these two would be immediate fix.
Armia 50% retained + Evans could give us solid value.

 

[sampollock]

The good thing of us is some other teams are going to start having internal caps, where I don't see it being an issue for us.

FIGS will be happy

 

[Benstheman]

With the cap going up big time, I would go for Seth Jones at full salary.

I'd go after Ekblad

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Michkov will demand a trade to MTL to play with Demidov after another couple years of playing for Tortorella

 

[SpeedyPotato]

I'm fine with that, we're at a point where we have the assets to be bold and still have good young guys left after.

We have nothing coming up on RD that is even close to Reinbacher’s potential. I’m not touching him. If they want Mailloux sure, but I don’t think he holds that much value

 

[Bottle Rocket]

Great, do we have an old Russian pending UFA, a waived former 1st rounder, a 2nd and a 7th to propose to Briere?

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Kind of hope it's a 1st round pick. Having three 1st round pick next draft would put us in a very good position to be agressive right when we want to start to be agressive.

If it’s Washington I’d be asking for next year’s 1st. I think they’re due for regression, this year looks like a fluke to me

 

[vokiel]

Regardless of which team, I'd ask for next year or the year afterwards. We have 2 1st in this one, and it doesn't really look that strong to begin.

 

[Habs Halifax]

FIGS will be happy

Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh... Dubas is looking at all the guys he can sign to bloated contracts...

A few months later...

Regardless of which team, I'd ask for next year or the year afterwards. We have 2 1st in this one, and it doesn't really look that strong to begin.

According to Bob M, the first waive is top 8 and there is another drop around 15-20 range. We are right in the mix of that 2nd drop area. Habs pick should be 10-15 range and Flames pick should be 14-20 range.

He also said 2nd rounders in this draft is usually 3rd rounders in the typical draft.

 

[26Mats]

I agree. Unless they think they can re-sign him as a stop gap, 2 to 3 year deal. Though I think that is unlikely.

With the cap going up big time, I would go for Seth Jones at full salary.

Ok, but I think you can get him with retention. We still need to be careful of not having huge salaries.

But I like the idea. He's definitely buy low:

Hutson - Jones
Matheson - Carrier
Xhekaj - Savard/Struble

Next year:
Hutson - Jones
Guhle - Carrier
Xhekaj - Matheson/trade/Struble

What would it cost to get Seth Jones? Matheson? Struble + ?

 

[gusfring]

We aren't buyers - none of these will happen. They are happy with where they are.

Dvorak and probably Armia will go - Evans as well if they can't sign him.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

With the cap going up big time, I would go for Seth Jones at full salary.

Why? He is not a good player

 

[Treb]

Why? He is not a good player

What if you include Anderson and/or Gallagher in the deal?

I will not only drive them to the airport but also fly the plane

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Evans ++ for Nemec
Dvorak for 2027 2nd rd pick
Armia for 2027 2nd rd pick
Savard - 2026 5th rd pick.

I know the real world sucks, but you gotta come back to it.

Savard could get more than a 5th and none of those other players are worth that.

 

[Habs Halifax]

My advise is to not talk or use words like "player worth or values" at a TDL. Supply/Demand is a huge factor at TDL's and it varies season to season.

The other layer to this is the draft drop in talent. Bob M has recently said that there is a drop around 8 and then another around 15-20 range. He said 2nd rounders in this draft will be your typical 3rd rounders.

For this reason, you will see more late 1st and 2nd rounders traded.
