HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #90: 2024-2025 season part III

[Treb]

Talk politics, get the boot.

I would go for Cozens asap, lock up a 2C who can actually win draws

Cozens & Dach have the same deficiences - lack defensive awareness & subpar at faceoffs

Cozens, however, has a non stop motor (hence “workhorse from Whitehorse” nickname), and more speed to his game vs Dach

Say the TSN trade board this morning and it had Savard at number 4.

Over/Under getting a 2.5 round pick in return for him.....what say you?


Also talk that if Rantanen doesn't come to terms with Carolina, he may be on the move again. Wouldn't that be something

Last year I would have said Savard would get a 2nd. But he has not been good this year.

Posters complain about Matheson’s D gaffes don’t realize how prone Dobson is to unforced errors as well

Matheson is statistically one of the worst defensive defenceman out there. Dobson is not nearly that bad. And he’s better offensively too. What better partner for Hutson if the goal is to have Guhle with Carrier as the stable duo, when the Habs were playing better. Both players on their natural side, it would be similar to Toews-Makar.

Still no trade zzz

...apologies...got my panties in a twist...kinda like the entire Bargain Bin Era...I'll try harder...

Some of these roster proposals are mind blowing. Filling half the team with new players and the other half with rookies who’ve never played in the NHL.

Exaggeration undermines the point.

If **all** of Dvorak, Savard, Evans, and Armia are traded that means a maximum of four rookies next year, and almost certainly some of those spots would be covered by rookies or trade acquisitions.

And none of those are core players.

It's not a big deal.

I would like to keep Evans though. He's not that easy of an asset to acquire. He's like Lehkonen, you trade these players knowing you might quickly try to have to acquire one. The rest are replaceable.

Say the choice is the following, what do you choose?

1) Sign Evans to a 4-year extension at 4.5 million/year.
2) A 1st rounder from a contender.

1st rounder. Then sign evans in the offseason

Dach may not be the solution at center but i still believe he can still be an effective top 6 winger. I'm not trading him right now, especially not if Laine can't be a regular top 6 winger, which is a big concern.

I'd look at getting a second line center and moving Dach to the wing.

He could be a good winger and I think they need to put him there

Agreed. I’ve been on this for awhile now. He can’t be our long term solution at 2C moving forward. I think he can be a very effective piece for us but it has to be on the wing. We need to find a proper 2C, or 1A with Suzuki.

I got to go find a number two center through trade
That has to be a must

 

[bleuetbio]

Dont forget to put Laine 50% retained on the block. He's ugly as shit

 

[Paddy17]

Caufield for Dobson is a no brainer

A no-brainer for the Isles. Dobson is the most overrated player on this board right now.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

I wonder if we see a lot of moves over the 4 nations break. Would allow for Canadian teams trade to get the visa situation sorted out + moving logistics

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

DO NOT DO ANYMORE TRADES WHERE YOU TRY AND ACQUIRE STRUGGLING PLAYERS THAT HAVE A CAREER HIGH OF 30 POINTS.

 

[sampollock]

Make the big deal and bring some talent in.
KH no more Barron deals pls

 

[HuGort]

Anthony Richard on waivers...if the idea is to trade some forwards soon...he can't be a bad bet. Frankly, I have no idea how this kid couldn't be a good PK'er with some heavy forecheck. He does have the insane speed.

I'd put a claim in. Richard better than Pezzetta

 

[sampollock]

I'd put a claim in. Richard better than Pezzetta

2/3 of Laval is better

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Pezz Dispensor is just holding Heineman's spot...why add more waiver fodder??...

Alex Turcotte, YOU ARE A MONTREAL CANADIEN!

 

[sampollock]

one day Davidson will get a chance

 

[HuGort]

You want to think ahead. Good for Laval playoff run. Deep playoff run important developing players. Richard good AHLer. Play couple games here, send him down When Heineman returns. Decent chance he gets thru. Habs be trading veterans at deadline, calling Beck, Davidson up.

Likely would get re-claimed if sent down. You'd have to play the yoyo claim like Vegas did with Lavoie.
