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

[Ozmodiar]

I don't think we need a first-line centerman because we have a top-notch one in Suzuki. Nick is not in the MacKinnon, McDavid class. Few are but he is in the next group.

So, we need a second line centerman. Here are some names:
Granlund
Thompson
W. Johnston
Jarvis
Your Kyrou
Thomas
Horvat

Aren’t half these guys currently playing wing?

Not that they can’t, or haven’t, played center. Just might make the pro scouting a bit trickier. Don’t want to swing and miss again. Likely moot point because not available anyway.

I was sad we didn't go after Hertl when he was available. I was sad when we didn't go after Horvat when he was available. Kyrou would be the ideal 2C for Montreal.

Hertl, at 31, would be a great stop gap for 4 years or so.

None of those three are available, IMO.

Moot point because not available, but if we were playing from another position as a strength (say D), they might be available because they are playing on the wing and the assumption would be that they are because there is a lot of depth at C on their teams.

is rg.org a person?




According to a source close to the case cited by the site RG.org, the Canadian would have a real interest in getting his hands on Dobson.

"A source familiar with the matter confirms that the Canadians are monitoring the situation closely, but that no offers have been made yet. However, using some of the assets acquired in their sale could help them soften the blow of the high price that any of the assets mentioned above are likely to cost them."

Would you trade Slaf for Dobson?

Come on Kent, I'm eager to see Dvorak go for a fifth.

I think Boston gets hosed... So I like it

Marchand will be 37 next season. They could get more for him but not that much more. He's going to hit a massive wall soon.

I'm eager to not see Dvorak.

Turnover in the lineup will make it difficult for the Habs next season, even with the arrival of Demidov and, hopefully, Reinbacher who will both still be rookies.

A C-line of Suzuki - Dach - Newhook - Beck has one of the worst middle-6s in the league and a rookie as a 4th line C.

Carrier as our #1 RHD is also rather weak.

Those foundations don't scream playoffs.

This sums it up. Not to mention we don’t have a #1 goaltender either. Massive amount of work ahead for management.

We easily have the worst top 4 centre depth in the NHL if that’s what we roll out with next season. What else is new? Our lack of centre depth has been an ongoing issue for 35 years.

so seems like the islanders want an established star forward for Dobson. Now I’m not sure he qualifies but if Boston does want to rebuild or retool and trade Brad Marchand, maybe we can swing a theee way deal

To Boston
Calgary 1st and Joshua Roy

To Islanders
Montreal 1st and Brad Marchand

To Habs
Noah Dobson

Too much for a guy the Islanmders can't depend on defensively.

Why are people saying Kyrou is a C? I don’t remember ever seeing him there and he’s taken less than 25 FO the last 2 seasons combined. He’s strictly a winger

Was a C before that, from what I remember.
