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

[yianik]

I get it but I'm just saying that's going to be the cost if they trade Dobson.

According to the Norris results of last year, he's a top10 defenceman in the NHL + he's a RD.

Our defence would be set for years with Dobson.

Guhle-Dobson
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj-Carrier
Engstrom/Mailloux

You can trade Matheson for picks/Prospects.

Yes I understand. And for sure huge hole filled. But how good is he defensively because i think thats important. People flip on Matheson.

Slaf can score 20, Laine 30, Demidov 30 as well.

Theoretically. I mean not this year

 

[jrom]

Incarcerated Bob said something about Dobson last week, no?

Got a feeling Dobson is going to get trade for immediate help in the top6.

Caufield/ Slafkovski for Dobson?

I don’t get why everyone is in such a rush to trade for Dobson who albeit a good puck moving RD isn’t a D stalwart, plays soft and is due for a big contract.

It’s an upgrade on Matheson but is it really worth it ? Half this board will be mad at him after 3 games. Still think we need to find a good 2C that can drive play on that 2nd line.

 

[HabzSauce]

Again
UFA like him don't usually make it to july 1

He's already been traded to a new team. I think Rants is a different situation than your typical pending UFAs

Get the sense he really wants to hit open market and see what his offers look like before committing to anyone

 

[MarkovsKnee]

His absolutely stunning reaction to one of his (many) recent penalties, a reaction that even took David Savard by surprise, one of pure casualness, did not sit well with me, simple fan. To me, it showed a lack of maturity. Not a fan.

Which one? He takes so many dumb penalties it's hard to keep track.

I can’t even remember which game. There has been so many!

 

[McGees]

Slaf can score 20, Laine 30, Demidov 30 as well.

Laine doesn't look like he can score 10 right now.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The Sergachev deal is a benchmark for the price. he was traded after a 64 pts in 79 games.

Conor Geekie, J.J. Moser, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2024 seventh-round pick (no. 199 overall)

Dobson has no where near the pedigree of Sergachev.

If we finish with pick 8+, I wouldn't hesitate to trade that pick to NYI for Dobson.

I remarked on a reaction he had to missing the net with a shot maybe a week or so prior that. It completely caught his bench mates by surprise I've seen similar reactions from hockey players in the past but they were reacting to injuries they felt would keep them out long term...

Exactly doesn't have to be a huge move, just get better. It's like the carrier acquisition. He's not an all star but he's the kind of quality D that moves the needle a small amount. But it's still moving, that's all that matters.

I'm hoping Hughes can find an established 2C

Closer to the vein for euthanasia?

 

[jrom]

I can’t even remember which game. There has been so many!

Ducks game on February 2, after the 5th cross-check on the guy already down on the ice he got a 2mn at the end of the 2nd period.

 

[sampollock]

Just improve the club pls

 

[vokiel]

Just improve the club pls

I say we ask Molson for free beer instead.

I will fly out

I’d make that type of move too but then I wonder.. what AAV/Term does he want?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

My guess 4-5 years max.

 

[sampollock]

We just need some strong sparks to give this team a edge

Hard to believe that after all these picks over all the years, our best center is still Suzuki who was acquired by trade (not drafted by the Habs!).

Hage looks good to me.. we will see.

I just keep getting back to drafting more centers! Improving by trade or UFA is risky most times. Got to wait out for another teams problem (Miller for example) to become available. UFA contracts are usually massive overpayments

My guess 4-5 years max.

That’s my problem with it.. Dobson’s best years will be the last 2 years of that term and then he makes you pay big time to retain him.

I’m a Dobson fan but he’s not the type of target I’m looking for

 

[DAChampion]

Which RHD would you prefer the Habs acquire, Dobson or Nemec?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nemec

 

[BergevinBurner]

Which RHD would you prefer the Habs acquire, Dobson or Nemec?

Nemec's a better stylistic fit for us and he'd be considerably cheaper.

 

[26Mats]

Dobson has no where near the pedigree of Sergachev.

If we finish with pick 8+, I wouldn't hesitate to trade that pick to NYI for Dobson.

NYI looking to sacrifice Dobson to get a top offensive talent.

We'd have to find a 3rd team to trade our 1st to who wants to, for some reason, give up such a player. We may have to add too.
