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

[Rapala]

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.

It would be kind of weird giving up our first in a deal with a top offensive forward going to the NYI when our foremost need is a top offensive forward who can play center? I still think we need the forward first and can get through another season with Matheson playing RD if it comes to that.

 

[McGees]

Matheson retained + a forward over 28yo + a pick for Mavrik Bourque

Matheson for Rene Bourque.

 

[yianik]

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

Nemec

 

[Michelangelo]

What would it take to sign Marner as a FA?

...much more than he is worth...he was EASILY Canada's worst forward tonight...even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...

Priority is still a 2C.

As you mention, without icing a Cup-winning D-Corps yet next year (not a big deal since we're definitely not ripe to win a Cup yet), we can play next year with Matheson alongside Hutson on the right side, at east until next year's trade deadline when Matheson will likely be moved.

Carrier can play all year with Guhle as he diid, reasonably well at that, when we acquired him.

Reinbacher can start off on a 3rd pairing alongside Xhekaj until the deadline when, hopefully, he's ready for duties alongside Hutson. Mailloux can the get a hard look alongside Xhekaj.

That's crazy , id take Marner. This team would be much better already.

...until we made the Playoffs...then he'd make Laine look engaged...

Big difference in contracts. Dobson going to hit jackpot

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Marner has 50 points in 57 playoff games. I don't think he would be the problem.

hes also above ppg in his career. Clearly he would totally sink our franchise

...and again, it's all about cookies, right??...Marner WILTS come Playoff time; all that Free Ice he dipsy-doodles around doesn't exist in the Playoffs...someone else can pay him 13-14 mill to be a great REGULAR SEASON player...

Yet people are about to pay Rantanen 14m for a guy that can't drive a line by himself who has been heavily carried by Mackinnon. I don't know. He can play both side of the ice. Crazy how Kadri looked like a clown in Toronto and shined in Colorado. It's almost like Toronto aint pretty everyday like here in Montreal. Our team is gross id rather sink 13m into Marner than 7.5m to Slaf

Marner would be great with Suzuki and Caufield. The softest line ever, they would scare the shit out of opponents with their 150 hits per season. Great idea

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Yeah because slaf is literally a mountain . 6,4 hits like Paul Byron. Height is everything i guess

 

[Benstheman]

So how about that Sid kid hey? I’m looking at him go and I can’t believe he can’t still go for 4-5 great years of hockey. Bring him in MTl please.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

So.McCann is supposedly available. He seems to have shifted in and out of center but he's a left handed shooter. I'd rather target him than Cozens

 

[SOLR]

He would be an incredible add for Suzuki.

 

[Egresch]

Slafkovsky 121 hits

Caufield 42
Suzuki 44
Marner 32
Altogether beautiful 118 hits. I guess the result is clear, unless you are totally blind.

 

[ReHabs]

How many of those hits actually hurt people… or recovered the puck? 6-7?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Habs can't even make the playoffs, so Marner would help with that. Plus you're adding a 90 point player who also PKs.

Problem is, he's probably going to ask 13, 14 mill a year...

I don't understand why people are looking at high end wingers.

The only position we may be stronger in than wings is LD.

RD, C and G are all bigger concerns.

That's reasonable, now that cap is going up. If you're overpaying in free agency, pick up a star instead of new David Backes.

Maybe signing a UFA winger gives you the opportunity to use one to go get a 2C or RHD?

 

[Habs Icing]

He impressed me last night. Hands down the best player on the ice......at 37. Wow!

 

[Benstheman]

He will learn to use his body effectively with experience. Also, he is big but I don't think he is as strong as his height and weight suggest. He will get stronger with time. It's just normal for a 20-21 years old.

At least he hits. He tries.
