HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #91: 2025 Trade Deadline edition

[Trabdy2]

I'm guessing Savard, Dvorak or Armia will not be in the lineup tomorrow night if a trade seems imminent tomorrow with any of them.

I'm starting to get the feeling we don't do anything, but if anyone is traded it's probably Armia.

What makes you sense a significant addition? Not saying he 100% won’t but that type of deal is usually an off-season thing.

The way the playoff chase is shaping up, NJD are toast, if Raymond’s gone for any period of time Det is too reliant on the PP which Raymond’s a significant part of so they become toast + Wings have the toughest schedule down the stretch.

The question though is acquisition cost - none of Redenbacher, Demidov, Fowler, Beck or Hage will be available so what for example does a cheap bastard like Dundon accept for Rantanen because I really don’t see him accepting just losing him for nothing as UFA after Guentzel fiasco last year.

If HuGo offer up say a 1st + 2nd + 3rd which Canes can flip w prospect to acquire a Boeser does that work? Or does Uncle Lou take that offer + grade B prospect for Nelson?

HuGo hold a huge advantage with 1st round picks - no other team in the race can offer up, at present, a projected 1st as high as Habs can (their own)

Next 2-days will be fascinating

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

We are a 2C away from a playoff run this season, and there's a possibility to get Demidov during the playoffs. Let's go Hugo.

 

[dinodebino]

I would in a heartbeat.

Cozens has shown 30 goal and near 70 point upside, has shown steady progression in the faceoff dot and his physicality has been ramping up exponentially over the last few seasons.

He got smoked by KK. KK ostie. Not sure about that physicality.

 

[Runner77]

If we're trading for a young, cost controlled 2nd line C it is hard to imagine the package going the other way would not include Hage or Beck.

There are many paths to a deal. Kent Hughes is resourceful, I’m confident he’ll pitch something none of us saw coming.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I don't think either gets dealt. The locker room wants them to add, not subtract well-liked vets. Didn't Armia sign in the offseason after the cup run?
I don't think habs budge. They only have 6 Dmen on this trip, I don't think they're dealing savard either.
As far Dvorak is concerned, are they going to retain to get another 3rd rounder?

Nope. Contract ends May 31. Insider Explains Major Modification to Demidov's KHL Contract That Prevents Him From Joining This Season

this is true. this is the way

 

[CrazyBob]

Wow are the Lightning losing their mind? They gave 2 1st and 1 2nd draft picks for 2 middling forwards. They are wasting their draft picks when they are clearly headed toward a rebuild with their team top players getting old.

Im sure if we're in the playoffs the Habs won't mind greasing a few pockets to get him released.

They clearly needed them?

I have no idea otherwise.. haha

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I think Savard is more likely to get dealt. RHD would return more on trade market and we probably want to give Reinbacher some games here, he could very well be an upgrade on Savard too. I don't see a good replacement for Armia in Laval.

we will add a forward or two, even if it simply a 4th line type players .

 

[LesCactus]

I’d actually prefer to keep Savard over Armia.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

2017 they drafted that probable POS Cal Foote and both Foote brothers have been dealt.

Howard is still there,though

 

[HomaridII]

Looks like Rantanen is getting dealt. Insiders on tsn reporting Carolina has started proactively reaching out to other teams.

Insane to give up on a player of that quality after 10 games. Guess he really doesn’t want to stay.

But still, at least try and go on a run with him.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I'd prefer to get rid of both because one is washed and the other one score a goal every 10 games and he is soft as hell

Canes gave up two youngish assets to acquire him - they operate on the cheap, after acquiring Guentzel last year who they felt they could extend and he bolted … I don’t see Dundon being ok with rinse & repeat.

 

[Hacketts]

Pie in the sky trade.

Trade for Rantanen only if an extension is on the table.

Move Demidov to center

Laine-Demidov-Rantanen

Trade Newhook, 1st, Mailloux, fruit basket.

Bet they find no takers and that entire thing fizzles with the Canes tanking?

 

[BaseballCoach]

Hard to believe 1st + scrap is getting us Cozens. Any team would beat that.

I’ll do Beck + mid/late first.

The $7.150M AAV greatly reduces the trade value if there is no retention.

IMO the best strategy is to sign a vet for the 2C role this summer. Keep our prospect and draft two more quality ones in june.

I'm leaning to a short term vet solution as well.

 

[vokiel]

I’ll do Beck + mid/late first. Chance are really low that first do anything in the NhL. I like Beck, but would surprise if he became more than a 40pts player which is what Cozens seems to be at his worst right now.

Buffalo is a shit show. Just look at what some of their former top prospects did with other teams. I’m not saying Cozens will explode here for sure but I’m willing to take a chance.

Concenssus is we don’t want to give Demidov/Hage/Fowler, and it’s ok. On the other hand we can’t expect to get a top young players in return for subpar elements.

IMO the best strategy is to sign a vet for the 2C role this summer. Keep our prospect and draft two more quality ones in june.

Yes, it's a good strategy for all our needs. There's just no sense in extending anyone right now over being able to consider potential improvements.

I miss Bob for that matter. No negotiations during the season was harsh and sometimes silly, but it paid off many times.
