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

[Weltschmerz]

If Crosby is elderly and washed then why is he expected to cost a fortune on the trade market?

because Dubas is a genius

If Crosby is elderly and washed then why is he expected to cost a fortune on the trade market?

Where do I said hes washed? I said it would cost a lot to acquired Sidney f***ing Crosby and we are in no position to win a cup in the next 2 years.

 

[The Great Weal]

Detroit/CBJ/NYR/NYI are all top 5 in remaining schedule strength.

Habs/Bos/Sens 19-20-23

Detroit especially .591 is a hella tough schedule. we’re just 3 points behind with a game left against them.

But they have a better chance of making it even if they go 0.500. We need to play like an elite team and bank on all other teams faltering.

 

[TomKosto]

Go further where ?

From picking 9th overall to 14th…

 

[MasterMatt25]

Unless the market isn't there, I don't see the point in keeping Evans/Armia/Dvorak/Savard past this deadline.

 

[LaP]

Is Peterka on the market? I heard he might be.

Why would Buffalo do that? Like the player a lot personally. If he's available you call for sure.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

I hope Hughes won’t trade Evans, Armia, DVorak or Savard. The team really needs these vets to go further. They have enough freagin picks that they won’t be able to sign them all anyway.

What some medias says is to make a package of many picks to get one or 2 players. Like the famous 2C we all hope for finally have 2 good lines. And it's about time we have 2 good lines, don't you think? I don't want Demidov to have Dach, Newhook, Dvorak or Evans as his center.

 

[Michoulicious]

Trade Evans for pick (s).

Sign Frederic (6'3, 220+, 27 y old) on July 1st for what Evans currently asks.

Profit.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

There is none , those players should all be gone anyways next season. Let's all be honest who wants to ice the same exact roster next season except you replace Savard for Reinbacher and Demidov for Newhook. That's barely any changes. We are gonna be better but we still need a top4 dman and a god damn second center

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

because Dubas is a genius

Like Orange Hair.

 

[McGees]

3 pts, so I prefer a battle for the playoffs then a late 2nd round pick in a weak draft

It isn't just the return, it is the hope to fall into the top 8 for the draft.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

One of the talking heads said he was available. Could be bull.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Profit.

Signing Jeannot, Frederic, or Olivier, should the contract fall through is a must imo.

Greenway is also in this consideration

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Crosby has win it all… Maybe he wants to retire as a Pens?

Maybe. Maybe not.

That’s the reason I brought it up.

The only way to know is ask. But it makes sense from a lot of angles.

1. We have tons of picks/prospects to trade with.

2. Pens are soon to rebuild whether they want to or not.

3. Crosby loves Montreal

4. Montreal needs a center and his leadership would be great for our young players

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Frederic and Olivier yes. Not sure Jeannot and Greenway would be of any use.

Unless the market isn't there, I don't see the point in keeping Evans/Armia/Dvorak/Savard past this deadline.

The point is to give the players a chance to make the playoffs. if you trad more than one how do you replace them?

Are you willing to trade 2 first rounder and Hage? We are not getting him craps like Mesar. It would take something like that. Unless Sid is saying he will only accept a trade to Mtl, which i really doubt. If he accept a trade, he is gonna want Pittsburgh to have a great return.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Frederic and Olivier yes. Not sure Jeannot and Greenway would be of any use.

Frederic is the best of the bunch.

They all PK to some capacity.

Jeannot might be the bigger hitter of the group. They're all physical, but he's more so.

Greenway is just a massive body that would be a pain in front of the net and in corners.

Assuming Olivier is signed, Jeannot is the toughest of the group.

Habs need a forward that can play/they trust who can be an energy forward as they currently don't have one in my eyes.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Seravalli added him to the trade board on Friday

 

[Deebs]

Pittsburgh is awful. They should blow it up and start fresh. This year and the next two look like good seasons to tank.

Flames 1st 2025
Habs 1st 2025
Habs 1st 2026
Jake Evans

for

Crosby

BRING HIM HOME!!

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Heinemen - Crosby - Demidov
Laine - Dach - Newhook
Anderson - Beck - Gally
Kapanen

Guhle - Matheson
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Carrier
Mailloux/Struble

At the draft - package both 2nds plus a third to move up to 1st round.

With all due respect......this is one of the worst trade ideas I've ever seen on here.....and there's been some DOOOOOZIES lol

I've been trying to tell you guys for a month or two now how terrible he's been playing this year. He's completely fallen off a cliff

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Go further where ?

You mean we don't trade those players to end up 3 pts from a PO spot. But in another way, as long as we can claim we are "in the mix", ya know.

Frederic is american probably has no interest in signing in Montreal with high taxes......and he is not a good fighter gets destroyed everytime he fights a good fighter.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's not meant to be just a fighter, he's a player who can play and brings that, so if things go south the Habs have some more players who can step up and engage

 

[tazsub3]

Post 4 nations sequence doesn't change anything. If it makes no sense to sign him trade. We can't afford to lose an asset for nothing at this point of the rebuild.

Of course it changes . It allows kh to negotiate harder.
Way more difficult to convince another gm you ok keeping a ufa when your season is already over

 

[TomKosto]

Frederic is american probably has no interest in signing in Montreal with high taxes......and he is not a good fighter gets destroyed everytime he fights a good fighter.

Weird take… He had good fights againts Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson. Not saying he won them but held his own. He had 40pts last year, can play on PK. He should be a guy we look at.

 

[Gustave]

I am going to get some hate by my HF brethren but I’m just gonna say it;
Trade Evans
Sign Dvorak

We cannot totally lose our depth and Evans will bring us more in return, PLUS we need a left handed centerman. Better the devil we know…

Andy, DVo and Gally line can hold a 4th line role easily so why not continue with it.
