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

[SlafySZN]

It would be seen as a slap in the face to the team for sure.

We can sit up here on the forum with the bird's eye view of "they're not a playoff team anyway, still need to rebuild, get what they can, asset management, blah blah.."

These guys don't see that and they shouldn't have to. They're in the heat of it battling. They want to take the next step, whether it's realistic anything happens after that or not.

Honestly I'm quite inclined to agree unless an offer for Evans blows you away. Trading him away for a 2nd? Who will play C for the rest of the year? Newhook? Will they give Beck more than 3 minutes? I doubt it.

Why not? It doesn’t really care who plays center in the last 20 games of the season…

The point of selling is to get assets and also weaken the team to get a better draft pick, which we need.

We're one point out of a playoff spot, yes, but that can change really quickly to 5 points out by Thursday night.

Detroit's next 2 games are at home. They play Carolina Tuesday, and I fully expect the Wings to win that. Carolina sucks on the road & are just playing terrible hockey. 4-6-0 in last 10.

That'll be Detroit's game in hand & they'll move 3 points up on Montreal. On Thursday, Wings host Utah, which is another winnable game.

That game starts at 7 PM. Montreal's game @ Edmonton starts at 9 PM. Montreal could be 5 points out by the end of 1st period.

If we're 5 points out Thursday night, we're definitely selling.

If we're 3 points out, it's a tougher call because we still have a game left against Detroit. How Detroit fairs in their next 2 games before we play our next game will help us decide a lot.

I don't see Hughes doing anything til Friday.
