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.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

He’s better then Savard, defensively he’s elite and he’s exactly what we need in our top 4

I would trade Mailloux for Carlo without any remorse.

Hendrix Lapierre is represented by Quartexx Management

Another guy who can't shoot, exactly what we need.

 

[MrNasty]

A reminder that Hutson, Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle all drafted outside of the top 10.

 

[HuGort]

Imagine reasons why. I would pass. Been burned before on these types. Dach, Newhook, Barron

 

[HuGort]

He sucks.....ass

Look at his faceoff percentage though. That's why his Corsi is good. Even though he's bad player. Dvorak could be poster player for importance of faceoffs.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I hope Hughes is calling LA everyday about Clarke and asking to speak to Bergevin and then mention names like Pezzetta and Gallagher to him.

But on a serious boat, I hope they're doing their due diligence and checking in on Clarke's availability and the potential cost.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Drake Batherson might be available.

Since his hattrick, in 32 games he has 15 points and the fans are getting a little miffed, so management might be considering moving on from him.

Might be worth a look

I can see Kent setting a high price on Evans a too good to pass up kind of deal. Us being 1 point back only helps his negotiations. If some one steps up good if not then we keep him for this playoff push. There's a cluster of teams battling for the wild card spots were still sitting 3 spots back of the last wild card with 2-3 teams right on our heels.

Hughes isn't going to look at it like that. He's only going to move a player if he gets he price he wants, not because the team is X points from a WC spot.

With the little that Beck played, I have a feeling a new 2C will join the team in Edmonton.

 

[McGees]

the team is clearly playing with heart but it would be foolish hang onto UFAs because we beat some bottom feeders.
