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

[sampollock]

Truman is one of the worst.

he should be embarrassed. clown

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Would you sign Armia 2x2?

There isn't much room in the bottom six for next year.

With Demidov coming next year, we'll have Evans, Beck, Heineman, Newhook, Anderson and Gallagher to play in our bottom six, plus Dach might end up in our bottom six as well if we get a legit #2 C. Also young guys like Kapanen, Davidson and Roy could be pushing for a spot.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Now make ROR/Schenn/Horvat/whoever actually decent 2C happen and I shall pray to the HuGo golden idol forever.

 

[EveryDay]

Savard---- MTL only have 6 D healthy right now so unless it's a solid offer, David should stay.

Dvorak--- Not much value, why would you trade him for a 4th round pick?

Armia--- Should have good value, a 2nd pick? Go ahead and trade him.

 

[SnapVirus]

Now i think we will trade for a cheap Trevor Zegras. He is best friend of Caufield and he knows Martin St-Louis. And if it doenst work out, it wont cost a lot. And next year Zegras/Dach will battle it out for 2c, if we cant get a good one on the Open Market.

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Newhook - Zegras - Laine
Heineman - Evans - Armia
Gallagher - Beck - Andersson

Not the best line up, but he is in our age range and mostly, wont cost us, something good.

 

[TheArch]

Sick value deal, GG Hughes.

Faque...

I'd guess not a single player will be dealt, and there is a decent chance they swing for the fence with a young C with terms. Very unlikely, but I'm sure this is something they try real hard.

What are you giving up for Zegras and why others team can’t be that offer? It’s Mtl and only Mtl for Zegras? Doubt it.

 

[Benstheman]

Now are we buying ?

Why not. I wouldn't be surprised by a Cozens trade to Habs.

Would you sign Armia 2x2?

Absolutely

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Sean Monohan is exactly what we needed going forward. Sucks they couldn’t work out a way to keep him.

 

[SwiftyHab]

What do you expect him to say? "I hope they trade Dvorak, that guy f***ing sucks..." then he has to go play with him!? Come on. You NEVER get the truth in the media anymore. There's too much control on what players say now.

Suzuki is echoing the same thing. Management talked about playing meaningful games in March. That doesn’t happen if you sell off Evans and company and don’t replace them.

 

[sampollock]

2C is a must but most likely at the draft

 

[SakuKoivu11]

I like how you threw in that 2nd round pick to create the illusion of balance.

lol almost got you.

 

[Yoshidas Island]

It reads almost exactly like Evans saw that there was 0 chance that he would stay on the team post-trade deadline if he didn't sign a deal so he compromised and signed a team-friendly deal in order to stay on the Habs. What Truman said (Evans likely going, he's distraught about it) can still be true. He might've just decided that he'd rather stay on the team than make an extra 4-5~ million with any UFA contract he was signing this summer.

IMO it would cost Mailloux….and I’d still make the deal

 

[Adam Michaels]

That is a good question to ask. Is Hughes looking to address the 2C spot by Friday or will he wait until after the season?

 

[Vachon23]

If a hockey trade is available before Friday, he’s gonna do it but he won’t overpay to do it

 

[Adam Michaels]

If a hockey trade is available before Friday, he’s gonna do it but he won’t overpay to do it

Agreed.

 

[McGees]

If they trade Hage for a C that isn't an absolute stud, I'll be pissed.

 

[Adam Michaels]

If they trade Hage for a C that isn't an absolute stud, I'll be pissed.

Yes. If we're trading Hage, it should be for someone worth it.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Savard and Dvorak probably don't return a 2nd, so I don't think they will trade them.

But Armia should return a 2nd, so will be interesting to see what they do

 

[Hacketts]

Would they circle back to Zegras?

 

[le_sean]

Would they circle back to Zegras?

But why? He hasn’t shown anything and got hurt yet again this year.

 

[Benstheman]

If they trade Hage for a C that isn't an absolute stud, I'll be pissed.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Savard and Dvorak probably don't return a 2nd, so I don't think they will trade them.

But Armia should return a 2nd, so will be interesting to see what they do

Armia at 50% yes I agree.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs still have a retention slot for either Armia, Dvorak or Savard.

Armia @ 50% retention: $1.7M
Dvorak @ 50% retention: $2.225M
Savard @ 50% retention: $1,75M

 

[BergevinBurner]

I had that thought rolling around my head all week.

I couldn't see them selling with the team this close to the playoffs and I was wondering if we could see a "draft style" trade by Hughes at this deadline to get a 2C.

With the Evans extension it does seem more likely since it seems like they're open to making a run at the playoffs this year. The options seem incredibly slim though. I think Cozens and Zegras are both very attainable guys if that's who Hughes is after. I see McTavish is currently listed on the Ducks 3rd line, if by some chance he's not completely untouchable then I'd be all over trying to get him.
