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

[Benstheman]

Obvious guy to target. Fits the timeline well and is progressing nicely. No idea what LA's issue with him is. At the same time they're trying to sign Gavrikov long term at 29 years old.

There's no way you write off a 22 year old in his first full year in the league as a PP specialist. Mailloux is the same age and hasn't even cracked the league yet.

He doesn't seem to know what to do in his own end. Just like Mailloux, just like Nemec.

I'm not interested in offensive defenseman anymore. We got Lane, Reinbacher has some offense. We need guys that can defend.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

With Evans new contract his price has increased from Nemec to Luke Hughes

 

[Mats Naslund]

It does for every fr***n' player of the Sabres. With this team, we can't be sure of anything. See the 2 top players that left and what they became. He's a better "2nd chance rebirth" than what was Dach at the time.

Agreed and exactly why I would not want to give up more than Dach Mailloux and Calgary's 1st for him, Romanov would look really nice on this D!!!!!!

 

[sampollock]

Zegras is better than he has been playing this season

many here disagree

I like him and maybe it's just me, but I can't see that contract aging very well in 2-3 years from now for the Jackets!

Yea maybe it will hurt down the line but players like that are a lost breed. Esp. since this year Olivier has been producing as well.

Hughes needs to call up the Devils now and remind them that Dvo once had a 109 point and a 121 point season while playing with London in the OHL so he should easily be able to replace J Hughes and his offense in the Devils lineup without any problems.

What if Devils GM says “but he was playing Marner & Tkachuk?”

 

[Treb]

yes it's prorated, but the value is established at 1.3million (for a 4th rounder). it is just very poor financial management given there is no physical asset/prospect coming their way. financial malpractice if im an owner - it doesn't affect the fans at all.. I get these guys are rich, but they are not in the business of burning bills to heat the building.

if these (GMs) were politicians, I'd immediately suspect some laundering going on. It's not a coincidence that Yzerman is an ex TB player - he's getting a pay out for this (back channels). it makes ZERO sense for DET to make this deal.

Pick for a bit of money.

You're way overreacting.

"...In a stunning turn of events, after seeing the haul that the Kraken received...Kent Hughes has gone ahead and traded Jake Evans along with Armia for
2 x 1st rounders to Dallas. When reached for comment all Hughes texted back was 'Haters gonna hate'

 

[red devil]

Hughes won't be ready until training camp

 

[sampollock]

[habsfan891]

If new Jersey is selling get Nemec anyway lol

 

[Egresch]

Can we get Kovy for 4th?

 

[Benstheman]

NJ will sell

They have nothing to sell...

Isn't that like Hughes' third injury to the shoulders? Not good.

 

[Deebs]

Why is this kid available....what's the catch?

Yes it is and yes it isn't good. it's like his third surgery.

Tough break for the Devils and Jack.

He is incredibly bad defensively. He does not seem to be interested in learning either.

I watched him a lot in junior as I drive up to Barrie to catch Colts games quite often and he was always completely offensive minded and regularly abandoned his defensive responsibilities. He has obvious talent and L.A is not looking to give him away but if they can get a piece that they really like they will move him.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Please Hugues trade the Barginbin leftovers, I can't anymore

Ok. So he's like a Bouchard type of D man???
