HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread 92 Waiting on the DRAFT Edition

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

He’s having a down year but how many 100+ point centres who excellent defensively can be called “not good?”

He’s expensive for a reason. He earned a long term contract based on being a PPG player who’s only 26. He fits perfectly with the teams core and is locked into a long term contract.

He’s exactly the player Habs could use and make the first two lines interchangeable as 1A and 1B.

Add EP and a top pair of RHD and you have the makings of a contender.

Cole Suzuki Slaf
Laine EP Demidov
Newhook/Dach Anderson
Heineman Evans Gally

Hutson RHD
Guhle Carrier
Struble/Xhekaj Reinbacher

I’ll take that lineup.

Ok “not good” might have been a bit harsh but I’d bet my bottom dollar he doesn’t sniff 100 again

Still probably a 70pt+ player reliably but for almost $12M I’ll pass

EP would cost us Suzuki and nothing less.

These types of trades are rarely one for one type deals. They’re usually for package of prospects picks and roaster players as the player being traded never goes for what they’re worth. How many times have players been traded and the return was for much less then people thought they’d get. JT for Chytl and a 1st is not his value. These are the standard type deals that actually happen. Definitely wouldn’t cost Suzuki.

Habs are already soft and we'd be adding one of the softest players out there. Pass.

Vancouver traded Miller so it wouldn't be the best move to trade EP for prospects and roster players. The conversation would involve Suzuki or some other good young player like Slaf or others. Vancouver wants to be competitive and needs quality in return.

After careful consideration I think the ideal 2C that could be available dependent on what they do with their pending UFA's is Anton Lundell.

He has a great 2 way game and his progression will be impeded by Bennett in Florida if he's re-signed. Which makes me believe that he could be had for a futures package alone, with which Montreal is best served to offer.

He makes perfect sense imo. Young, solid contract, solid game with greater upside yet to come. Cup winner to boot. If available he should be the target.

If Florida puts him on the market I have no doubt Hughes will be all over it. He's the perfect fit for the team.

They aren't trading Him. He's a stud player who florida already made clear is their future. Bennett will also take a discount

Perhaps, I'd be hesitant to trade him as well, but it seems to me he'd be wasted on the 3rd line if Bennet re-signs. We'll see what happens.

Panthers have some cap issues that need serious consideration.

Hughes said they're willing to over pay for the right fit, there's no better fit imo. Maybe we make an offer they can't refuse, plus they get their cap worked out.

I like the idea because Florida doesn't need bodies back, they'd be a team that would actually prefer futures in a deal like this. Something we're flush in.

Seattle isn't trading a Young C when they are loaded at D. They have less than Zero reason as their fans have made clear to move him

Seattle are not loaded at D. They are loaded at center. Berniers, Wright, Catton, McCann, Stephenson.

They have a bunch of journeyman D right now. Vince Dunn, Montour, Larsson, Oleksiak.

Ryker Evans is the only interesting young D they have but he's undersized and more of a transition D.

I honestly cant think of the last one for one star for star trade I’ve seen in recent years. The vast majority of trades just don’t work that way. It’s a package for a player. Canucks can ask for whatever they want but the formula for GMs has been set for some time. It’s prospects, picks and a good, but not core roster player.

Outside of Hughes and EP, Vans got nothing. Boesser is as good as gone in the offseason, Demko is a walking LTIR zombie and the rest of the team isn’t doing squat. Canucks will need to rebuild and it’s already started. EP is there to get picks, prospects and cap space, all of which Habs can provide and they’re in the East which is far away from Vancouver.

Vince Dunn isn't a journeyman, lol ? Hes a top pair offensive D, he's just been injured.

C'mon now. Uncle Lou may be senile, but he's not that senile to not instantly match that. Besides that, no way Dobson sign for 7m when Jakob ''Watermelon'' Chychrun got 9m.​
