HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #92: Waiting on the Draft edition

[Egresch]

If UFA like Duchene is available we should try same tactics as Tampa with Guentzel. Trade 3rd for his rights, so we can talk to him exclusively before July 1st. Give him 6M for 2 years that would compensate the tax gap.

No chance he'd accept that. Probably needs to be like 8x4.

No way Savard is back as a player. He can’t skate.

 

[sampollock]

NO big ufa will be out their by the summer for us....
book it

 

[Sterling Archer]

Savard will also be resigned as 7th D and help mentor Redenbacher IMO

I don’t think so. He’s done. He’s so slow and ineffective except at having the puck hit him. Kids aren’t so kid anymore. Bring in another vet who can play a shut down roll and move on.

Bro doesn't have 4 years left in his career. He's also not the guy to pay to be "the guy". Every time he's "the guy" he falters. Every time he's secondary scoring he overachieves. We've got a decade + of proof that shows he doesn't face adversity well.

Who said anything about him being the guy? He's not going to dethrone Suzuki or Caufield (and arguably Slaf and Demidov) offensively. He's playing the best hockey of his career right now, he's not going to accept a 1 year 4 million deal or whatever.

He's playing the best because he's playing with some of the best players in the league, which the Habs have none of currently. He's the type of guy who's numbers have cratered traditionally in Montreal. And his mental fortitude is 1/10. I don't think he'd take a one year deal either but he's going to be going to a very shit team if he wants 4 years on his next deal.

Granlund/Seguin/Marchment are not the "some of the best players in the league". If his mental fortitude is 1/10, Dach/Newhook are in the negatives. He'll be fine next to Demidov and definitely won't be "the guy" like how you said. He'd be in a secondary role like how he is in Dallas. Our drop off after the top line is arguably the worst in the league.

I personally wouldn't bet on a skills guy with a poor playoff resume and knock locker room and culture issues turning 35 but that's me. I'm sure our options will be limited.

He signed 1x3M deal with Dallas last summer. He is 34, I would even give him 3x6M to basically bridge Demidov ELC and give us time to develop Hage/Beck/Kapanen. 2C options will be very limited.

A guy like Matheson or Carier can be leaders too. Davy is done guys.

 

[Benstheman]

I just can’t believe we will still play Matheson or Guhle on the right side next season.

We won’t be making the playoffs while this situation stands.

What do we do with Laine?

Can we trade him next summer retaining 50% and get something decent?

get 92 a real centre
then make a call if to move him

We need real centers to make Laine, Dach and Newhook producing. That’s a lot of guy that can’t contribute by themselves.

This season still has 19 games & potentially more left…

Looks like we traded the wrong RHD to NJ

agree, though if he retires, i could see him as a coach
