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

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.

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 "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.

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?

This season still has 19 games & potentially more left…

Let's be honest, Armia and Dvo could have went for picks. Bad asset management. Savard was kept to please the french media.

Armia had some value, but let be real Dvorak between is play and cap hit there was zero interest and pretty sure Savard wasn’t highly value by other team either… maybe KH set the price too high or had more value to us than what was being offered…

Was reported by multiple sources, Cam Robinson and Lebrun, that Winnipeg was after Savard, and were willing to pay what they paid for Schenn to get him.

I’d have taken that return in a heartbeat if it’s factual. It would have given us 3 second round picks in 2026, which could be used as pieces in other deals or kept for what’s supposed to be a deep draft year.
