HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread 92 Waiting on the DRAFT Edition
- Thread starter MarkovsKnee
- Start date
Cant wait to see which good players GMs are gonna made available for mid first rounders/medium prospect, I don't see a lot. Only young guys available for trades are thoses struggeling like Dach/Newhook, a guy like Cozens was available for same reasons. GMs dont trade top players for fun. It's gonna be an other bet a la Dach/newhook pretty sure, there's not an other Rantanen case going into next season.
Dach was a great gamble that was paying off until his knee was destroyed. He looked like the answer for the second line for the next 5-10 years. The other two were bad from the getgo. I hope they try for more players like Dach. At some point we can't always be unlucky with injuries.
“I think there’s a lot of ways to go about continuing to improve our team,” Hughes said. “If we’re successful this summer, the player or players that come are here for now to help open our window and extend it well into the future. And I guess there’s other scenarios where there’s certain players that could come now while we’re waiting for other players to develop.”
Seems they're open to bring in a temporary, older fix.

There aren't any perfect moves, that's most likely going to be the least costly one if he makes it to UFA.
We absolutely need to have that non-problem.
Agreed that Drouin wasn't a center. That's my whole point and his defense was still better than Zegras's. Have you seen Zegras's offensive stats the last two years? The Habs are likely going to prioritize getting a true center this offseason and are going to be willing to trade signficant assets to get one. They're not going to take a flyer on Zegras which is basically a Hail Mary pass.
If they ever trade for Zegras, it will be as a low cost reclamation project but not as the pure center they so highly covet.
We definitely banked too hard on him being the answer at 2C
We've had him for 3 seasons now and he has never been effective at C.
Gifting him the 2C spot for the bulk of the year and not searching for any challengers or replacements over the past 2 seasons is the main reason this team was terrible for the first half of the year. We would be firmly in a playoff spot right now if we pulled the plug on the Dach experiment early in the year when it was clear he was hurting the team out there
They were clearly looking at Zegras for the wing and not center. According to Gascon, after Habs took Demidov, they no longer targeted Zegras. Since Demidov is a winger, logic dictates that Zegras was a target for the wing.
We had Monohan during Dach's first two seasons. Dach wasn't really gifted the 2C position until this year when he was coming back from a significant injury.
Given how hard it is to acquire a potential top 6 center, the trade for 21-year old Dach and his pedigree (#3 overall pick, Captain for Team Canada WJC team, a big playoff series for the Blackhawks at age 19) was one I'd do every day of the week. He still might bounce back as a valuable contributor on the wing. He was really good in his first season with the Habs and may have been the best player in the exhibition games of his second season before suffering the injury.
Lots of bad luck.
Sometimes injuries happen.
Boston place banked on Marc Savard being their no. 1 C.

Hughes keeps talking about overpaying for a big time player. I'm scared to see what they give up.
I'm not scared, I'm ready.
Habs have a lots of picks and B prospects, overpaying could just be a reference to moving more of them and not necessarily moving a top 6/top D roster player to get what he wants.
I get it some people here want a 2nd C until Hage is ready but we gotta make a move this summer , we cant simply wait 2-3 years until hes ready or will he be to begin with.
Duchene Granlund Schenn are not players we should be targeting first at all.
Zegras f***ing sucks , id rather sign dvorak for 900k than paying this overrated center
Crosby its all great and good but hes old . He's turning 38 this summer. That's not a move we need. I will never say he's washed but injuries and age are a thing.
William Karlsson could be interesting but his injury scares me
Kyrou is a pipedream
Bennett wouldnt need any asset for him even tho he never had 50 points once in his career and might cost 8m~
Horvat is a Prime target 3 more years at 8.5m turning 30 in 2 weeks. NYI should rebuild
Beniers could be a target , having a rough season , young player
Zibanejad could be a target 3 more years , Ranger fans hates him. Wouldnt cost alot.
Also if Hugues is not interested to give the big buck to a guy like Marner if he's testing FA. Then Hugues has no vision
Mitch Marner his PPG career regular and playoffs. Not a Center but players like him are insanely rarely available.
We could easily get Marner and trade for 1 of the center I listed.

The main reason they were bad at the beginning of the season was the time it took them to adapt to the new defensive system. And no Laine.
Dobson may already be signed and Lou the senile old fool won't announce it until he has everyone signed that he is interested in signing.
Marner would be my main target as well. Players of his level don’t reach free agency. You have to take a shot and solve the other problems later.
Barzal is a centre, not sure why you think he’s not.
He also speaks French. Just saying.
Beniers isn't having a round season. He has rebounded and become really good again, Seattle isn't trading their 1c . Crosby isn't getting traded, nor waiving. Horvat isn't getting traded, as Islanders didn't sign him long term to trade him and Lou is still their GM so that's never happening. Zib isn't waiving.
He's signed til 2030-2031.
Concerning Mitch Marner,
How is it conceivable that the Habs could sign him for a 13 million a year, 7-year contract,
Given that Toronto has certainly already offered a 13 million a year, 8-year contract?
