[Gandalf The Habs Fan]

Should we target Barzal for our two 1st plus a prospect.

Hes right handed tho, we should target a left shot center

You'll only succeed in pissing off Lou. I'd advise against it.

 

[Vachon23]

I think if they still wanted to get Trevor Zegras, he would already have been traded here at the TDL

 

[Colezuki]

I mean I'd propose both 1sts, + Mailloux and Roy for Barzal

Roll out Suzuki line for defensive matchups ala barkov and then roll offensive dynamo line of
Demidov - Barzal - Laine following

And he’s not a center

I recommend not posting this on the main boards.

That's a lot for a 2nd line center. Horvat was traded for Beauvilier, Raty and a 1st. Pretty much the equivalenent of Heineman, Beck and a 1st.

[edit]

I thought there was only one year remaining on barzal contract there's 3 so different situation still i personally think he's a bit overrated. He was very good a couple of years ago but he's been kind of meh for a while now.

Demidov-Suzuki-Marner
Laine-Mctavish-Slaf

Easy as 1 2 3. Sucks to lose Cole, but Marner is a clear upgrade.

Two first in this draft is nothing over-enticing. It's basically 2 futures for which you don't even know if they'll surpass an AHL career.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Ryan O'Reilly and his 2 years left on his contract would be the perfect stop gap center.
Hughes already traded with Nashville.

Would love to see this along with signing Ehlers (Laine’s buddy). They could use his speed and scoring.

CC - NS - Slaf
Ehlers - ROR - Demi
Newhook - Beck/Kapanen - Laine
Anderson - Evans - Gally
Heineman

Our window is not 5 years though it's going to be a 10-12 years window, Got to plan ahead we'll need help when Suzuki will get older and Hutson/Demidov will be in the middle of their prime. I think it's a bit early to trade all our picks for a guys who's been dealing with injuries for a few years and have been up and down. If we gonna trade future i'd like the player returning to not be over 26.

Ive said it before but a massive package to get ROR and FF9 would make us insta-contenders.

I wonder what it would take.

You'll need to trade roster players for that to happen.

I want to see Laine with Demidov. He needs a playmaker on his line to be effective. Whos gonna pass him the puck if hes on a line with newhook and beck

Winning once is the priority, lets see after.

Then i'd go with a less expensive stop gap. We are not winning the cup until Demidov and Hutson have a few years of experience. By that point Barzal will be on the wrong side of 30. We need guys like Susuzki you will still be in their 20ies when Hutson will be 23 and Demidov 22.

Expecting to win once before Hutson and Demidov got a few years of exp is foolish.

I agree. Ideally they patch up with the UFA market and keep all their assets, but that's going to be hard regardless. Maybe they can trade Matheson mid-season next season for a stop gap also.

Finding a center is always hard you can ask Marc Bergevin

This said KH found a potent "middle 4" RHD very easily for not much so who knows?

 

[TomKosto]

Can the "reborn" Josh Anderson have some suitors and fans in the NHL trade market or will Kent Hughes burn his mulligan and fail to strike on this opportunity for a second time?

I'm thinking VAN might be interested in adding some beef to their middle6.


TOR will have too much cap space to be challenged on Knies. Tavares, if he stays, will get less than his current cap hit of 11m.

You want us to have the softest offense in the league?! Josh is not going anywhere, don’t need a late first anyways.

Hutson and Demidov are not the average player. The 09 pens had Malkin, Staal and Letang all on less than 3 years, same for Chicago.

The variance between drafts outside of the top-5/10 isn't that significant most years. This is generally seen to be a more below average draft, but much closer to average than below.

 

[LaP]

Hutson and Demidov are not the average player. The 09 pens had Malkin, Staal and Letang all on less than 3 years, same for Chicago.

Pens won the cup in Crosby's 4th season and Malkin's 3rd season and if we are being honest that was one of the youngest core to win a cup. That would means us winning in 27-28 (Hutson's 4th season and Demidov's 3rd season). By that point Barzal would be 31 and this is the best case scenario.
