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

[vokiel]

Lets claim Cale Fleury... Because why not?

 

[vokiel]

2C target -> William Karlsson?

Good? Bad? Meh?

 

[sampollock]

I bet KH has done so deep digging to set up at the draft of getting a 2C

 

[Heffyhoof]

Montreal should be adding a long term centre because in two years Hage likely won't yet be a high-end NHL centre. Hage and a top-15 pick is worth a lot and not in terms of the usual quantity offers.

 

[Jabba11]

Matthew Beniers a good target?

 

[Miller Time]

Matthew Beniers a good target?

Great young player...

Unrealistic target (zero reason for Seattle to trade him and the cost would be massive)

They aren't trading him.

0 reason why Duchene would leave Dallas.
Dallas are a good team , im sure hes willing to take less to stay there.
He's found his home. Not the face of a franchise will retire in a couple of years.

Anyways we need more than patching for 2 years. We need someone for 5+ years

I get the sense Duchene likes it there but Dallas isn't rich with cap space. MTL has lots of it & that could entice him enough to sign

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

If we try get something from the ruins of the Rangers, any trust that Trochek would bounce back if he could be available for a modest price?

I just think that there are far too many teams trying to find a 2C this summer that finding a stop gap and hoping for an eventual internal solution is the correct approach.

And at 5.6 Trocheck would not prevent Habs from pouncing into an oppotunity if a young potential center would suddenly become available during the season.

Schneider maybe?

His buyout money is ending, he's been taking 3 mil from Dallas but getting 8 total. He's really trying to win a cup but he's not going to take the same discount three times in a row. He's had one of his most productive years this season and is turning 35, I doubt he gives up a 4 year deal that pays a lot to take one more discount year where he potentially puts up 40 points and then doesn't get offered anything substantial next summer in addition to not being desirable for contenders if he falls off.

If he ever becomes a top 6 center

Lundell, if florida keeps Bennett?

 

[CzarDemidov]

Dylan Cozens would’ve been a great addition due to his size and handiness and position. He could’ve covered for Laine, he could’ve been paired with Slaf for a Géants line, he could’ve been used all throughout the top9.

Josh Norris is not a particularly valuable player and this whole thing about saying the Habs didn’t have the pieces to acquire Cozens is bogus.

Anyway it’s not a complaint as much as it is a question of finding another player who checks all the boxes.

And Dallas has great Centre depth. Also, they havent extended him yet so they are either waiting to seasons end, or they arent interested.

Yeah I wanted Hughes to trade for Cozens. He could have put a better offer on the table.

 

[BergevinBurner]

I'm not sure if we could have. Apparently they wanted a top 6 forward back and from Montreal they were asking for either Slaf or Caufield. Obviously we weren't moving them and outside of our 1st line we don't have any true top 6 players we could've traded for Cozens.

Caufield - Slaf is a ridiculous rumor. They both worth a lot more than Norris (who is always injured) . You convince buffalo to take Beck and you add draft pick to that.

I don’t believe this. Broken Josh Norris is nowhere close to Slaf or Caufield.

This is more BS cope from Montreal fanboys who need to always blame the trade market for when MTL whiffs on a big trade.

Who would you have offered for Cozens knowing they didn’t want prospects not in the NHL or picks?

Don’t think Dach had any value in that type of trade

I’m not in the trade calls I don’t know what they wanted and why. I do know Josh Norris is not a particularly valuable player or trade asset. He’s damaged goods and has a big contract. Hughes could have beaten the trade if he wanted to — I’m not complaining as much as I’m wondering how we can pick up another player who checks the boxes like Cozens.

I agree, I would’ve liked him.

There might be some relatively young players available in the off season that we don’t know could be available yet.

 

[salbutera]

How? Who was the Habs Josh Norris?

Once Dach got injured HuGo didn’t have the NHL ready asset Buf wanted

 

[salbutera]

Buf made it clear they wanted young NHL experienced player of similar pedigree

Beck , plus our two 1st round pick would have been a much better return for cozens compare to Norris and Bernard Docker. They could have flip the picks to get another center if thats what they wanted
