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

[Vachon23]

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.

That’s now how it works…

They wanted a player that can play top 6 right away and Caufield and Slaf where the only players that could fit what that

They should have take Beck because Norris doesnt play, hes aleays injured

They have a ton of prospects of Beck caliber, they needed someone who can play top 6 right away and we didn’t had to offer. It’s simple as that

Is Norris playing in the top 6?

Yes he is a top 6 player

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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.

First of all according to Sabres fans Cozens is mediocre. They say the 2nd line is much better with McLeod centring it. Kulich is probably better than him as well. Second dumbo Adams wanted an NHL player and not all futures. Norris is a glass body and a stupid acquisition but that was his choice. Habs had no NHL ready forwards to give him much less centres.

Newhook ?

 

[HABitual Fan]

If Montreal trades for Crosby, Price is going to duct tape his knee and play backup.

If Pitt is trading Crosby, they commit to a rebuild and Price goes there to eat 10M in cap on July 1 when his bonus is paid on top of whatever assets are included.

Newhook , Dach

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Newhook ?

I would have taken him over glass body Norris but Adams probably wouldn't.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Newhook , Dach,

Dach was already hurt again. You'd have to pay to get rid of him now. But if he had been healthy Hughes probably wouldn't have been willing to trade him. . Norris, naturally, managed to stay healthy until he was traded.

 

[Mrb1p]

Schneider maybe?

Schneider is mostly a bottom pair D with some upside. Hes a righty which is nice though.

Id do a MM schneider swap any day ot the week though.

But then we have to hope one of Schneider or Reinbachrr can play top 4 with Lane.

Lundell, if florida keeps Bennett?

Florida isn't trading Lundell no matter what

If they want to keep Bennett, Ekblad and Marchand they might have to. If the Habs include a young centre like Kapanen or Beck, they could be enticed.

Personally I’d keep Lundell and not bring back Marchand.

They wont keep Ekblad with the Jones acquisition. Marchand was most likely a rental too, he didnt cost much to acquire, so no big deal for them if he walks.

I would think they’d bring back Ekblad. Jones cannot be trusted as the top pairing RD and they have nothing else on the right side.

Ekblad most likely gonna hit the bank, I’m really not convinced they sign him long term, we will see. Anyway there’s just no reason for them wanting to keep Marchand instead of Lundell. It’s not like they paid premium for the Rat.

That’s what I’ve said. He’s probably not available but who knows, we’ve seen stranger things.

You realize this is Florida and player's have been taking cheap deals right?? Marchand was always a rental for them. Lundell isn't going anywhere because He's exactly what the head coach of Florida loves.


Florida isn't looking to get picks or young players / prospect. They are a win now Championship team. They aren't going to be enticed by anything to move Lundell. They aren't keeping Ekblad either, and if they do, he will take a cheap deal.

 

[salbutera]

Is Norris playing in the top 6?

Yes - 2nd line W

 

[Habitant#1]

Apparently Isaac Howard might be available. Should the Habs be interested?

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Montreal looked burned out to me. Dobes stole them a point. Habs never really brought much to this game. Considering the importance.

 

[waitin425]

Someone mentioned it last night. Imagine if Suzuki went down during a season to injury and our #1 was Newhook or Dach by default?

Priority #1 has to be a legit #2C this off-season.

Their are free options in Duchene or Tavares out there...lets get competitive in the UFA market and get one.

Habs would have drafted #1 oa again!!!!

And everyone would have realized faster that the team sucks...

I mean if you injured Datsyuk or Zetterberg in 2008 the Wings don't come close to the cup. It was literally two forwards carrying the entire forward depth with Lidstrom and Rafalski on the backend.

Oilers are going to get swept in the first round if McDavid and Drai are injured.

Florida have yet to miss the finals since trading for Tkachuk.

Habs went from finals to last place subtracting Price and Weber.

Most teams suck when you take away their best player(s).
