HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread: From Here to Free Agency

[Sahabs]

Now that there’s a lot of team all over Knies, the leafs could get a haul. He’s the exact type of players GMs drool over, and 1 or 2 of them could do stupid things to acquire him. Especially with him being signed long term and at a team friendly cap hit.

Maybe our chance to get him was at the deadline when it was under the radar.

Since they seem to want to revamp their Defense, they’ll probably ask for Guhle++. Which we obviously shouldn’t do.

Nice move by the Sabres, let's do the same with 28+Struble

We moving back ino the 2nd round?

They can have him

Would entertain trading Guhle for Knies since this management prefer Matheson.

 

[domiwroze]

Guhle, Dach 1st, could you imagine the Leafs fans reaction that would be fun

 

[Bacchus1]

If we attach players like Engstrom and Kapanen to that pick, we should be able to move up at a decent spot. LA could be a prime candidate for a move up if we decide to move Kapanen. Same thing with Florida if they prefer to accumulate assets instead of only picking one guy. Better draft your 2C instead of trading for a shitty one. Bjorck would be awesome and is close to being ready

Viggo Bjorck? Aren't you worried drafting a high pick (most have him going to 10) who is only 5'9 and 181 LBS? We need some bigger players who can't be boxed out so easily. We don't need a giant necessarily, but we so have too many players on the small side.

We absolutely do Guhle+++ for Knies like even if its two 1st and Pickford

Way easier and way less dangerous to give Guhle than it is to give Zharovsky imo

Knies for Guhle + 2027 1st + 2028 1st + Pickford?

Come on now that’s ridiculous.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Unless its much older player(s), a top pair D ++ is crazy.

It only makes sense to go for a potrential top d. Reinbacher, Kapanen and a 2nd is a decent offer

Not a chance. Not giving up 2d. Guhle and a 1st is enough.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Not enough Pierre-Luc talk in this thread.

He’s been injured forever, need to see him come back to form again before I entertain any of that. We could be looking at Dach with an 8 mil contract

Easily.

There is barely a better fit than him out there

I just don't see why the Leafs would trade Knies now unless they are going for a full rebuild to build around McKenna, which would include finding trades for Matthews, Nylander, and Tavares as well, and if they make that decision they need to try damn hard to get their picks back

They chose the coach to make those guys happy.

Knies is still being traded because Toronto is incompetent and they see this as their only way to get good quick. They don't want to miss the playoffs the next two years.

(They will.)

Guhle will end up the much better player if he can stay healthy - his health and our LHD depth would make him expendable but that's even more pressure to find physical D-men

I'm really hoping our mgmt/coaches blind love affair with MM comes to an end before his NTC kicks in shortly

Fully agree - yet, when there's so many reports, generally there's something behind them...

But it's not necessarily good news either. What if Knies is a problem in the room? It suspicious. If I'm Toronto I keep him and play him with McKenna and try to build from that...

They may get 80 games out of that package.

 

[sampollock]

TSN is wetting figs on helly

 

[sampollock]

Trading knies and yet figs say they are in winning mode

 

[Wats]

Top pair D > Knies if same age...unless they think Guhle is top pairing lol

 

[KevSkillz4]

I will go all in for Knies.

Zharovsky + Guhle + 1st.

The only players I would sacrifice Zharovsky is for Knies and Robertson with extension. If not, keep Zharovsky.

 

[Canadienna]

I thought this back when they almost traded Knies at the deadline, and then again now that he's reportedly on the block.

What is wrong with this player? This is typically what it looks like when a team is trying to move a guy, not just listening to calls.

Is it his post injury play or medical related? Character? Requested a trade? Why would they be so keen to move on from a young homegrown player on a cost controlled deal?

Probably they think he's a product of Matthews/Nylander and will never eclipse his current value. His metrics show most leafs have better stats without him on the ice.

If all Knies costs is Guhle++ we should absolutely do it.

Guhle is out for us right now. His spot in the top 4 has been taken by Matheson for at least the next 2-3 years.

It would depend on what ++ means obviously (if it's Guhle + Hage + Pickford, whatever, then hell no) but if Guhle is the main piece I'm driving him to the airport myself.
