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

[Rapala]

Did you mean AHL? Or does he think Engstrom has no NHL future?

He thinks Reinbacher has an NHL future but he also thinks he still has work to do at the AHL level before that happens.
You can never tell with Kids he may show up at camp and surprise everyone.

He's played the equivalent of 1 full pro season over 3 years.

Makes sense

 

[vcb]

So does that mean were ready to admit Matheson is bad?

Why are you so disingenuous?

Whats the downside in acquiring Kesselring here? They literally got paid to take him lol.

Matheson is lightyears ahead of Kesselring lmao

 

[Paddy17]

You wouldn't need to add a first round pick to Guhle for Knies. It'd be B assets coming with Guhle, who's already a huge piece for the Leafs. One could argue he's almost the defensive equivalent of Knies up front.

Also, no way is McTavish worth Reinbacher. He's been scratched during the season and even more in the playoffs.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Why would Chicago trade him away?

They’re desperate for a LHPMD which we just happen to have redundancy on and we can also package a veteran RHD to replace him.

I realize that’s 2 local boys moving out but Crevier is at least worth 1.5 given his size.

We will down a quart on Quartexx clients so will have to bring a couple more in.

 

[Rapala]

He does until some here start flexing their keyboard muscle and he f***’s off as he should.

Yeah that was a short lived experience. Gee I wonder when we've seen that before.

 

[Rapala]

You guys think we'll be disappointed in HuGo? Everybody and their dogs think we'll make a splash.

A number of regulars have weighed in suggesting we probably won't be getting a 2C for starters.
I'm one of them and I'm pinning my hopes on fixing the RD problem.
The major issue we have is that neither Matheson nor Guhle can play on their weak side which totally sucks.
We need to move one or the other for the right piece.

 

[waffledave]

Sure but it doesn't have to be, you could pay less if you can put someone there whose cheaper/durable and use Guhle to address more impactful positions on your roster (top 6, top 4).

Just an idea

I was talking about Matheson.

 

[HFFO]

We're sorry Brian Savage

 

[GrandBison]

I need to know... is it time to freak out yet?

SHOOOOOT THE PUCK!

Unless we have another trade lined up, we are in no position to be trading Guhle.

Works for him too

 

[Runner77]

Ok. I think this is the moment you finally tell us how he hit on your Romanian girlfriend.

Wish I had one.

Since I never had one, I’ll have to defer to @jaffy27

 

[Runner77]

Is this guy a fraud?

He’s broken some stuff but he’s been guilty of using “info” from people with a vested interest and not consulting other sources to vet it.

He’s not at the low end of the spectrum like HockeyInsiderrrr but he is very thin-skinned and will get confrontational with users who challenge him on X.

He’s had some mainstream inroads, doing the Habs pre-game show on 690 and contributing to several shows on 91.9 FM. He’s been part of a season long prospects podcast with a host from 91.9 FM and a minor league expert.

Step 1 : Gallagher and midpick or equivalent prospect to Vancouver for future considerations

Step 2 : Guhle, Dach and 2027 1st (top 10 protected) to Toronto for Knies

Step 3 : Carrier and 2026 1st for Whitecloud

Step 4 : Sign Greer

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield
Knies-Kapanen-Demidov
Newhook-Evans-Bolduc
Greer-Danault-Anderson
*Texier

Hutson-Whitecloud
Matheson-Dobson
Engstrom-Reinbacher
*Xhekaj, Struble

Dobes
Fowler

Step 5 during the season if needed : Kapanen and one of Hage or Zharovsky for a top 6 center.

We absolutely need a 2C that isn't McTavish because I'm not sure he's a upgrade over Kapanen especially for the $

We have to quickly identify some teams that might be willing to rebuild, perhaps the Preds and just go strong on ROR even at his age.

Centers won't grow on trees, not this year and not next

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Why do I get the feeling it's EP40 szn.

 

[Mrb1p]

Can we convince them to trade him to us?

Can you imagine this guy walking around in Montreal at 6’8”. He will have to go full incognito 24/7.

6'6 didnt stop Obyrne from snatching purses

 

[waffledave]

Truth is there are very few real insiders. Teams don't leak stuff unless they want it leaked, and in that case there's usually some kind of shenanigans at play so you can't trust it too much. I have it legit contacts on the team, like senior staff members who were in my wedding party, and hell Geoff Molson went to my high school. And they don't tell me anything, they take that stuff really seriously.

So I don't trust very many insiders at all. They hear bits and pieces and make vague statements based on that.

It's HockeyyInsiderr his name. 2 Y and 2 R. You put some gawd damn respect on his name.

He's better than that D'Amico guy.

Gally goes the other way.........for starters.
His age does fit our timeline.....not sure how I feel about EP40.

Pretend to have sources.............that's what cracks me up.

As you say, when there are leaks, it's usually planned leaks.....and it can be total BS.
Speculation is what we all do........and those clowns get paid to do it.

GOod point and rarely do Friedman spread rumours. He is breaking the news, its very different.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Canes win the cup and their thread celebrating the win is 15 pages. In the same span we have gine from 124 pages to 213 in a speculation thread.

Get help Habs fans.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I heard something massive is in the works, strap in folks. This is gonna crash this board for a few days.

Holy f*** man.
