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

[HabsAddict]

Its pretty clear now that we must not trade Arber!

Are you serious? Hutson and Dobes just need to toughen up...

 

[Nicko999]

I know Ottawa's hands were probably tied. But that seems like a weak return imo.

Yep, 9th overall pick and then the other 1st are pretty late (assuming Florida goes back to their winning ways).

Kirby f***ing Dach got a 13th overall.

 

[Laurentide]

Not interested in DeBrusk whatsoever, personally. My comment had more to do with how pathetic VAN is to want to announce Gallagher as a big splash.

Why not? He's a physical winger who is reasonably priced and exactly the type of sandpaper we need. And to be able to get him practically for nothing (Gally) would be even better.

 

[ExpatHabs]

The idea of Brady Tkachuk has always been better than the reality of him. The Sens have won precisely nothing with him. Last year they played the Leafs and got punked. This year they played the Canes and got punked. Brady is no more impactful to his team's success than Darcy Tucker was for the Leafs. He's a sideshow clown, nothing more.

Would you rather Cole Caufield or Brady Tkachuk on your roster if you had to pick one?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Zero in on Will Cuylle now. I'm prepared to pay the piper.

Given the rumour that the habs were looking at Lafreniere and there were reported talks with Laine going back the other way (and more) the habs and Rangers might be able to make a trade.


Habs need to at least beef up the bottom 6.

The extension for Texier looks even more stupid, but he's cheap and can easily be dealt.

It was a bad trade then and never got better. Hughes got it wrong with Dach.

The cast around him is way better in Fla then OTT

 

[Habs10Habs]

What the f**ck is Ottawa doing? If Brady wanted out, why not start a bidding war and get back some young players to build around?

There has to be more to this because to only get back draft picks no matter how high they are makes no sense. You’re telling me they couldn’t even pry Lundell away ?

FFS…

It was probably a huge distraction for the team. So they took what they could get.

 

[Bolduc of Hazzard]

I doubt Tkachuk would want a trade from OTT to MTL either, I don't think any one is grumbling about that.

It's just that some organizations seem to constantly be active and pro-active and others seem to be more opportunistic and reactive. We've needed a 2C for well over a year now.

Yeah. Like the team that traded for Noah Dobson.

 

[McGees]

Brady went for basically Reinbacher + Beck + Mesar. Thankfully a lot of you are not our GM, wanting to give up more for worse players.

You can’t say that - that’s worst case scenario.
The late first could be Hage.
The late 2nd could be Hutson.
The top pick could be Demidov

Ouch, that really puts things into perspective lol

His fate is to turn into another Gallagher and drop-off sooner rather than later, imo. A lot of PP points... his Pts to PPPts ratio is a red flag.

 

[Laurentide]

Why though?

Ottawa gets weaker, Florida regroups

Florida also has an incomplete roster, no goalies and 7 mill in cap space only, from what i have read at least

Montreal isnt f***ed in my opinion

And Florida isn't getting any younger, plus no Bobrovsky next season.

 

[eklund the clown]

I know Ottawa's hands were probably tied. But that seems like a weak return imo.

They got fleeced.They should have at least got a grade a prospect and a young future star or a really good player and picks.They got nothing but a hope and a prayer of 2 picks in a weak draft

 

[ExpatHabs]

Yeah. Like the team that traded for Noah Dobson.

I recall a lot of outrage here that the great Heineman was dealt for Dobson lol

Some fanbases are just not comfortable with wheeling and dealing and roster churn.

 

[LaP]

Tkachuk x2, Marchand, Bennett, Mikola, etc

Holy shit

Marchand will be 38 next season wont be a problem for long. He is 11 years and a few months older than Suzuki and according to our fans Suzuki's career will be over in 2 years.

 

[sampollock]

And Florida isn't getting any younger, plus no Bobrovsky next season.

And yet they could win a Cup

Agreed, I seriously don't know WTF the Sens were doing here.

 

[Bolduc of Hazzard]

I would pump the brakes until we know who is in net for them. If they do get Hellebuyck like rumoured for a while? Absolutely Cup contenders. If they end up signing Bob again or trust in Stuart Skinner? Nah.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

And yet they could win a Cup

Just need that scum barkov to go down again and they are DONE.

 

[Milhouse40]

The old guard of the East isn't about to hand over the keys just yet. What about Tampa? Surely they will make some moves as well.

The Habs are in tough. Kent Hughes job just got tougher.

Worst case scenario : Kent bring back the exact same line-up that put together a 106 points season and a PO run to the ECF.

But then again, we're still evolving. We'll be better than last year just from what we've learn from it.
Dobes will start next season.....that we learn. Gallagher won't be in the line-up.
Demidov will be better, so is Bolduc and Hutson, Slafkovsky and Kapanen are far from being done getting better

It's not a terrible scenario to me.....

 

[ExpatHabs]

Agreed, I seriously don't know WTF the Sens were doing here.

Given the fact they could've just held onto Brady, you gotta figure they'll make a move or two to improve their roster now with ready roster players. I don't think this is a one-off.

 

[WeThreeKings]

We need to be a destination that NMC players force their way to. That's how you get great players at value.

 

[MarkJ]

Bussi just won the cup.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Watch Ottawa flip 9th overall and other pieces for Matthew Knies now. Rumours are Toronto is trying to trade for another pick in the top 10 to target a D.

If they get Knies and those two other 1st rd picks it's a great overall deal for Brady. If not, yikes!!!
