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

[The Great Weal]

God I really hope there's a Kapanen+ for Lundell trade. FLA recoup some picks, get someone that can fit their bottom 6, and still got Rodrigues to help out Kapanen at center if needed. Hell they may even be ok with trying Monty again.

 

[Ozmodiar]

One good thing for ottawa here … brady was a terrible captain. Immature frat boy mentality.

They can use the cap, use the picks and put an adult in charge of the leadership group.

6 of Florida's 12 forwards are 30 or older. 5 of their 6 defensemen are 30 or older (and the 6th is 29) They also no longer have Bobrovsky.

Florida doesn't scare me anymore.

Yep, we've had their number the last few seasons. I know in the playoffs it'd likely be a different story, but we're on 2 different trajectories.

I don't know why people don't remember this. Sabres had just started knowing who they are. Panthers weren't there. Toronto will be better, no matter what people think. Sure, if nothing is done (which I doubt), Ottawa won't be there...but we HAD to think we'd be ahead of them no?

We are where we still are....with the addition of Panthers. We have to change our team. 2nd C, 4th RD, better bottom 6. If not....we could probably be where we were...or might not be surprise to see us with a step back...

This this and more this. I yelled and shouted this all season. The Panthers will be back!!! I said it 20 times. The Carolina Hurricanes couldn't beat the Panthers an then without them in the picture, they win the cup!

We need to add some size with talent and toughness or we won't go anywhere in this division, this is the hardest win in hockey.

Our defense is too one dimensional.

Our forward group needs some size.

I would love a pitch for Tom Wilson to join Montreal, that's a guy we could really use.

They will probably trade for Hellebuyck and make Winnipeg retain half his contract lol

For a top 20 protected 1st in 2035

 

[Deus ex machina]

I just went to check and yup, he's really taking credit for this @Runner77

He wasn't wrong though.

Unconfirmed video of Brady meeting his new Florida teammates for the first time.

Florida is gonna be a huge pain in the ass team to play against.

 

[ExpatHabs]

He wasn't wrong though.

The whole league was on this beat. Damico tried to pull this off with the Dobson trade too.

 

[Jaynki]

They've already won two cups and they're not stopping... I just want to win one!

I definitely wouldn't want to trade too many futures now before we know what this team is really made of. Caufield for instance lost a lot of credit with me with his playoff play. If he has another stinker playoffs he should be dealt with. We won't be able to keep running it back and hitting the same wall. FLA traded their "best" forward Huberdeau and it changed their entire fortunes. I think that's the real lesson here.

Now we talk!

Brady Tkachuk going to Florida changes the landscape. Panthers plan to run over teams to get the Cup so Habs and MSL better adjust to meet that. MSL , meet Arber.

I saw that Ottawa was only getting a bunch of picks, that cant be right can it ? So hard rebuild ? Look at Cozens if they are doing that.

Sadly Brady isn't that good looking

Don't worry...Jayden will take both bros...together.

If they don't flip 9 for a player that franchise is done

Arbor sits though

 

[TT1]

looks like Ottawa's going for a rebuild, Zub would be a great pickup for us, hes super underrated

The level of negativity on this board is total madness. It really is crazy.

 

[LesCactus]

This move just forced the hand of every playoff team in the east. Will be seeing a lot more moves than usual.

 

[Natey]

Pagnotta being a joke aside.

With the news Vancouver willing to retain 3m. If the acquisition cost was our first this year and a prospect like Beck. Would we be willing to gamble that EP40 as a 2C might be better in a less expansive role and if it doesn't work down the middle, he can be a strong wing trigger man for Demi?

Or do we hold our cards and wait and hope for a better fit to materialize knowing it may be 2 seasons or more.

1st, Hage, Beck, Gally, Engstrom.

EP @ $8.5M + Hronek.

Figure out the cap after.

It's a lot. But we would literally solve two positions in one trade for years.

 

[Saundies]

Yeah I'm thinking they will. Would TOR trade them Knies? (it was rumored then wanted a top 10 pick plus).

 

[LesCactus]

I have complete faith in the Habs to still make the finals in the next couple seasons. It just got a little harder, but by no means is the window over.

EP is not worth that. Kapanen, Engstrom, a prospect and a 1st. Or replace Hage with Kapanen in your deal.

 

[vokiel]

Pens look like they need a backup Goaltender: Monty + Gallagher to Pitts for Letang.

Letang -> Robidas Island.

Is why he has 2 fists.

 

[Whitesnake]

There should be an adjustable salary cap. Adjusted based on taxes paid.

 

[LesCactus]

I really do hope we sign Eeli Tolvanen for our bottom 6 now. 20 goal scorer plus had 170+ hits the last couple seasons.
