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

[Spearmint Rhino]

Interesting....



CJ said the Hellyebuck to Florida thing is still a possibility.

Of course it is and they won’t give up anything for him that will hurt.

...can't believe I'm actually posting this, but:


...do we actually consider an EP40 trade now??...like 2026 1st (28th overall) + Gallagher + Engstrom/Roy/whatever B one we want to get rid of??...


...


...I know; I just puked in my mouth a bit thinking about it...

Losing their third best player hurts but at the same time I seriously doubt they don't move those first round picks for a top 6 forward and potentially a really good one

I’ve seen a few analysts suggest someone like Jason Robertson. I could definitely see Ottawa making a move for a player like that.

On the Chris Johnston show he said that his understanding that Robertson has no interest in signing an extension with Ottawa.

McTavish to Ottawa seems like it has some traction.

I guess they wouldn't be as obsessive about his warts as the Habs seem to be, given the different playstyles.

So which top6 forwards are there that fit the Habs?

Money talks. If Robertson hits RFA and finds out he’s not worth as much as he thinks, Ottawa has the money to make something happen. Most Canadian teams have to overpay to get players to come or stay. Not saying it will happen but it’s definitely a possibility.

My sources tells me that the street on the word is perchance if a maybe all it takes it’s one phone call, as reported by that one shady reporter Spagghetio on twitter

Also, Kyrou to Sens in the coming days

My source which is my gut tells me that Habs will make a deal for a player no one is talking about. Habs office doesn’t leak any info. The walls are tight.

The issue is Dallas would probably want the 9th pick from this year's draft as part of the deal and that becomes before Robertson becomes a RFA. The rumour was that Dobson was offered more money from Columbus but he wouldn't sign an extension with them past one year and wanted to play in Montreal so money isn't always the main reason a player chooses a team. I think Robertson as an American has played his entire career in the US will want to stay in the US

Sens did well. Brady is a fraud and #9 this year will be as good as him in 2 years.

Did well?
They don't even get an actual roster player back in return lmao..

If they can flip the picks for a roster player that can replace Brady’s production, then it will be considered a good deal. Brady wanted out and so did the team.

Dobson had a destination he wanted to go to and he was willing to handcuff his team to get what he wanted. Robertson could potentially do that, but from all the rumours I’ve read it’s really only a money dispute with Dallas right now and not really about preferring to leave. I think the likelyhood that he would listen to anyone making high offers on a contract if Dallas isn’t going to give him what he wants are pretty high whereas Dobson wanted to come to Montreal so bad that he was willing to take less money and twist New York’s arm to make it happen. I don’t see that happening with Robertson. I could see him taking less to stay in Dallas if it’s not about money.

Money maybe an issue but if someone like Detroit or Columbus make an extension similar to Ottawa, I would see Robertson choosing them over Ottawa
