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

[sheed36]

I think the Leafs can keep Knies...............and we can keep our guys.....
Lots going on, we don't really need Knies do we?? Not for what they want.......

Me too especially after reading some of the ridiculous packages I've seen proposed by Leaf fans for Knies on HF lately.

Adding a Knies to the top 6 would be great addition of course but IMO the priority should be adding a 2nd line center and top 4 RHD and I'd rather Hughes use his expendable assets to address these glaring weaknesses instead first.

The Kordic for Courtnall deals just don't exist anymore.......

I had to google that...and I don't think we want the Habs to pull a Leafs here.

This guy gets it. I dont doubt Kent is working the phones trying to do something that makes sense but im not one bit sad we missed out on a guy like kyrou like we couldnt have topped that offer. Just didn't make sense for us to do so.

we did not miss on kyrou in my opinion, we could have had him from last year. just think they did not try hard enough.

Can't see zary a fit

That was the time of Harold Ballard, heh? One day we'll have to make a topic about HB for the younger generation.

Hopefully Pelley is Ballard v2.0.

 

[MSLs Parabols]

Yes, and we could trade Carrier mid-season if Reinbacher is ready.

I wouldn't mind Carlo as a buy low option, provided he can still play. I don't know if he can, though.

Either Carlo or Ristolainen would IMO come at a reasonable price and fill a massive gap for this team.

 

[morhilane]

Will he overpay the tip to the valet who parks his car?

I'm sure that's something he can afford. Overpaying for Kordic on the other hand...

From Kordic to Bellows...

Every time I watched Calgary the last two years, I thought Connor Zary was criminally underrated and wondered why his coach kept playing him on the fourth line (often as a winger) when clearly, he had better offensive skill than 80 % of their lineup and looked good as a left handed center.

And today, we learn Calgary is trying to trade him for a second (meaning his value is possibly even lower)... Wow. This is one great buy low option.

Xhekaj is today's version of Kordic

Kordic was freaking nuts.

We can find pearls in teams like Calgary that doen't use their roster properlly. You seems to watch the late games if you saw that. Finding players like that is scout's job, I hope Hughes have a good staff for this.

Kent and many fans should stay focus. Habs most pressing needs:

1- 2nd line center
2- Top 4 RHD with some size to play with Hutson

All those teams are going nuts over 60-70pts wingers and blowing all their assets to get them.
Kent don't need to, we already have 3 of those wingers with Demidov, Caufield and Slafkovsky.

If there's no good long term solution, go for short term cheaper plugs and keep our top prospect.
As long as we stay focus on what we need.

I love everything about Columbus.....BUT.....I gotta go

I love everything about everything Columbus.....BUT.....I gotta go

Yeah, thats weird lol

 

[windycity]

Unless he has been a stealth centre , no. Would be a great add except for needing a 2C and RHD more

less of a need for a true 2C if you have Demidov paired with Knies. Then maybe all you need is Kapanen

 

[morhilane]

Why would CJB move Werenski now? The deadline or next off-season seems a better timing considering his contract.

Unless Sasha is right and they are blowing it all up. Can we have Fantilli, pretty please?

We're going to offer sheet Fantilli

And Olivier

Werenski currently has a NMC, next July 1st that changes to a modified NTC (he has to give a 10 team trade list). If he’s not willing to sign a contract with them I wonder if they trade him then.

I love everything about Columbus.....BUT.....I gotta go

Columbus hasn’t won much though in his 10 season there. They’ve won a total of 2 playoff rounds and haven’t made the playoffs in the past 6 seasons. Players want to go somewhere they can win. It’s the same with Larkin.

Who does he replace in the line-up though?

He had a big injury (knee, i think) and hasn't been the same since.
But he's left handed and can play center, so there's that.
At 3.775M for 2 years, that's a bit high if he doesn't rebound.

Maybe as a plan B?

CBJ has plenty of cap room, not a good target for that.
