Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Part 77

[sampollock]

Not that El Cloun’s word is worth anything, but Price would probably LTIRetire. Keep his money but cant play because of his knee/hip

Who is this dude that has so much insight supposedly

 

[ReHabs]

I'd rather sign Giroux who can play center and rw. Plus, he is younger.

If Giroux wants to play for the Habs I’d love him

 

[morhilane]

Who is this dude that has so much insight supposedly

Someone who know people working for the Habs front office in Montréal. He knew about Vinny joining the front office 9 days before it happened for example. He is accurate, as much as "office chat" type information can be accurate.

Any inside info is good

I think he'd prefer Ottawa if he's not going to a contender, they're closer to their opportunity window

The PC with Gorton was really Monday at 11h

I did say he was accurate, but it does sound like "office chat" stuff. Especially the things he posted today.

For Drouin, back in March, he said that some teams inquired about him, but I think Drouin was injured at the time which would have killed a trade.

 

[Kimota]

Not sure if this has been discussed but any chance the Habs could deal for Chychrun? He fits our new core age and would be a good replacement for Petry.

Our first pick for Chychrun and then we switch picks with the Yotes for next year.

 

[windycity]

Any thoughts on using Anderson as bait to get some Toronto goodies? Imo, Leafs are still too soft and they need more grit. So Anderson might be tempting. If so, what should we ask for?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Signing Bergeron would be nice for mentoring Suzuki and Wright, but otherwise, it doesn't make much sense unless we trade Dvorak.
There were rumours that the habs were willing to trade Dvorak at the tdl, so that might be it.

 

[calder candidate]

We should be in the big name UFA only 1 or 2 years deal to upcoming or establish 3rd liner guys that can be trade at the deadline.

Knies or Niemela

Nope.

Most importantly - we don't ever want to help Toronto. Ever.

They don't have the cap space.

figs need to sign a goalie and a d man with no money...

habs will not help them

 

[Vachon23]

I would be interested to see what VGK will do with Nicolas Roy.

He's RFA and VGK doesn't have any cap space

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I can see Letang coming assuming Petry is gone.

I'm not holding my breathe, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bergeron comes. Right when Hughes was hired he mentioned he wanted to bring in a mentor for Suzuki, and mentioned how Recchi was a huge help for Bergeron.

I think the biggest benefit of one or both of these guys coming is we not only add a very good leader, but we could sell Dvorak/Petry and further stock up on picks/prospects.

 

[Hannibal]

Would love to find a way to get PL Dubois. Such a freaking beast.

I think Winnipeg will have to choose between PLD and Schef

If I'm them, I keep PLD. Schef needs to go. He's a reason why the culture inside that locker room is poisonous.

Hughes said that if they do indeed trade Petry, that would help create cap space. But that Habs would look to bring in another veteran D because they don't want to put their young D in positions where they will fail. Meaning they don't want to put a young guy in Petry's spot and hope he can carry the load and that in turn hinders his development.

Letang could be that guy. Or most likely will be someone else.

Letang's rumored asking price in Pittsburgh was 7M. If Habs trade Petry and find a way to not retain salary or take a bad contract back, then Letang will only cost an extra $750K on the cap. You would replace Petry's 6.25 and add Letang's 7M. If that is indeed what he'd sign for IF he signs here.

He wanted 5 years as well. Letang is obviously a very good defenceman right now, but will his play decline in the next 3-4 years as he reaches his late thirties, at the point where the Habs should be starting to compete.

 

[HabsForHire]

Il keep this quick NO to Letang, no need at this time. I'd rather all kids

Yea, if he wants 5 years with Habs, I wouldn't sign him. I'd go 3 at most.

It would be more of a mentorship role. So when the young guys get more experience, if they're able to step up and play those big minutes, that is where you have Letang play a smaller role and eventually don't need him anymore as his deal is done.

If Price goes on LTIR, that will also help with the cap.

And he would run the PP what we absolutely need

I'd also like to see the kids. But as Hughes said, he doesn't want to put them in a position that will hurt them more than help them. He said this in regards to trading Petry. If they end up keeping him, then the young guys will be surrounded by a vet.

But he was saying that if they trade Petry, he doesn't want to force that role and those minutes on a young guy who wouldn't be ready. And that would not help the young guy in his development.
