Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 - Trade Deadline Approaches

[Legion34]

Hedman makes 7.9M and he won 2 cups playing with Jan Rutta.

Josi won a Norris playing with Dante Fabbro while making 4M.

Tax free markets. Crazy how they always seem to be underpaid

So buy low candidate Dvorak? Were those first 4 years a mirage and he was always a turd?

He's trash, no thanks

He's played on some bloody bad teams

I guess the question you ask is can he do a job with better talent surrounding him or not?

 

[TMLAM34]

He’s better than Holmberg so he’d instantly be an upgrade.

Not saying he’d be my top choice, but he’s not trash.

We need to start thinking about 2nd pairing RHD.

If we can run

McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - X
Ekman-Larsson - Timmins/Myers/Benoit

Then we have the best defence we have had in the Matthews era.

 

[sxvnert]

Rather sign Ehlers at 8-8.5m this summer than marner at 13-14m.

Ehlers Matthews Nylander
Knies Tavares McMann
Domi Minten Cowan
Lorentz Kampf Dewar

Not sure what’s really available out there,

Ristolainen, Andersson, Murphy, and Carlo.

Those are probably the 4 names that could potentially be available due to the teams they’re on and that would be an upgrade on what we have.

Murphy @ 2.2m (50%) with one yr left is the perfect guy. Hopefully he had a good relationship with McCabe and would be willing to extend long term once it's done.

lYou really compare him to a healthy scratch player when no injury? really?

Did you ever watch him play, i'm from QC and every habs fan just hope to get rid of him because he's bring absolutly nothing to the game... Even at 50% he doesn't deserve to spend 2,225 M of cap space on him

That healthy scratch player is currently in our lineup and has played in well over half our games. Dvorak would be an upgrade over Holmberg, technically making us a better team.

Again though, he would not be my first choice but if he’s all we can get for a cheap cost it’s better than nothing.

i'm better use my cap hit and asset in something else who's really upgrading the team. Dvorak would not having much more impact than Holmberg...

Devo would be a nice PTO/1yr in the summer.

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

Good on the draw. Pks, and had some NHL caliber offensive years. But 9g in the last 6 games.

OR

Another top-4 d, regardless of handedness

Rielly-McCabe
XXX-Tanev
OEL-Timmins/Myers
Benoit

McCabe is good on right, but better on left. I'd look to take a swing and get someone good with term for the right side.
