Proposal: Chaz Lucius for Justin Barron

[De Montreal]

Third consecutive year Chaz Lucius end his season with a significant injury and always a different one. But when healthy, he seems like he has tons of potential. I see a bit of Pacioretty in him and he would slot well in Montreal top 6 in the future.

He is a bit buried behind Barlow, Perfetti, Lambert, McRoargty, Chibrikov in Winnipeg though.

They need help on the backend and I think Justin Barron could be a good bottom pairing puck mover for them. His potential is not as good as Lucius but he proved he could hang on in the NHL. They also have some familiarities with him because of his brother Morgan.

Montreal need to move a dman.

Any thoughts on this?

I don't know Lucius well enough to decide.

I would offer Jets Struble, their first back for Perfetti though? Jets too small on back end. Doubt Dillon be back. Struble young physical mobile D.

Value aside, the last things habs need is another injury prone player

Why would the Jets sell low on a 21 year old first round draft pick because he got hurt?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

The Jets say no to every proposal here. Chevy doesn’t trade his prospects. Ever.

 

[malcb33]

Montreal is in a position to make a hockey trade (or two) for one of their young D, but IMO it needs to address the log jam on the left side, which trading Barron doesn’t do.

I think Struble or Harris are further along in development right now than Barron, but Barron might be more sexy being a former 1st round pick.

D from Montreal for F from Winnipeg makes sense, but figuring out exactly who for who is going to be harder.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I think this draft is closer than Barron for Perfetti, so getting closer.
What bout xhek or Hutson for Chaz?
A big tough D to replace Dillion in exchange for a prospect that has top 6 potential and was picked in last 3 years.

Jets doesn't have any prospects that can get Hutson.

That’s fine.

 

[Snowman]

There's no incentive for the Jets to sell low at this time.

 

[pth2]

Maybe a better question would be which of those Winnipeg forwards has a link to Hughes.... was he the agent for any of them ? If so, it might give a clue about who Montreal will be asking about, and from there we can figure out which Montreal defenseman would have similar value.

Is t Hutson your 4th best d prospect behind mailloux, reinbacher, and Ghule and if our best prospect isn’t good enough for your 4th best D prospect I can’t really see there being a match.

How Guhle a prospect??? And Hutson is ahead of Mailloux

Guhle is part of the top 4 on the NHL team. So, not a prospect.

Let's not get bogged down comparing players' abstract value or placement on a list. But I think it's fair to think Barron, Struble and Harris would be available. I suspect Harris is the most likely to get moved, since he's progressed enough for GMs to be comfortable that he's an NHLer, though he'll never be a big point producer. Which of those Winnipeg forwards would have similar value ?

I imagine that jets would be willing to trade Iafallo who was on our pp, our pk,as well time in our top 6 because he was so good at puck retrieval even though he will never be a big point producer.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Lucius' trade value has certainly dropped but not as low as Barron's yet. Unlike Barron who loses waiver exemption this summer and isn't making the NHL, Lucius is still exempt until 26/27. Lucius is more like Gabe Vilardi from a few years ago.

 

[Scintillating10]

Jets hard up against cap with Hellebucyk and Scheifele do big raises. Then Dillon and Demelo are UFA. Like to get Perfetti out of them for one of our young D. They need defense and caproom. Habs have plenty of both.

No interest in Hutson anyway.

 

[overlords]

I would never want anyone named 'Chaz' on the Canadiens.

I would argue McGrourty but I think both teams keep their guys
