HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #86: 2023-2024 Season

[AmeriHab]

Toffoli gets traded a lot for a good player

Must be kind of fun to be in playoffs almost every year

RyJo was a f***up and Mac was having none of it? Sounds like it

Mackinnon is a great player but he apparently has ridiculous standards for himself that he pushes on his teammates. Like over the top.

That being said Ryjo was not working out and he has been flakey and underwhelming his whole career.

You are wrong I explained why above.

Capfriendly.com says you're wrong. And, you didn't explain anything....

 

[Bottle Rocket]

I wonder how involved we are in current trade talks. Not so much, selling depth players, finalizing trades like Allen, brokering 3 team trades, working on young guys like Zegras, thinking of adding to Laval, all of the above...

Newhook is not a 2C. He's a middle 6 winger.

Newhook is a winger

I even tagged you in the reply. Capfriendly is my source but you need to lookk further than summary

I mean he's not wrong, Newhook is more of a middle 6 winger

Newhook isn't a #2 center. He's much better as a scoring winger, so I don't see it as a dis. Middlestadt is also almost 3 years older.

Well, hope this gets to Newhook's ears and he takes an in your face kick to it that allows him to reach another gear.

Also, this is my 500th post. Milestone.

Ok, I just saw it. Yeah, if they can LTIR Timmins & Giordano then that opens up $1.9m in space.

Issue with Martin Jones is they would have to waive him to send him back now. He could very well get claimed. With how inconsistent Samsonov has been, and Woll coming off an injury, they might not want to chance losing him.

They're definitely not sending down Reaves or McMann. McMann would also not clear waivers. The only player that can be sent down without waivers is Knies, and they won't do that either.

I wouldn't say $1.9m is a lot of space. Probably why they're looking at Edmundson. They need to stay cheap.

How is that a shot at Newhook?

He sucks?

I don't think it's a shot at Newhook either, but Mittlestadt is definitely a 2C

 

[JoelWarlord]

Don't think that quote has anything to do with Newhook, he's saying they wanted a 2C with team control to fix the problem long-term instead of paying a 1st for a rental.

The Avalanche already made their view on Alex Newhook's ability to be their 2C clear by trading him and immediately trading for two other veteran NHL centers.

I saw somewhere yesterday that Timmins has now been fully cleared to resume playing again but I guess he could have some sort of a "setback" before coming off IR.


They should be able to add Gio to LTIR and save 800k though since it looks like he could be out a while..

Not sure why they gave him that contract. Not only was he clearly trending downwards, he’s so slow. It was never going to really fit with the Avs up tempo style.

The Preds gave him that contract, they retained 50% and traded him for Galchenyuk. I used to like RyJo a lot, the guy was awesome in the playoffs. But man is he lazy and he's got some attitude issues.

 

[le_sean]

Surprised some of these teams aren’t pivoting to Pacioretty. His cap hit is only $2 million and he won’t cost that much to get. He might not be the same player as before, but he’s a solid middle 6 contributor.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Newhook is not a 2C. He's a middle 6 winger.

Newhook is a 2nd line forward at first but he is likely not a centre.
