With the way our season is going, it could happen where we sell off Saad and Gus for assets.

However I'm not sure how enticing this is for Chicago. We have a logjam at RD. Boqvist and Mitchell will be on the roster full time next year, Seabrook is immovable, and Juulsen wouldn't be able to beat out Murphy. We also acquired Regula recently who is a similar level prospect. So Juulsen is not someone Chicago would be looking to acquire.

Picks are good, but not enough on their own. Kulak doesn't exactly move the needle. Though I think he'd be a decent, cost controlled addition to the roster.

Swap Juulsen for something else and I could see the value being alright here.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Agreed with the poster above.

 

[Benstheman]

Yeah and forget about Juulsen. Poor kid is damaged good.

 

[HOPE]

I don’t want anything to do with saad and gus is a UFA, that said, the price is still too from from a Chicago perspective, they could do alot better selling them on their own!

Trading our 1st even with protection this year is risky. Could be a lottery pick next year too. If I'm going to trade our first, I'd use that in a package to get Hall with an extension. I have zero interest in trading futures for short term gains. Gustafsson is a pending UFA and Saad the year after.

There is no player or two available that turns the Habs into a contender in the short term and that includes Hall. I pass.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Our first round pick is off limit for players like Saad and Gus.

 

[Rafafouille]

Not sure that's enough value for Chicago. Mid tier first rounder and a second. Not sure an Ahler in kulak and juulsen who is probably about to retire is interesting for them.

Especially with the next draft being in Montreal..

So a $6M player with 3rd line production for 2 years and an UFA for a 1st (very possible lottery pick), a 2nd, a previous 1st round pick that has progressed well but with head-hakes issues and a serviceable #7 D.


That would be bad for the Habs. Switch the 1st for a second and now we are talking

 

[Captain Mountain]

Really, really dislike it for Montreal.

 

[sansabri]

why are we trading futures

 

[drw02]

Hawks do this easily, no clue why Habs would tho

 

[jfhabs]

If we're giving a 1st+2nd it's for one quality player.

 

[Toastman]

Montreal should not trade their 1st unless they get an over payment.

Not saying the 1st will be a lottery pick, but I'd rather keep it

3rd liner production?

On pace for 49pts

Last year, 49pts puts you in the top 100 for scoring for forwards.

top 6 Fs x 31 teams = 186 players

He's a top 6 player, with a good defensive game. On pace for about the same amount of points as he has averaged in his career.

 

[LDF]

it is those that are buying that saying that Saad is a 3rd line forward. then there is Gus who is definitely is an offensive gifted d-man ... the price that was suggested is not unreasonable . plus the opportunity to resign let alone what they will provide for Mont, one will need to look at the big pict of Mont is getting .

 

[LDF]

Especially with the next draft being in Montreal..

ok, lets say 2021 1st rounder...... now the pkg to sweeten the blow .

well that is slightly better, but im not that big on the OP anyways. I dont see Saad as a need for the habs or a significant (if any) upgrade on Drouin or Tatar, so the piece here is Gus. Seems to have good numbers, but i am not at a point where i think Mtl spends a first on him.

thing is Saad can slide from the top 3 to the top 6 with ease and the team needs. he will provide offense on both ...... not splashy but a consistent production. players like him always get over looked. then you add Gus as the icing .

 

[Hostile Offer]

Way too much risk for the Habs.

 

[Tanknation]

Thanks but no thanks Chicago. Click

 

[LDF]

Way too much risk for the Habs.

there is always a risk...... in everything.

 

[No ReGretzkys]

If I am the habs I would definitely target Gus. Exactly what we need on the PP right now with weber.

What are hawks fan's looking for in return for Gus? I can't imagine his value is very high right now.

Our second from the Shaw trade + a decent F prospect sounds good. (Olofsson maybe?)
