Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Off-season Editon

[Laurentide]

From what I hear Lou might send those two first rounders to the Sens for Hot Karl. Then Ottawa can let the Avs have the #4 pick this year and the Sens can keep next year's first rounder which is sure to be a lottery pick.

 

[Scriptor]

Could you imagine Peohling, Kotkaniemi, Hayton and Vilardi.........center depth would no longer be a problem.

We'd find a problem somewhere else. Dont worry about it

Sens looking to move Anderson. The Avs must be loving the Sens moving out all their guys since they own the Sens 1st round pick next year.

If the Habs could ship out Price, Weber, Alzner, Shaw, Petry and any other older player and stock up on picks for the 2019 and 2020 drafts I'd be all for it. Fire MB, hire a new GM to tear it all down and build it back up.

This is the only way to go if we ever want to be a top team.

We'd have to adjust our franchise philosophy/paradigm which is just as important IMO. There is no indication we have done this or even considered it. The firing of Lefebvre was just the establishment buying time. For what I do not know. His supporting cast is still there...

I think you still need a few quality vets to support young guys, or else you risk breeding a losing culture. I feel like that's the issue with most failed/never-ending rebuilds.

I don't think you can trade both Weber and Petry, for example. Or else what's the plan, play Juulsen 25 minutes a night?

Exactly, look at all the tank teams that can’t turn it around because the culture is built on losing.

I agree you need some quality vets on the team but you could sign some cheaper vets to short term contracts to help show the kids the way instead of having vets on long term contract big contracts. I don't think the Habs could even move some of these contracts anyway so it's pretty much a moot point but I'd still try to move what I could.

Kunitz will be a ufa. He will be a Hab.

Who said we would play him on the wing?

"Ideally, [insert name] should be playing on the wing"

Also, his name is not Christian Cunette.

Big-Name Rumors Swirl at NHL Draft; Pens Keeping Cap Space Available

The name which keeps popping up with industry sources is Derick Brassard. Montreal is a powerful presence, and Pittsburgh Hockey Now has been told several times Montreal likes Brassard. Now, that means nothing as of this writing. Montreal is apparently in on Buffalo’s Ryan O’Reilly. Just as we heard the Penguins liked Max Domi for months, the same scuttle surrounds Brassard, who will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.

 

[Redux91]

Aw man... but we cant pair him with latendresse anymore!...unless!

The Iron Law of Lazy Pundits: any francophone player can automatically be linked to the Habs when you're at a loss to come up with anything original.

It got real old a real long time ago.

Ottawa collapsed without him, and he needs Senergy!

head shots in the NHL are way way down...a Latendresse come back???

 

[scrubadam]

I am convinced that agents/teams leak these things to drive up the price. Its why the habs are always linked to every UFA.

As far as Brassard goes, he wouldn't be a horrible consolation prize. Could probably be a decent 3C on this team, maybe a lower end 2nd C. Would help the tank and at his contract would take it over a guy like Bozak. He only has 1 more year and could probably be flipped at the deadline for a 2nd round or 3rd rounder.

If habs added ROR, ROR/Danault/Brassard/JDLR is decent C depth much better than what he had last year.

Depends on the price.

 

[Deebs]

No thanks

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I mean Brassard isn't bad at all, but the ship has sailed. He's not getting any younger.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

That would be such a Bergevin thing to do. Everyone hoping for a 1B C (ROR) to end up with a 2B C (Brassard)

 

[le_sean]

He’s the most generic player in the NHL. I’ve never noticed a single moment of his career.

Why go for Brassard when there's Stastny out there for the cost of money only? Molson's money.
