Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread: Part 75 (2 Days Left)

[Le Tricolore]

I may not like Kent Hughes...

Based on what exactly?

I can see people maybe wanting a little more for Toffoli, but we also got way more than we should have for Chiarot.

Unless you just dislike bald men who look like they need a nap?

[HuGo Burner Acc]

If Habs don't finish last and get Wright, they may be able to draft one of Cooley or Savoie..... But I would not do that.

The main reason I'd rather the habs get a D if not wright is because in 2023, the projected top 5 are all centers besides Michkov who is still a winger. Unless the Habs plan on making the playoffs next season lol

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hopefully he moves Kulak for whatever he can get. Lehkonen and Petry only if he gets the right price.

 

[FrankMTL]

You guys have to remember that Kent Hughes literally negotiates for a living. That's what he did all these years before becoming GM. He will say things that he feels will incite other GMs to be more aggressive.

party sandwich. it's not party or a sandwich. DISCUSS

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

We really peaked with the Chiarot trade didn't we....
Huge day tomorrow will be Kulak for a 4th.
STAY TUNED!!!!

If a pylon like Dermott who is inferior to Kulak in every aspect of the game cost a 3rd then Hughes should accept nothing less than a 3rd or a solid B prospect.

No garanties where in the top 5 next season, you can’t draft a Dmen based on that

If he holds at the deadline I'll be quite disappointed. But hopefully he makes moves before tomorrow.

He has been one of the most active GM since he’s there

What do you expect him to do outside of Lehkonen or Kulak? Understanding that cap and term are problematic for contending teams

 

[salbutera]

For a team rebuilding I expected more than Toffoli and Chiarot to be gone by the deadline. But must show how much other teams want our scraps and bad contracts.

They’re not tearing it all down & rebuilding from ground zero, they are tweaking the roster, a few veterans swaps and a fresh coat of gloss

Trade Lehkonen, Kulak and Wideman

 

[Le Tricolore]

So if he traded Chiarot a few days later than he did, you'd be okay with it?

Trades don't need to be done at the deadline. You make the right move when it's available. I don't understand your point.

If he is going to be able to re sign him. And he should know if they will be able to and do it this week. Otherwise take what you can get tomorrow.

Are you in favor of moving Edmundson if we get a Chiarot-like offer?

On the one hand, it's good to have a rock like Eddy to support the young D until they're ready to take the reigns.

On the other hand, his value may be at a high, due to his performance last playoffs. GM's have short memories.

My point is that if he holds onto Lehkonen, Kulak and Wideman I'll be very disappointed the Habs lost the opportunity to trade those players.

 

[Vachon23]

Trade Lehkonen, Kulak and Wideman

Lehkonen and Kulak will probably happen tomorrow and we won’t have more then 6th for Wideman, at this price keep him. We will need bodies and we don’t have any depth on the RD

 

[Zorba]

So it’s a one month rebuild? Good to know.

When did they say rebuild? You can’t rebuild with these terrible contracts

He will get Chiarot type of return in the TDL 2024, no hurry to trade him

Lehkonen is an RFA. No need to trade him. If Hughes thinks that Kulak or Wideman would be players worth re-signing, they wouldn't be moved either.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Lehkonen and Kulak will probably happen tomorrow and we won’t have more then 6th for Wideman, at this price keep him. We will need bodies and we don’t any depth on the RD

Yeah if he trades Lehkonen and Kulak I'll be happy. But I wouldn't mind trading Wideman too.

You also gotta realize that you can’t sell things that don’t have demand. Longer/expensive contracts are difficult to move at the deadline. And certain players just become untradable due to poor performance and expensive contract, sometimes you just have to let players build up their value a bit before selling.

I do think this is the perfect time to sell lehk, his value has never been higher.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Yes, and I would be very disappointed because I don't want the Habs to keep any of those players

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hartman isn't a centre. Josr is not good enough to be a centre. Gaudreau and Eriksson-Ek are 3rd liners at best. He and Rossi would be the best centres.

Hartman is their 1C (signed for 2 more years)
Gaudreau is their 2C (signed for 1 more year)
Eriksson Ek is their 2C (signed for 7 more years)
Jost is their 4C (just acquired and has 1 more year left).
And they have Rossi as their future center.

McBain probably didn't see much of an opening for him. He probably felt he was a lower down the depth chart for Minny.
