HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #87: 2024 Season Finale

[DAChampion]

All of these proposals to acquire additional top five picks are unrealistic, but I guess people are bored now.

Try inverting the process: what would you want from another team to trade the 5th overall away? What if they packaged a late 1st and a potential 3rd pairing D?

 

[Zilo44]

Rumors are Necas will not be resigned as a RFA.

That’s the move. WPG 1st + CGy 1st?

From what I read here iginla is a good player and top six material. Not good enough at 5. Take a guaranteed top 2 d man instead.

Where are you reading it and what do you trust? There is no way anybody knows this so it comes down to what you believe. I'd go watch some video on Iggy. What about 3 or 4 different ones. You will see what I and others see. I don't know about you but I rather watch video and come up with my own opinion vs just reading comments.

Don't underestimate how hot Iggy is trending and also being one of the youngest in this draft. Remember, the goal here is who has the best D+1 and D+2. It's not about who they are today, it's about who they will become. Most of the top players in the NHL make their gains in development from age 18-20+.

Did you believe Slaf was a top line asset on draft day and in his D+1? Pretty sure many had doubts about that. Even Bob said it... most project into a 2nd tier talent with the chance some of them reach top line. We took Slaf who is on a rocket development upwards. So yeah, My search is the guy I think makes the most gains from age 18-20. I'm going with Iggy on this. It's extremely difficult to nit pick and find his flaws.

This is what Bob M said: Where is the good top 6 material comment in this? It's kind of vague. One thing that Bob did say though is the 2-10+ is all over the map.

The son of former NHL star Jarome Iginla has had a meteoric rise from No. 16 at mid-season to No. 10 now and is coming off a particularly strong performance for gold-medal winning Canada at the U-18 World Championship.

If they're not good enough for the Hurricanes ...

 

[salbutera]

Necas is too sofffff

I would sign both.

That being said, i don't think i would want to pay what it would cost to get Necas via trade.

 

[le_sean]

Necas has been an obvious target for a while now.

I also love the discourse that he was disappointing in the playoffs. Same goals and assists as Guentzel who everybody was fawning over.

Hurricanes can't afford to keep everyone.

yeah, weird narrative...thought he was excellent in the game last night but for some reason (which I think we all know why), he gets the perimeter/soft player label.

Meh, i'd take him on the Habs any day, think he'd fit perfectly.

I watched pretty much every Canes game in the playoffs and I thought Necas played great. He's a bit streaky, but a lot of offensive guys are. I would love to add him and his speed on the Habs.

No one is taking caulfeld for demidov.

I don’t know that anything is ever guaranteed when it comes to prospects.

Like one of our colorful media types used to say, they’re all suspects.

Just go BPA whatever position the player happens to play (and hope their internal rankings are solid) and our now well oiled development machine will take care of the rest.

He was very good way more than when he was off.
This kid has it all..................would love to see something happen there, that brings him to Montreal.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Pesce would be the perfect player to sign as a UFA to play on a pairing with Hutson. Good size, defensively responsible, excellent skater, moves the puck well, covers a lot of ice.

He will command a lot of money and term, but I wouldn’t be opposed to signing him. Would allow us to move Savard at the deadline, and still have a veteran presence while one of Mailloux/Reinbacher make the jump and graduate.

Matheson - Guhle
Hutson - Pesce
Xhekaj - Savard
Struble

At that point (the end of the 24-25 season) you have to make a decision on to where Matheson fits in the organization. I think he will probably be traded as we have a ton of young (and cheaper) guys in the pipeline and he’ll be an upcoming UFA.

I could see it being (in 25-26)

Guhle - Reinbacher
Hutson - Pesce
Xhekaj - Mailloux

Exactly. Who do I want with Dach and Newhook, Martin Necas or Brendan Gallagher? Hmmmm

Cayden Lindstrom or Demidov with Dach & Necas and then Newhook on L3

Now we are looking capable

 

[Vachon23]

What about Nikolaj Ehlers ?

I think I would prefer him then Necas

 

[le_sean]

He’s softer than Tatar

Pass - I’d offer 5OA for Svechnikov

 

[Vachon23]

He’s softer than Tatar

He’s as soft then Necas

 

[JuicyHam]

What about Nikolaj Ehlers ?

I think I would prefer him then Necas

I love Ehlers but I feel his speed based game won't age well after 30. He's got some very good years left but I don't want to be the team that is stuck with him when he stops being good

 

[le_sean]

He’s as soft then Necas

Not even close.

Ehlers is a detriment to his team in the playoffs. He’s scared of his shadow. I mean he has 14 career playoff points in almost 40 games. Necas had 9 just these playoffs.

 

[Deus ex machina]

What about Nikolaj Ehlers ?

Talented but...
Smallish.
Often injured.
Disappears in the playoffs.
6M contract.
Only one year before becoming UFA.

Not sure that's the profile that the Habs are looking for.
Reminds me of Drouin a bit.

I think there will be better options out there.
Maybe as a stop gap if he comes very cheap.

I'd like to see where he said that, as that's not the intention I got from 32 thoughts.

He talked about how Carolina tried to extend Pesce last year, somewhere around 5 x 5. I believe it was Pesce(Maybe Skjei) the Canes approached for a short-term, high cap hit deal like Orlov's.

He further put that he believed those two weren't in the top 3 of the priority. If I remember, 1st was extending Slavin, next was Jarvis and the 3rd was something else. It wasn't even signing Guentzel.

Go to around the 30:00 minute mark for Friedman talking about the Canes offseason which leads to the KK talk

 

[WeThreeKings]

I love Ehlers and I'd go for him too but we probably don't have what they want.. but maybe they'd be interested in bringing in Justin Barron.

Just think Carolina as an organization would take surplus picks and a Harris/Struble for Necas.
