2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

Yes and no

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Who cares if we get value and use capital to get players at some point

Most likely 3 are gonzo in any scenario

Need a macro view not short term micro look

Those extra picks dumping players helped us land Hutson and Hage

Teams will be in dump mode soon enough as many wont go to the cap ceiling , Habs have the money to take on salary

Patience its only year 3

Thou art being obtuse.

Is it fair to players busting their asses to get back in the mix to have rug pulled out? We have too many draft picks as it is. Hughes said we don't need any more.

Life isn't fair. If it were, Trump would be in prison.

The players' job is to bust their asses every shift whether the team is in the mix or not.

 

[Habsy]

Correct.

It’s possible we could be buyers and sellers at the deadline, with contract expiry being the main feature.

Yeah flip the pick + for another player

 

[Habsy]

Like what they did with Romanov. Too bad Dach can't seem to put it together. Time to move him to wing.

HuGo are smart and can probably chew gum and walk at the same time. I think MSL and the players have earned it too.

I thinking more a Carrier type move than Dach. i.e. Less projection and more known commodity. Just avoid the contract albatross. Would obviously cost more than Barron. e.g moving pick + Mailloux or Farrell in a package.

It’s all about the return that you can get, not fairness. If we can get first round picks or prospects who would have a good chance to contribute in the NHL soon, then you have to move some of these pending UFA’s by the deadline.

You don't work every day at work so why should a player

We aren't getting a first for Evans nor Armia

 

[Habsy]

We aren't getting a first for Evans nor Armia

You could for the pair though. And then some. They're one of the top PK pairs in the league. Our PK will suffer when they're gone.

 

[Alan C]

Yes and no

same for me

 

[CH1]

Like what they did with Romanov. Too bad Dach can't seem to put it together. Time to move him to hospital wing.

Yes please

Beck didn’t see much TOI last night ….gotta think he’s headed to Laval and HuGo are looking to make a move for 2C prior to Edm game.

NYI & Preds look to me as best trade partners (ROR? Nelson?)

 

[lecoqsportif]

Pas la bonne chaise.

2C is not sustainable for him.

 

[GEEMAN]

You don't work every day at work so why should a player

Because they make a ton of money for 6 months work plus playoffs if you make it
