Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Hughes quote in reference to TBay / Bruins not 2-3 years from making playoffs…

“you’ve got a group of teams that have been there, the Tampas of the world, the Bruins of the world, that all the teams that are coming up are going to have to push out. So I kind of look at it less from “when will we be there?” but more what we need to do before we feel that we have that kind of team. Listen, I think it’s going to be another two, three years … but again, we’re hopeful we have opportunities to trade for good, young players like a Kirby Dach, instead of using a draft pick for it.”

The last bolded part surely screams PLD using Fla pick

when I read it I thought that way at first

Draft the big Austrian D man and trade for PLD?
Sell Eddie Baby for what you can get then play the kids!
That would speed things up considerably.
Wood Boy

four solid centres.

I don’t particularly like the idea of trading the farm for Dubois but I like the nicknames.
Ideally, Hughes would be able to make another great buy low trade like Dach for a solid but expendable piece without the first rounder.
 
Do I need to be stoned to understand those nicknames? Hoiles you stoned?

I wouldn't trade anything of significance for PLD. You can subtly make sure it's known that you're in the market for a mid 20s center for the summer of 24.

If you can get him for a 2nd and a B prospect then sure... but don't sell the farm for a guy you can have for "free."

Realistically Nick should be our third line center. That would mean they have two better and they need two better.

PLD
Dach
Suzuki
Beck

except good luck paying your 3rd line pivot, $8M/yr

that would make Suzuki's contract one of the worst in the league
