Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[GGpX]

I don't think either DeSmith or Petry will start the season with us.

Casey DeSmith means one, or even two, goalies are getting traded.

We currently have four goalies on one-way deals: Montembeault, Allen, Primeau & DeSmith. We have Dobes in the minors.

Primeau could, in theory, get waived to return to Laval, but that's it.

What Rolex or Vacheron watch will Kovacevic demand as a trade to give up number 26

 

[Sal_Butera]

Pour me a glass of that Rose sir!

Well Pesce enters UFA season - Petry has 2-years on a more manageable deal and brings more offense. The type of deal Canes usually target - especially if Habs eat 50%

We're still waiting dude, both my and CH's glasses are empty

 

[CH1]

I’m pretty parched

The key to the deal: Got rid of Hoffman & Pitlick for a second round pick & a fringe prospect.

I'm looking at what San Jose got, and... wow. They got Pittsburgh's 2024 first round pick and NHL bodies. No prospects.

That's one hell of a trade for Pittsburgh. San Jose... I don't know, man. Maybe get another pick or two? Ask for Owen Pickering?

 

[CH1]

SJ acquired an amazing chance at the #1 pick

 

[Alan C]

Nice trade was not expecting this. Makes room up front and opens up trade possibilities.

Have changed focus this summer..

Thanks Sal

Or package Petry + Allen to a desperate contender going all in…

Doubt it , Pesce is a UFA next year turning 30 and looking for his payday

Hugo is about value and future assets , this does nothing for the rebuild

You’re incredibly under valuing Pesce dude, that sound is Waddell hanging up on you lol

Grier fucked up royally

How the hell do you trade a Norris winner and first ballot HOF and not get back a legit piece for the future

Pitt traded 2 aging bad contracts , Habs traded junk and SJS gets back nothing but some cap down the road and a maybe draft pick

Sharks should of eaten 4 mil and made a much better hockey trade

That's for after we get Pesce though

They mostly got 10M of cap space for the next 4 years, but yes, it’s a very underwhelming return but Pittsburgh was essentially the only team interested.

Not at all , Canes are losing 2+ key D at some point and Petry and Orlov now expire in 2 years

Slavin , Pesce , Skjei, Burns .....there is no way Canes are keeping them all , Petry buys them another 2 years at under 5 mil cap

Canes are all in now

 

[Krustchev]

A Matheson-Petry pairing could be interesting.

 

[Habsy]

And ironically funny

And result in Reinbacher not being rushed to the NHL,
