Rumors: 2024-25 Season

[GGpX]

What worries me about Barlow is whether or not he was a flash in the pan. I don't know if he's injured or if there are other circumstances going on with him, though.

If we do trade Monahan, the ideal return would be the other team's first or a forward with size that has potential to be a top-6 forward.

Zero interest whatsoever in undersized forwards or defense prospects.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Zero interest in 20-something 1st round picks, Habs need NHL ready assets..

 

[Habsy]

Plenty of interest in high picks

Monahan for Rutger McGroarty would be excite me to no end.

A more realistic option, though?

Monahan for our 2nd round pick (originally traded to Arizona for Dvorak) and the rights to Dmitry Rashevsky.

Why not flip the script a bit? The Habs have a f@ck ton of draft picks, why not add one with Monahan to get an interesting player that would otherwise not be available?

(Of course, the Jets are not short of picks for the next couple of years, so maybe not a good example.)

Hence the Knies type approach..

If a team like Winnipeg is going for it, acquiring picks is meaningless to them. Especially so that we can get a better prospect from them.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Need to zero in on teams whose GMs are being bogged down by weight of expectations…. circle like vultures

Leafs, Canes, NJD, NYR (simply because Dolan is an erratic nut job)

Chevaldayoff has exceeded expectations , and he’s too measured a GM to begin with because of his teams small / undesirable market status

I sense Dvorak would’ve been a Chevaldayoff type target based on position (C) + size + defensive awareness + preference for mid-West types usually 35-40% of roster (presently 36%)

Wouldn’t work with the Peg because they have picks. Monahan is the short-term asset for the all-in team, but perhaps the pick is just to add some value if there’s a team that is short on picks.

Your not getting Barlow for Mony

Winnipeg would likely use picks to acquire

You pick the appropriate name: the targets have clearly become the “pousse caca 3”: Leafs, Canes, NJD

All have same foundational flaws: G, character & grit playoff warriors

Chevaldayoff is a miser, as he needs to be as GM of that small market team.

A Winter-peg, late 2nd round pick for Monahan is a complete & utter worthless waste - he’s better off guiding the young Habs team in what’s shaping up to be a run at a wildcard spot, that experience will be beneficial for the future

Calm your horses about a “run at a wildcard spot.” Not there yet.

Agree - should have a better idea in 9-days where things stand though

After we win tonight, we are in it. We need the experience over getting a good prospect. The experience of losing in the playoffs is unteachable. It's not something anyone on the team has ever experienced before, EVER.
