Rumors: 2024-25 Season

[Habsy]

I get it. But what do we do with Marchessault? He’s another winger. Already have Laine and Dach - and he’s another midget.

We would obviously have to move someone out and you put March on the third line.

Trotz seems to be a bad GM . . . but not THAT bad.

As a Habs fan, I can only hope he is ..

I doubt Preds ownership would let him do it.

 

[Habsy]

I doubt Preds ownership would let him do it.

Why?

I don’t think it’s credible either but why would ownership block a $22m salary dump and receive 2 first round picks if they’re going into a rebuild?

Because they’re not going into a rebuild? And if they are, the 5OA pick is way more valuable for a rebuild than that offer.

 

[Habsy]

Not so sure about that, even a retool. It would be a salary dump. I’ve seen stranger deals than that.

A GM who trades Demidov (and Marchessault’s contract) for Adam Jiricek and Tarak Paracsak without ownership approval would likely be fired soon after.

What are you on about?

Nashville's ownership doesn't know a hockey stick from a jai alai cesta. They only look at the money.

 

[Krustchev]

That’s the 2024 equivalent of that trade. See the problem with it from a Nashville perspective?

 

[Habsy]

No because GMs don’t know who will be available on their list.

Like I said, I agree it won’t happen but I’ve seen worse happen

 

[Sal_Butera]

I doubt Preds ownership would let him do it.

The consortium seems smitten… they went out of their way to lure Trotz from NYI to become GM

 

[legoalie]

Not interested in Marchessault

 

[lecoqsportif]

Top 8 in draft is said to be more or less consensus and then lists diverge.

It will be quite expensive to get into that group.

 

[Habsy]

Not interested in Marchessault

Me neither. I am interested in 5OA though.

 

[Stinky]

Buy him the fuck out.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Checked out Hague on YouTube. He fights plenty. Not as dominant as Xhekaj but he doesn't shy away. Straight up for Struble and a 3rd rounder I see no issue.

 

[Krustchev]

Yeah for Struble, obviously. But that’s why VGK won’t do it. If it’s too obvious, it ain’t happening.
