OK by me. That’s one of those contracts that encroaches upon the rebuild - we should ship it out if we can IMHO.

 

Aside from Price, it will be the toughest contract to get rid of. We know that Bergevin likes him,  LA might be a fit with Brown retiring. We should definitely ship it out if we can.

Looking at a hockey trade for Hoffman. Who would you pick out of these choices? Wennberg (SEA) is a very close match, but I would love to have Beuvilier to play with Suzuki and Caufield.

Major age differences on all of those players mean it would need to be Hoffman +

Why would you overpay so much for #2 when next year is supposedly a better draft?

We'd be overpaying if we have a good pick next year ... but a top-three pick is far from guaranteed.

We're still going to suck and pick in the top 10 if not top 5. Add our best non-Caufield-or-Suzuki forward and our top prospect to that?

I think New Jersey would jump on that in a heartbeat.  That's a lot to give up. 

The powerhorse would be attractive I assume (and get rid of some salary), kinda-sorta could afford losing 1 of the potential 2nd pairing young d and possible lottery pick is unknown value.

But, could make big splash at the draft, getting Wright & next best (Nemec, Cooley?), would be nice bump to prospect pool, even though lose a young d-man and the slim chance of drafting Bedard next year.

I just think it would take ALOT to make Devils trade the pick.

No just no. We can’t afford to give up not  only two young dmen - let alone two of our best dmen - but no way do I want to lose a lottery pick next year. And I think we are probably a bottom 19 team next year, probably bottom 5.

But once traded it is guaranteed not to happen ... in a draft with a true generational player (by all accounts) and by some accounts two ... as well as top-end of the draft depth

It is bottom 11 or bust (LOL) to have any chance at Bedard.

That was a typo. Me at that we are probably a bottom 10 team next, and more likely even to be bottom 5.

Agreed it will take a lot and that's why it is unlikely to happen. It's rare for a team to trade a high 1st round pick at the draft.  I would love to see the Habs get both Wright and Slafkovsky but there is no way they can trade their own first next year.  It's fun to speculate though.

I would target a team out of the top 3 if Nemec is still available, with: CGY's 2022 1st, Norlinder or Harris and an NHL roster player the other team may want to have outside of Hug-Gort's core

None of those assets outside of Suzuki/Caufield are worthy of a top-five pick.  It's not remotely feasible.

Nemec is the only other high pick I would want to trade for. I didn't want to change Don's proposal too much... well I did just that

 

I would not trade next year's Hab's 1st because I want them to tank.

 

It's hard to find a trade partner in the top 5 with what we guess Hug-Gort may offer

Yep.  There isn't a realistic solution to get a second top-five pick.  Also keep in mind how rarely those picks get traded.

But, if trade Habs 1st next year. The whole tank thing for another year goes away and we can all pull for Habs to do as well as possible.

Sens at 7 i heard may be willing to move pick, but seem in same boat as Habs, so non starter.

 

But, if dlbalr thinks 0% this happening, id buy that. Just idea someone else floated out there, as who knows what kind of splash new mgmt willing to make.

It wouldn't really go away because all next year we would be so worried about having giving up a chance for Bedard that after every losing streak we would be saying "darn we shouldn't have traded our first".  Of course we would pull for the Habs to do as well as possible but that doesn't mean they will. 

 

HuGo is thinking long term so I would be shocked if they traded next year's first.

Good thing our GM is Kent Hughes and not Reggie Houle. That is one horribly ugly trade proposal. Now if they offered Petry, two 2nds and a prospect not listed in the previous proposal say, Mailoux, it might be ok for Montreal, Jersey not so much.

I agree and I also share your feeling about what may or may not be the preferred strategy of the new management

Then why even mention an unrealistic scenario? Or you just dont think any pain is required to make significant deal?

Isnt much of that offer NJ would consider,..again not that mine suggestion is great, but seems like one NJ would accept, acceptable loss to Habs long term and i would risk the whole picking #1 again.

 

But, we know it aint happening and just a thought.
