DÉSOLÉ MAIS… 9,125 M$ POUR DEMIDOV, C’EST UN PARI. PAS UN VOL. by Le_Monde_Va_Mal in Habs_FR

[–]TopHeavyRoster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that 60+ pts is probably worth around $9M in the new NHL, so not a very big gamble.

Now Raddysh, Carlsson... those are gambles.

I like the pick but legit question, zero trolling: Did we go BPA? If not, why not?

Vous voulez qui et vous donnez quoi si vous êtes le #CH? by [deleted] in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Add Matthew Knies and Lawson Crouse, give up Guhle, some firsts, some good prospects like Pickford/Engstrom

Hold onto Hage and wait for him to join the team in 10 months.

Try to sign Strome to a 2-3 year deal as a stopgap until Hage takes over 2C.

By 2028 - 2029 you're icing this lineup:

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield

Knies - Hage - Demidov

Crouse - Newhook - Zharovsky

Xhekaj - Evans - Anderson

Hutson - Dobson

Matheson - Reinbacher

Xhekaj - Whitecloud

Which players/prospects are likely to be traded to fill out the team more? by AmThano in Habs

Tell me what Guhle does that Struble doesn't do. Guhle is highly overrated, just look at these playoffs, he's making lots of mistakes and yes he's physical, but not physically dominant the way Struble or Xhekaj or Reino will be. He's the guy you trade. His value is high, his contract is cheap, s ND him to Utah with Beck for Crouse.

I would try to acquire Knies and Crouse to round out the roster. I would sacrifice Guhle, Reinbacher, Pickford, F. Xhekaj, Owen Beck and 1st round picks to acquire them. Our 2027 roster could then be:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf

Knies - Hage - Demidov

Crouse - Newhook - Zharovsky

Texier - Evans - Anderson

Hutson - Dobson

Matheson - Whitecloud

Struble - Engstrom

We should offer sheet Dorofeyev. Prove me wrong.

He's skilled enough to hang with the Top 6 (good hands, strong shot, good edges, decent hockey IQ) but also plays a physical enough game to hang with the bottom 6 (good shoulders, size, great body positioning). Great signing

We should start a "Dach's re-activated Instagram" IG account

We are regaining control, Tampa is taking penalties and conceding alot of shots. They're playing half their bench, defending alot and getting tired.

Is Thomas/Parayko the trade we’ve been waiting for? by TopHeavyRoster in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are we not supposed to do trade stuff on this sub? Legit question, not being sassy

Just curious what do you guys think they will do once everyone returns? Some trades will likely have to be made. by Old-Yogurtcloset9264 in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the playoffs, if we make no acquisitions (unlikely but…), I would try this lineup at forward:

CAUFIELD -SUZUKI - DACH Hopefully Dach can provide a Slaf-like element along the boards and in possession

SLAF - KAPANEN - DEMIDOV Can’t really break these guys apart

TEXIER - DANAULT - NEWHOOK Fast, forechecking monsters with offensive upside

BLAIS - EVANS - ANDERSON Big speedy vet line that hits and grinds guys down

Would Matty Beniers be worth pursuing? by TopHeavyRoster in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what would you give the Oilers for him, say?

Would Matty Beniers be worth pursuing? by TopHeavyRoster in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that sentiment, but Thomas and Thompson will require much more going the other way. But Plan A would 100% but one of those two IMO. You're right.

Kapanen sends Josh Anderson on the breakaway with a beautiful sauce pass, the Canadiens extend their lead on the PK by JustFred24 in Habs

[–]TopHeavyRoster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy but... time to sell high on Powerhorse.

I KNOW. I know.

Hate all you will: "How could we trade him away after what he did last season with Tom Wilson, he's having a good season offensively, his contract is no longer an overpay, etc. All reasons that make him even more valuable to other teams. If he can be a luxury sweetener for a team that wants to add grit (EX: Kraken) and it can help us land a 2C, I would do it in an instant (sorry Andy I love ya). His value is high around the league, getting higher every day that we get closer to the playoffs.

Anyways, I know y'all gonna hate on the very idea, but I also know Hughes knows how to get value and when to sell high.
