Thread: Zegras to Montreal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>You're new here, so we won't light you up for being the millionth person to post a variation of WPG 1st and Barron and Kidney.

If you want Zegras, it takes a blue chip asset to center the trade. That's MTLs 24 1st + Beck level prospect, Reinbacher + MTLs 25 2nd, or Slafkovsky straight up.</div></div>

"MTLs 24 1st + Beck level prospect" - if habs can get either Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla, or Eiserman; they could keep Beck and have a more rounded fwd (or around the same level fwd) for the future.
"Reinbacher + MTLs 25 2nd" - If the Habs traded away another young D who turned into McDonough or Sergachev, there would be riots - I think they will let him mature a bit to see what he can do in the NA game.
Slafkovsy has shown us what he is growing into (10G 14A in 32 games in calendar 2024 and not even 20 yet (plus the rest of his all around play in noticable). He looks very promising. If Slafkovsy was in a deal, the Ducks would realistically reed to include additional assets.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>I don’t blame you, I love Guhle as well, I just think he’s the only guy who gets you the type of forward we’re looking for. Maybe Xhekaj does as well? But would you want to move him? Struble could get you a nice return if packaged, but these types of deals are typically 1 for 1 or quality for quality vs quality for quantity..</div></div>

I love both Stuble and Xhekaj. Both very physical, but with a much different approach to the game. I think one of them is eventually gone. Both will eventually strive wherever they go - and there is potential to say "can't believe we let him go" - the return needs to be of enough value that we say "well we got #insert player name# so we can't complain"

Don't want another Gomez or Drouin breathing on the team while McDonough/Sergachev show what we missed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>I’d say he’s 2-3 years from his prime and I don’t disagree with you, but you also have to give to get. It’s trading from a position of strength and look at the player we’re getting.</div></div>

I do not disagree that Defense, especially on the Left Side, is a position of strength within the organization. I also know when Hughes eventually does make a trade for a Top 6 fwd, it will be a considerable pay.
In my opinion, on LD Guhle is the future, and he is the future leader of the D-corps as a whole. He is the absolute last D-man I would put on the trade board (including Reinbacher and Hutson).
I understand my bias - and simply expressing my opinion. I think we are generally on the same page - maybe differ in who we value more.
