They did it last year….

last year they had Dvorak. his line with Gally and Anderson was often our best line.
they had Suzuki Dvorak and Evans, that’s 3 legit centers.
now they have 2.

if they’re trying to get an already established center or a high-end prospect, they’re gonna have to pay up, that’s for sure.

they have the assets to make it happen, just need to find a dance partner. easier said than done.

yeah, Dach isn’t going to fetch you a 2C, especially not now loll

it would probably cost a forward, a dman, and picks/prospects

I agree, but there could also be a scenario where Dach starts the season with the habs, actually plays decently (maybe on the wing..?) and Hughes then trades him once his value gets higher. perhaps they’ve already made up their mind about Dach and are just waiting for the right moment.

oh right right. yes that is a possibility. I meant in a trade now, to get a #2C.

yeah, there’s a strong chance he ends up on the wing, if he isn’t traded…

I’d be extremely surprised if he is traded. his value is too low.
Newhook maybe?
because if they do get a center, someone will have to go the other way. they already have 12-13 forwards

I wouldn’t put any money on Dach staying healthy and to play well as the 2C, but I’m still very curious to see what happens, I wouldn’t count him out just yet.

yep should be fun to watch. I still think his hockey IQ is not high enough to play center though.

if Dach or Newhook is half decent it could do the trick

that’s a fuckin big if lol

really..? I was expecting zero return

they had zero return. the dman they got will never come even close to play in Mtl.
SJ had to trade a contract, they’re at 50 if I’m not mistaken.
and yes Habs need to make another trade. as it is they only have 2 legit centers. Suzuki and Evans. all the others are big ??
not the end of the world if they do not, but you cannot seriously expect to make the playoffs that thin down the middle.

[fidopro]

there you go! well done Kent, now go get a center

While it could be nice to get that cap off the books, the Habs do not need to trade him either.

exactly. you want him? fine take him, but we’re not giving you picks to do so. certainly not top picks.
no hurry what so ever to trade him, unless they have another deal in place to get a center.
