If they don't resign Hanifin, I guess Matheson could be a good target

McNabb-Theodore

How can the Habs trade away their best defender?
Play Guhle 30m a night? No he needs to develop properly.
Next year we still need Matheson. We only have 2 top4 dmen...

thats pretty low return for the top defenseman of a team.

math will garner a 1st and a warm body, at the very least.

he wont be dealt this year anyhow. maybe savard though

ps: math is local, wears a letter, decent cap for a couple more years, and is a valued vet.

Can't see MTL trading their 1D who's been excellent this season for a 3C.

We didn’t make that move to not resign Hanifin

Trading 1 player for 2 makes no sense for VGK. As it is we're likely going to have a 22 man roster next year, maybe even 21. So if Roy (or Keegan or Howden or McNabb or) get moved this summer it's going to be for picks, not bodies.

we got plenty of those in MTL

Indeed you do lol.

So much is riding on Hanifin and Marshy this summer. I really think Roy is staying since Butch loves him. And I think Carrier gets resigned since, you guessed it, Butch loves him too. Decisions decisions.

Evans + WPG 2024 first for Roy would make sense - A cheaper 4th C option that will do the Defensive missions at a 1.7M$ price tag.

Reasonable thinking and a reasonable offer. I just think Roy is too valuable (to VGK) to move. But something will have to give that's a certainty. I have an ACGM started (it will be my first!!) that allows us to keep Roy at 4C. I'll try push that through later after I tweak it a bit more. I'll be curious of your thoughts if you get a chance to see it.
