2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

Better get a R D back as we are weak on that side.

Would also be an admission by Hughes he fucked up, not sure he wants to make such admission

Huh? He moved on from Justin Barron quickly. Hughes is among least egotistiical GM's I've ever seen. Habs need an actual top 6 forward badly.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah. That’s how you get canned later.

Fix the issue, if it is an issue.

Hardly the same situation counsellor (but you knew that)

He just signed an extension, he's safe

Why not? Hughes won't let his ego get in the way of trying to improve the team.

 

[AH$$$]

Hmmmm Panarin is available.

Everyone let's ego get in the way

There is no reason to trade Reinbacher but there is no reason to not trade him either with Dobson here long term.

 

[GEEMAN]

Mathias Brunet is saying that Reinbacher might be traded by the deadline, as per his "contacts" within the Habs org., whoever they might be, assuming they actually exist.

thats fine but better be a quality yute to work with for years to come , not some rental shit

Well duh!

If getting Robert Thomas costs us Orville, it's because Orville is good, not because drafting him was a mistake.

 

[Krustchev]

No, that's not true.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

If getting Robert Thomas costs is Orville, it's because Orville is good, not because drafting him was a mistake.

we are not going to get Robert Thomas, that is like how 2 years ago you were certain we were getting a 1st for Jake Allen

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

We will get Thomas...unless we don't get him.

Shitty year to be 5th. Top 4 are all looking pretty good

Leonard was the only other pick as a safe top 9 contributor

 

[Habspatrol]

I'm still not convinced Reinbacher wasn't a good pick. He's had some bad luck so far. At 21 there's plenty of time for him to prove himself.

That said, if you can make an impact move by trading him, so be it.

Brunet is not one to start rumors in general, he must have some solid intel.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Actually I decided to listen to his podcast, assuming that this is where the info came from, and they were talking about Pickford, not Reinbacher, and it was just a thought, not claiming from sources.
