Laine is hurt too though.

I imagine any futures from the Habs starts with Hage and Zharovsky off the table. Picks are probably the main currency here but if they're after prospects think Pickford (Alberta kid, RD, another Tiger for the collection), Engstrom (LD, 22, looks good in the AHL), maybe Mooney (tiny high skill NCAA american forward) but I'd be meh on that. Given the Flames M/O on prospects though it'll be some guy we've never hear of who turns out a lot more promising than anticipated.

It was Hage that was the no go, no mention of Zharovsky being untouchable although they do like him.

Oh, I thought we were talking Andersson there.

To be fair, either Laine or Anderson would be whipping boys is they played for the Flames.

He'd probably be getting some #1 PP time...the downside to that is his linemates on that PP unit would be Farabee and a bunch of rookies.

Fair, regardless I would imagine that would be a really hard sell unless the Flames are sending more value over.

Just turned 19, 38 points in 53 KHL games, 6'1, endorsed by his boy Demidov pre draft.

I definitely do get the value in Kadri for the Habs but I don't see them selling one of the jewels of their system for a 7m 35 year old centre with less goals than a 22 year old Oliver Kapanen who's spot he'd maybe take.

An hour till deadline?

I'd rather we keep Whitecloud. I like what I see from him on defence.

And trades often trickle in thereafter.

Could be just what he needs. I was pretty excited seeing Griden / Parekh last night.

Kadri Whitecloud Cooley

for

Laine Hage 2026 1st 2026 4th

[dammage79]

My guess and it's probably way over value as to what they will actually get but Kadri and Whitecloud to MTL for Zharovsky Laine and Xekji gah I can't spell that name.

If not Zharofsky it'll be Beck.

[getbak]

Two years ago, the Hertl trade broke at 12:56. Still a lot of road ahead.

[Roko]

Get ready for Owen beck

[iloveicedhockey]

I'm in the pessimistic camp that it won't get done, but I'm fully ignoring the fact that conversations have been ongoing for months.

if I were CC, there's no way I'd give up Kadri AND Whitecloud without Hage coming back.

[Reggie Dunlop]

I hope William Trudeau is part of the return... that name is magic in Calgary.

[Vinny01]

Would love to get another 1st for 2026. 3x 1st and 4x 2nd could help the team move up and possibly get a second pick in the top 12
