Deal seems to make sense for both teams - a bit surprised the Habs had to kick in the extra pick in the deal. If anything I figured Columbus would have to add to Anderson to get Domi.
So this turned into a brilliant deal. Bergevin turns a 4th rounder in 2020 - into a 2nd rounder in 2020 and a conditional 4th in 2021. Good luck to the MB haters trying to find something to criticize here.
Wanted him when he was initially dealt to Buffalo. Obviously his stock has lost some of its shine the last two years, but getting him at such a reasonable cost seems a very worthwhile gamble by Bergevin.
Interesting story in the Athletic today about Jake Gardiner where he mentions turning down a multiple year deal from Montreal at around $5 million per year, on July 3rd. Have to wonder what the offseason would've looked like had he signed...
