  1. Mailloux probably has a higher ceiling than Bolduc, but Bolduc is already an established NHLer with room to improve. Mailloux's defensive deficiencies might prevent him from ever reaching that level. We moved him at the right time while his value is high and he wasn't too disgruntled with the lack of NHL opportunity. We're not the only team with a hole at centre and it doesn't seem like there are many on the market. We already filled a huge hole on RD.

  2. These are the prime years of a golden generation of Finnish talent. Twenty years ago you'd have maybe 3-5 stars and a bunch of no names (that would of course manage to punch above their weight). Nowadays you have 2-3 lines of stars or at least complimentary first liners like Lekky. I wonder if this quantity of Finnish talent is here to stay or if they'll regress back to where they were.

    Sometimes that's the case but it probably wouldn't be with the higher picks but rather the lower-round ones.

     

     

    I don't think the Habs have a trade chip over the next few weeks that a team would part with an unprotected 1st for.  (Some might say Matheson but I think the supposed openness toward moving him is vastly overstated.)  If Montreal was a buying team, I wouldn't want them parting with one for the combo of Evans and Armia so I can't expect them to get that type of return for them.

     

     

    Evans seems to me to be comparable to Lekky when he was traded, who netted us a 2nd plus a recent 1st round pick. Throw in Armia, another elite PKer, that's not worth a late 1st to a contender?
