I wonder if Habs trade down this year if the pick isn’t used in a trade?

Thomas would give Montreal strong centre depth. Having two dynamic centres that are top tier defensive as well would be incredible - so I would pay it. He isn’t being traded sadly I would be open to adding a winger instead - Tom Wilson would be tremendous and we could live with Newhook as centre for now.

Montembault to Edmonton for Nurse. Nurse to Toronto for Knies Probably not

Did Torts ask for too much $$$ or did the players say please god no?

🤷‍♂️

Surely Montembault is a goner. I don’t expect a big return but perhaps there is a larger deal possible

I can’t see Hughes spending big assets on a mediocre solution to our centre problem. As discussed here, the cost is going to be high but if he was available for a modest price then maybe

Also have to wonder if Knies happened would it have been enough? Hopefully Hughes makes us happy in draft day or sooner

Dobes!!!!!

His production isn’t enough for me to spend major assets. Kapanen, Engstrom was the level I was thinking I would consider Guhle if the deal was basically a 1 for 1 Curious to see what his value is

Thats the rub - he is closer to a 3C or an in between 2-3 Habs could then spend capital on a serious winger perhaps. I can’t imagine McTavish costing grade A prospects

McTavish would be great - I would like a touch more production but he has a lot of positives Left handed centre 220lbs 23 years old signed until 2030/31 at 7 million cap hit roughly 40-50 points last 4 seasons with 15ish games missed Not my first choice but I would be happy if the price wasn’t too crazy

Opportunity for David Savard in some capacity with Laval? (If even interested)

Nurse for Petterson? 🤷‍♂️ Bad contract for bad contract with someone perhaps

He is ending up in Toronto isn’t he? Would not touch with 10 foot pole
