Ryan O' Reilly?
Next year's 1st (top 10 protected), Toronto's 2018 2nd, Nikita Scherbak, and Andrew Shaw.
Swap Shaw for Pacioretty and BUF says yes.
I would probably say yes too, this team needs a centre so bad....

5 isn't a high bar.
If he repeats last season's performance of 5 goals against goalies this trade is a disaster.
He needs to be at 15-20 to have even a chance to win the deal.Every analyst I’ve heard discussing this trade has stated that Domi has tremendous upside and that his 9 goals last year was the result of a bad year. He has the potential for 20 goals for sure, and can also setup the play. If he wins more puck battles than Galchenyuk and isn’t easily knocked off the puck, then I can see why MB made this trade. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t love this trade but I also don’t think Domi is Deslauriers. Domi has the potential to be Gallagher.

I’m excited and convinced more than ever that Kotkaniemi will be a Hab.

This is now my official template for every Habs line.
Pacioretty - Somebody at Centre - Scherbak
Lol! We should abreviate it to: SAC
Easier to type.

Easier said than done though. Suppose Arizona wants Hughes - why would they trade up? Let the Habs take Kotkaniemi at 3, Ottawa gets Zadina/Tkachuk at 4 and they get their guy without giving up any other assets.
True. My scenario only works if ARI want Zadina or Tkachuk - they do the trade to grab their guy (eg. Zadina). Then OTT takes the other (Tkachuk).

I’m hearing Gallagher really enjoyed playing with Domi on Team Canada, wonder what they would do together on a line in MTL?
Domi - Somebody at Centre - Gallagher

I usually don't trust Engels' rumours, but if this is true: I can see the other half of the Domi trade happening with Arozona and Montreal swapping Draft picks and the CH getting a LD
Yes, I agree that will happen if MTL is deadset on taking Kotkaniemi. No use taking him at 3rd when you can trade down and grab another asset and still get your guy at 5.

Bergevin literally said it was a 1 for 1 trade. Nothing more
Yes, that was the trade. Doesn’t mean they didn’t discuss other items as well.

Why would we get a blackhawks player (duclair) for that?
Crap, meant Dauphin or some other C prospect that might be of interest to MB.
Or they swap 2nd rounders... my point is I bet MB is not done dealing with ARI. It just feels there could be more to the discussions that took place when Domi for Galchenyuk was completed.

I don’t see it happening with how many picks we have in the second round.
Maybe. Or instead of a pick MTL gets Duclair and ARI’s 5th overall pick for their 3rd overall pick?
Bah, the anticipation and speculations is killing me!

Burke isn't with an NHL team anymore but he still has a bunch of connections in the league.
I’m willing to bet that MB had discussions with Arizona during the Domi/Galchenyuk trade about swapping 1st round picks. It wouldn’t surprise me to see MTL trade the 3rd overall for ARI’s 5th overall & one of their 3rd rounders - MB is waiting until the draft to see if CAR takes Svechnikov. If they do, then I predict the following:
1. Dahlin - BUF
2. Svechnikov - CAR
3. Zadina - ARI
4. Tkachuk - OTT
5. Kotkaniemi - MTL
Montreal gets their future 1C and an extra pick in the third round. Kotkaniemi was their guy all along IMO.
-
At RW we have Gallagher, Shaw, Hudon, Deslauriers and Scherbak.
I agree that one of them will be traded and Scherbak seems the most likely because of his upside. No way MB moves Gallagher.

Habs and Oilers are talking again.

This article (French only) talks about how Chucky was listening to the advice of his Dad rather than the Mtl coaches. It also says that Chucky would check his phone between periods to read his Dad’s texts concerning his play. Weird.

I am really not sold on Kotkaniemi. I mean I'm sold on the possibility of him as an NHLer but not as a third overall pick.
I would much rather shoot for the second round centres and try for a centre in 2019.
Not sure if it was mentioned but who are centres in this draft that look promising after Kotkaniemi and Veleno?
-
I’m a Habs fan and will always be a Habs fan. Despite losing Chucky, who I liked quite a bit, that doesn’t mean I’ll start cheering for the Coyotes. Arizona sucks, they don’t deserve a team. I could care less about Chucky now. Welcome to Mtl Domi.
Go Habs Go!

Pierre Lebrun on TSN just reported the Domi trade is the first domino to fall for Montreal. I predict a few more trades will happen and we’ll get our LD at the draft.

We don't need Strome. We have Drouin, Danault and our new #1C as of July 1 - Tomas Plekanec. That's all the C depth a team led by Marc Bergevin needs
Max Domi played centre in Arizona towards the end of the year. You can bet 100% he’ll play centre in Mtl.
C depth chart is now:
Drouin
Domi
Danault
De La Rose
All begin with D...

I'll say Zadina will be his replacement
This was my first thought. Zadina now replaces Galchenyuk. And we have Domi who is half the price of Galchenyuk. Does this mean Pacioretty comes back and signs longterm?
-
Trade Pacioretty and keep Galchenyuk. That’s how I see it.
I would also trade Shaw, Alzner, Schlemko, Benn and McCarron. Throw in a couple of our second rounders and surely MB could get a decent LD.

concidering our lack of depth at C I think Kotkaniemi might make the team right away.
If they draft Kotkaniemi then yes, he plays right away as the third line centre:
Drouin
Danault
Kotkaniemi
De La Rose
barring any trades or signings of course.
