Like the 2023 first, especially unprotected.

A decent return for Chiarot, about equal to what we got for Toffoli. I guess this goes to show that teams won't trade A-prospects for that level of player (2nd line F or 2nd pair D). Let's hope HuGort have a good eye for scouting with the Heineman and Smiley acquisitions.

 

Two 1st rounders in each of the next two drafts - time to assemble a championship core!

I think it's more than decent. I love an unprotected first for next year. Florida is a strong team but as we have seen, things can spiral downward.

Smilanic was the Panthers 8th ranked prospect when we did their top 10 this summer.

Ed Wheeler also ranked him eighth in his prospect review a few months ago in the Athletic. He was a bit more pessimistic about the potential, though, basically seeing his ceiling as a bottom-six forward.

 

Regardless of how well he turns out, I think HuGo did well on this trade.

Now if we're not in a full rebuild we got 3 1st round picks we can trade if we wanted to to bring in an elite player via trade.

It'll be a little while before I get a write-up on HW about this since I'm on the night shift on PHR tonight.  But here's my write-up on the deal for them including some notes on the draft picks the Habs are getting which technically have a condition attached to each of them.

Whoa, tough crowd. I would say that this is an outstanding return and I’m really pleased he didn’t go to Toronto.

I love reading the Leaf chat boards, all the Chiarot haters can't believe what Montreal got. The Leafs might just be seeing a lot more of Chiarot this year. I wonder who I would cheer for in a Leafs - Florida series. hmm...

Always Florida over leafs not even a question 😹😂

Seeing as to how I’m 10 min away from Quinnipiac and one of my managers is a cheerleader for the bobcats, I might have to convince him to come in for a pizza and a meet and greet. 
 

Great trade!!

Thanks Commandant, I like this:

 

"He’s a pretty safe prospect though though, as even if the offence never explodes he should be able to play a third or fourth line role going forward. "

 

If he turns to become as good as "healthy Byron" or "peak Lehkonen" I will be really happy.

 

The Habs have done really well on this. Congratulations to Hug-Gort on two excellent returns for Toffoli and Chairot.

 

I wish all the best to Ben Chiarot in wearing the jersey with pride and playing to his full potential.

True ... but for a sweep or to take it to the limit and giving them hope, only to see it stuffed out in a Game 7 trouncing and shatter Leafs' fans hearts?
