Description

Posted an ACGM earlier, trying a different approach with this one.

Habs aren't a playoff team next year again and will have a few more contracts go off the books. I say wait it out another year, hopefully get two good 1st rd picks (ours and Calgary) in a deep 2025 draft then add in UFA during the 2025 off season.

Hoping a change of scenery for Wahlstrom can help him take the next step in his development. While Ylonen is a NHL caliber player imo, he has no future in MTL. I'm not sure MSL really care for him cause he doesn't give him any minutes.

Trading Struble in the hopes we can add more depth the RHD position. The next LHD to go will be Harris at the '25 TDL.

MTL don’t need Kesselring with already too many dman
ARI don’t need more LHD they are fine with Kesselring
A Jesse Ylonen swap with a pick for Wahlstrom or Dellandrea could make sense

I know its not sexy but realistically, Guhle, Harris and Xhekaj can all play the right side decently if needed. There is no need to go swap LHD for RHD when we have Reinbacher, Mailloux coming as soon as next year.

You think Reinbacher and/or Mailloux will make the big team next year?

I think both of them should spend more time in Laval.

Next year = 25-26 I mean. 24-25 = Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj can play right side if needed.

Makes more sense.

On that timeline, I agree.
