Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Montreal has two firsts that could potentially be moved in Dach/Newhook type deals. Three players I feel they can take these firsts and target who are either on the outs with their teams, aren't being played in a position equal to their potential, or that aren't panning out in their current systems. Who would you target/think would be a good fit in Montreal's core.
Alternatively is there someone specific you would like to draft with these picks (I'm a fan of taking Henry Mews with the Winnipeg first this year if no trade is made).
To be clear, the offer for these players would start with the Winnipeg and Calgary firsts, yes I know they are worth more, as a fan I'd be happy to see the team pay more to acquire these players, I am simply starting the conversation by stating we have two extra firsts that could potentially be used to grab one of these players. Plz don't yell at me.

just because MTL was dumb enough to trade 13th for dach does n ot make Zegras worth a top 10 pick or a formers 1st OA in his 2nd season and a former 5th OA.

None of us are saying "AND" nitwit.

ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
Slafkovsky
(Reinbacher + MTL 25 2nd)
(MTL 24 1st + Beck level prospect of choice)

Furthermore, draft position fails to take into account the organizations ability to draft, developmental choices, or strength of draft. Slaf would have got like 8OA in last year's draft, his draft year was not a strong one, so quit pearl clutching by claiming your 1OA is a guaranteed superstar. NYR though the same **** about Lafrenier and Kakko and look at them now.

ANA would not get ANY one of those

never said slaf would be a superstarm, no one knows what slaf will be, he is in his second season, he could be a bust or a 80 point player only time will tell.

and i sugest you read the forum rules
