This kind of proposal (where the team remains essentially the same and the “Core 4” playoff heroes remain on the roster) is the type of thing that I like to see happening to the Leafs. Keep it the same and see if it will work after it has failed year after year after year…..

It would surprise me if Utah trades away players that are headliners on the team in the new city, even if it was for a good package of prospects and picks. They will want to make an immediate impact on the fan base. This does not do that.

I cannot see Montreal doing that. They do not need an undersized forward who does not score like he should. Struble provides decent physicality, which Montreal needs.

If Montreal was able to move to #2 they would not likely take a LHD. They need offense at the forward position so they would take Demidov or Lindstrom (maybe even Catton). If they wanted a defenceman they would likely go Levshunov (RHD).

The only reason we couldn’t trade down last year was because Arizona would’ve taken Reinbacher. But this might actually work. Still though probably only worth it if we have a plan to use the extra pick to trade up. Or they are absolutely sure we can still get our guy. But I wouldn’t really want to risk trading down just to draft 25ish when we already have a pick around that spot.</div></div>
I would definitely like the idea of then packaging the Winnipeg and Ottawa pick for a pick in the teens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>That would be a steep price to pay to move up two spots. The Habs dont want to spend another 1st on D after Guhle, Mailloux and Reinbacher the last 4 drafts.
I dont think the difference between Parekh and Yakemchuk would be big enough to spend another 1st to take the one you want. Buium, Silayev and Dickinson all there as well for Cbj if they want.</div></div>
After I posted I also considered editing the trade and having Montreal add their 2nd round pick from Colorado (which would be a late second) to offset some of what Ottawa is getting. Not sure if that would be enough or not.
As one person said above, sometimes teams get really focused on getting "their guy", so maybe Ottawa would do such a trade. The late first round pick that Ottawa has from Boston is nice to have (for Montreal or Ottawa), but given the draft is not tremendously deep, maybe Ottawa would do it to get who they want and not lose that player to Arizona/Utah.

Carolina is stuck with Kotkaniemi. I cannot see any good reason why Montreal would trade back for him. People complain (rightfully so) about how Anderson and Gallagher are overpaid for their production. Kotkaniemi would only add to Montreal's collection of overpaid players.

Maybe not, but this would be #26 + #60 (Colorado- approximately) + #45 (Pittsburgh in 2025- approximately) for #14 plus 2 serviceable NHL players that could help Detroit keep the puck out of the next for a low cost. It is not horrible.
What do you think Montreal would have to add? A bad contract coming back? Another young player like Harris or Barron?

He was scratched again
Some Carolina fans on here have argued that he has great underlying numbers, drives the play for his line and has a lot of "tertiary assists" (those assists where two other people touch the puck before the actual goal scorer puts the puck in the net are crucial)...........
The healthy scratches are probably to make sure that he is well rested for the playoffs where he will be excellent........

I would be very surprised if Montreal takes Connelly at #7. Even aside from the "character issues" (which can be overcome if they are there, since the kids is still a teenager) it is questionable if he would go that high in the draft.

He has already played one more game than last year and has 1 less point, so his points per game is still down a bit.

That’s fair value for Lundell. He had a strong rookie season but his point production has gone down in each subsequent year, despite being on a very good team.

Next Year
If Montreal is going to trade the Winnipeg first round pick, Jordan Harris (in the separate trade) and a 2nd round pick then I would rather that they use all 3 of those assets in just 1 trade to try to move up from the position in the draft that the Winnipeg pick ultimately lands at.
As the others above have said, Kakko is not a big addition to the long term plans for Montreal. He has been in the league for 5 years now and has proven to be a 30 to 40 point player. That is not a key piece to the rebuild.

I agree with you completely. If Calgary does Montreal a favour and finishes out of the top 10 (for a draft spot) next year (perhaps unlikely) but does not make the playoffs (very likely) then Montreal may have 2 picks next year in the 5 to 16 range in a deep draft. This could really help with organizational needs (along with 2 picks in the first round this year). And, as you said, they could have $11,3M in additional cap space with Dvorak, Armia and Savard contracts being up. One more year of true rebuilding (playing poorly) and then start making the bigger changes in the 2024-2025 off season and beyond.

2024 w/ explanations and current standings
Cole Eiserman not even in the top 16?? If that happens I hope that the Canadiens trade up to #17. He may have some flaws, but his ability to score is rare. The other things (improving defensive play and skating) usually can be more easily improved upon by having the team getting the player to work on those things. A second line of Eiserman, Lindstrom and Dach would be really exciting to watch in a few years.

I could see that happening. Although, it is rare for such a high pick to be traded for a goalie, but maybe Calgary and New Jersey work out some other details in a larger trade scenario.

Thread:
6 Newhooks is better than 3 Laines
I am not one of those people that see Lundell as a big upgrade to Montreal's roster. I think if Dach can come back and put his health issues behind him then he could be a good 2nd line center. This year they will probably draft a talented forward (Eiserman, Catton, Lindstrom) to eventually be that 2nd line player with Dach. Hopefully one of Newhook, Roy or even Mesar could fill out the 2nd line. I could see Owen Beck being a very good 3rd line center for the Habs.
With Lundell his offensive numbers have decreased each year in the league (0.67 points per game in his rookie year to 0.45 points per game last year to 0.43 points per game this year). To me that does not indicate a 2nd line center on a contending team. He is not a 2nd line center in Florida and they are a contending team.
So if Lundell is a 3rd line center, how does that impact Owen Beck's placement in the lineup moving forward?
I believe that Montreal has a top 9 forward group that could look like the following in the future:
Caufield Suzuki Slafkovsky
Newhook/Roy Dach 2024 First Round PIck
Newhook/Roy Beck Mesar/Free Agent/ 2025 draft pick
I am not saying that Lundell is bad, I just do not see a pressing need to give up assets to acquire a guy who looks like he has a ceiling of a 2nd line winger (if things turn around for him in a significant way) or a 3rd line center who would displace one of our other good prospects.
