Value of: Montreal's four 2nd round picks

[connormcmuffin]

Bit of a silly thread but what would you give up for the Habs four second round picks as a package?

[Hostile Offer]

We are likely keeping them all if the idea here is to trade up for another first. Our prospect pool is fairly shallow so it's quantity over quality for us in that sense.

A lot obviously depends on who's available so if this is seriously considered, it's not before the draft anyway.

Jakob Silfverberg

I think for MTL the best play is to just keep them. We desperately need to try and start building up that prospect pool.

 

[sansabri]

Surely two of those picks will be traded for a winger.

 

[DarthProbert]

Brock Nelson for one of them. Or Krejci for one or two of them.

Any winger can be a center in montreal

This is correct but I have a hard time believing Bergavin will do that.

Idk montreal should try to win before weber / price are ancient

 

[Stuzchuk]

with Bergevin trading, you'll end up with R. Kesler

in all seriousness though, having one of the worst (if not the worst) prospect pool, I'd draft all four of them... you need to develop players at some point you know

Exactly This. Unless they can by some miracle use a few to get another pick in the first round, I don't see the point of trading them all for an older player when the team desperately needs to grow its pool of prospects.

One has already started to fall off.

 

[pezcore]

Might be willing to trade 2 to move up in the mid 1st round or a player but we cant afford to move all 4.

 

[Seanaconda]

One has already started to fall off.

Which one ? Weber was injured and niemi outplayed price so it could be either

34+38+56+62=811. Technically that should get you in top 5 value wise. Question is will anybody in and around there be willing to dump that pick for lots of maybe. If you take out one of those picks you drop to the low to mid teens. MB needs to do something bold because if I am CP I'm asking for a trade unless they get JT in the offseason.

we still have a pretty big window if Price bounce back this year. I mean look at luongo.
I would say a 7-8 years window. Even if Price is done after 5 years we have solid prospects goalies in Primeau and Mcniven. You can say what you want to Montreal but you can't say they don't know how to draft good goalies throughout there history.

Yeah hopefully he ages well and doesnt pull a turco

Draft day is gonna be exciting for Habs fans. 2nd round picks are very valuable and having four should result in some trades in one direction or the other.

Weber.

That trade was an L from day 1.

 

[Lays]

26th or 28th for a pair of 2nds?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Jakob Silfverberg

Would love that guy especially if he were willing to re-sign

Yeah that article is terrible. If you're trading from around 5 for those 4 picks you're an idiot. Unless of course after number 4 the consensus is 5-70 are interchangeable, which why trade 4 picks for 1 ?

Montreal would be best to keep the 2 higher 2nds and trade the lower 2 to move up to grab someone else that might be a faller

 

[CapSpace]

I guess if there is a player on board that Montreal really want it's likely to happen, or something similar.

 

[nilssont]

34+38 for Ducks 23rd pick

 

[xNogaitx]

IMO if you package both 34 & 38 it should be to move up into the 15-20 range. Anything higher could be had for one of the two + either of 56 or 62 or even 66 depending on how low it is.

 

[Groo]

I'd do 34th and the 38th for the Sharks 21st
