Oh well, OK then. Better than nothing.

[Kudo Shinichi]

Confirmed!

You saying habs are a good team yet we finished 24-32 in a weak canadian division and made the playoffs because we lost in OT against Edmonton at the end of the season.

I’m not saying you guys are great, but you have more forward talent than Arizona did last year.

 

[RangerBoy]

Arizona trades Dvorak to Montreal in exchange for: i) the better of Montreal's own 1st round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and Carolina's 1st round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft (previously acquired by Montreal); and ii) Montreal's own 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
However, in the event that either or both of Montreal's own 1st round pick and/or Carolina's 1st round pick are Top 10 picks in the 2022 NHL Draft (after the final Draft order has been established in accordance with the results of the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery), then Montreal will instead transfer to Arizona: i) the worse of Montreal's own pick and Carolina's pick (previously acquired by Montreal); and ii) Montreal's own 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.

Canadiens acquire forward Christian Dvorak

Nice, they even got it top 10 protected

If it’s the Montreal pick I’m happy. If it’s the Carolina pick, I’m disappointed

 

[HabsDood]

Thanks

 

[IranCondraAffair]

I don't see this as an upgrade long-term or short term. I think Montreal fumbled the bag. I don't think they had much choice after the offersheet, but such is life.

They both score at a pretty similar rate 5v5. Kotkaniemi is younger, bigger, has more upside, and is probably a bit more physical.

I guess we'll see.

I’m not saying you guys are great, but you have more forward talent than Arizona did last year.

Heavily debatable

 

[Langdon Alger]

If it’s the Carolina picks, I’ll be disappointed. If it’s Montreal picks, that’s okay.

Well, you were expecting too much anyway. Classic hfboards.

 

[HabsQC]

Yeah baby f*** you Canes

This might explain why it was taking so long for MB to decide on JK. He had to ensure that there was a deal on the table for Dvorak

 

[Apex Predator]

Nice, they even got it top 10 protected

kind of unless both picks end up being top 10

 

[BruinsBtn]

This guy is an upgrade over KK, without a doubt. And at $4.45m, this is a masterstroke.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

kind of unless both picks end up being top 10

Its either or both

 

[rt]

Oh. It’s the better of the 2 picks and top 10 protected? Meh. That’s okay.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Which 1st? I wouldn't if its Carolina's.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

With all those first-rounders they must be trying to attract a new buyer.

But wondering which draft picks those are, Montreal or Carolina's, or if it's on the condition where AZ will get the lower of the two. But I wouldn't have given a first for Dvorak.

But wait until the Coyotes trade Chychrun for a 1st round pick.

And maybe Schmaltz, Hayton, Keller, and Crouse (Crouse would get a late 1st).

 

[KevSkillz4]

Welcome to Montreal!! Happy to have Dvorak on my team, he is going to be a great top 6C for Habs!!

 

[Jee]

Christian Dvorak with 17 goals at 4.5M$ until 2024-25 is much better than Kotkaniemi at 6.1M$ with 5 goals

 

[Tommy Shelby]

This is bad, really bad.

 

[Baksfamous112]

If it’s the Montreal pick I’m happy. If it’s the Carolina pick, I’m disappointed

it’s the better of the two unless its a top 10 pick then it become the worst of the two. So, for example, if Montreal ends up with the 10th overall and Carolina wins the cup, the deal becomes the 32nd overall pick and a 2024 2nd

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lol at that one Arizona fan suggesting Dvorak was worth a Top 10 1st.

A very late 1st is much more in line with the value of an average(IMO Below average) 2C.
