Confirmed Trade: [MTL/ARI] Christian Dvorak for 2022 1st round pick and 2024 2nd round pick

[Apex Predator]

Its either or both

Oh okay I misread that then. So if both are too 10 picks what happens?

 

[frederixx]

Honestly if it's Carolina 1st, it's a good move by Bergevin.

 

[SlafCaufield]

this is a huge win for the habs

 

[Treb]

So it's best pick between MTL and CAR, but top-10 protected (in which case the other pick goes to ARI).

They get the lower pick. Coyotes get the higher pick in the event both picks are outside top 10.

They get the better of the 2 1sts unless it's top 10 then it's the worse of the 2.

 

[Cloned]

Heavily debatable

You essentially traded a guy with 28 points combined over the last two years for a guy with 7 more goals than KK had points over the same time span.

It’s a win for you guys, and I hate the Habs, so I’m not calling it because I like your team.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

What if both picks are top 10

 

[Hunter368]

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.

Pretty much agree……lateral move in the end but certainly add some entertainment factor to the summer. Dvorak is tiny bit better “maybe” right now but KK has more upside. Haha

Ok I’m ready for the season to start.

Arizona wins

Montreal and Carolina both lose

L O L

 

[HOPE]

I’m done with hockey.


The best of the 2 first is the cherry on the sunday.

 

[PromisedLand]

Um.... so Canes could have had Dvorak for 4.5 AAV locked in instead they decided to sign KK for one year at 6.1 AAV?

wow

 

[Captain97]

What if both picks are top 10

Then Carolina loses and I'm okay with that

On paper you think we look good , but its the same players from years now , trust me we look way much better on paper than on ice.

Top 10 protected...

Top 10 protected

This is realistically about as good as the Habs could have done as a response to that offer sheet. Nice trade. Dvorak will be a great fit in the Habs top 6.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Didn’t believe Dvorak was worth a 1st and 2nd but it’s Bergevin.

 

[The don godfather]

Let me get this straight if Montreal pick is very high let's say 8th overall. Do yotes get that yes or no ?

 

[Benstheman]

Heavily debatable

Hummmm no it’s not.

They are trading there own pick it's not really a win.

 

[MaxDummy]

If someone came here with a KK vs Dvorak proposal last year Habs fans wouldve laughed at it

 

[SlafCaufield]

lol so we flipped Koko for picks and then flipped those picks for a similarly aged 1C who is much better than Koko,,

I'm in!

 

[HabsQC]

They get the lower pick. Coyotes get the higher pick in the event both picks are outside top 10.

No in that even they would get the better

 

[Archijerej]

If that's Carolina's 1st rounder, then I'm frigging extatic.

 

[HabsQC]

Good job Bergevin, you made out well. Pretty good GMing IMO.
