I feel like VAN might be a prime trade partner for MTL as they need to shed cap (MTL has plenty of space), don't have a deep prospect pool (MTL has plenty of solid prospects) and could really use a young D with potential (with MTL more likely than not to draft Reinbacher at 5th, one of our young D could become expendable). So how about this :
MTL : Tyler Myers + 11th OA pick
VAN : Justin Barron + Riley Kidney + 2nd RD pick 2024
That way VAN accomplish many things:
They get plenty of cap space to maybe sign a guy like Severson
They get more quantity in terms of prospects (2nd + Kidney is highly skilled but also redundant in MTL's prospect pool with the likes of Roy, Farrell, Beck, Mesar, etc.).
MTL gets to draft Reinbacher and one of Benson, Leonard or Dvorsky at 11th (I would even try to move up again in the top 10 (a team like WAS could be a good fit at 8th) to secure Leonard or Benson).
