Value of: 15 OA + 24 OA

Or worse.comes to worse sign Askarov to an OS when Preds have Saros.

To Nashville:
8th pick
Evgeni Kuznetsov

That's interesting. What's the deal with Kuznetsov?

If you have a strong volume of mid-6, it might be worth making trades for actual players using those 2 draft picks rather than trying to move up.

 

[Tanknation]

Habs: 5th overall + Justin Barron
Nashville: Askarov + 15th

Nashville gets to draft one of Smith, Michkov or Carlsson + receive a relatively decent young RHD
Habs get their goalie of the future + a mid first in a solid draft

No. Terrible for the Habs.

That's interesting. What's the deal with Kuznetsov?

Has apparently asked to be traded more than once. Would be a good change of scenery for both players, the Capitals have Ryan's little brother Lucas in the minors.

EDIT: Also worth noting, Barry Trotz is taking over as GM of Nashville and Kuznetsov had his best years when he was coaching the Capitals.

I think the draft flattens quickly after the top, so I'd trade as high as #6 for #15 + #24.
