Confirmed with Link: Canadiens trade for Christian Dvorak for Cond. '22 1st (best but top 10 protected) + '24 2nd

[McGuires Corndog]

We keep Poehling and Guhle?

That's excellent value, I think.

I think Poehling might surprise some people. He may end up being every bit as good as KK…

 

[L4br3cqu3]

so what happens if one of the picks ends up top 10? Does that mean phoenix has to default for the other pick?

Spot on.

That top-10 protection was a serious must, Bergevin got this right.

17 goals in 56 games equates to about 25 goals over 82 games. The kid can play.

I like the goals and that he's good on the pp.

But we need a playmaking center.

We already have Caufield, Toffoli, Hoffman, Gallagher to score. Who's going to get them the puck?

 

[TopTenPlayz]

What happens if Habs get 1st and 2nd overall in 2021-22 draft?

Then, we keep 1st and Arizona gets 2nd overall pick

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Good to see some "neutral" reporters chiming in. Guess time will tell. It's not all doom and gloom like some people here are making it out to be.

 

[Gamimenos]

I love this deal.

 

[Frankenheimer]

What a fail from tsn690. Christ

 

[Zorba]

We keep Poehling and Guhle?

That's excellent value, I think.

No kidding. A protected first rounder for a legit 2C for 4 years. What’ a deal. Wow

 

[Adam Michaels]

You get Dvorak for just picks. No roster player or a prospect goes the other way. Damn right!

 

[Belial]

f*** yeah!!!!

We'll love this guy!

 

[JohnLennon]

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Wouldn't that be something? I imagine Carolina gets 2nd overall.

Yes, they get the worst pick and a 2nd in 2024.

 

[NobleSix]

We get a better player for less money.

Thanks Canes

 

[Koivu11]

Dvorak’s junior stats are extremely impressive. Let’s hope he still has room to improve his offense in the NHL.

 

[Zorba]

I love this deal.

How can anyone not. Great deal. Plus no guhle or poehling

 

[salbutera]

Why does Arizona make this deal though? Seems like a dumb move for them...

Like I said there’s been rumors ownership wants all long term deals off the books.

 

[OnTheRun]

I'm so confused, did the Habs like...reverse protect the picks? Like instead of protecting it they are ensuring that ARI gets the best pick possible? I must be reading this wrong.

The longs and shorts is:

Yotes get the best of our non-top10 pick or the worst of our top10 pick

Scenario 1) we get pick 12 and 17, Yotes get pick #12
Scenario 2) we get pick 3 and 18, Yotes get pick #18
Scenario 3) we get pick 2 and 8, Yotes get pick #8

 

[Hoochi Papa]

Another f***ing disaster after disaster. 100% shit trade.

 

[sampollock]

Tony is no way tuned in, still says zip

 

[Treb]

So Arizona can’t get the first overall pick from the habs like some are yammering about

If the Habs have a top10 pick, the other one goes to Arizona.

[Tyson]

You get Dvorak for just picks. No roster player or a prospect goes the other way. Damn right!

I was concerned Poehling or Ylonen would be part of the package.

 

[Belial]

You get Dvorak for just picks. No roster player or a prospect goes the other way. Damn right!

No shit! Great stuff! I'm a happy man!
