Player who scores 28 goals dump? Especially less than three million a year, come on,
Habs are rebuilding and Don't need a guy who's going to be on the wrong side of his 30s when we are contending. And we absolutely don't need a new Michal Ryder who's only positive asset is his shot on the PP.
Therefore. For the Habs, he is a Dump.
So. Again, considering UPL is def not worth a 1st on his own as there are multiple better G prospect in this draft that will likelly be there at 29-32, what incentives are you going to give us to make that deal?
Wings, Preds and Hawks (who have a ton of 2nd round picks and might be interested in getting another in the 1st) are the teams that I was looking at when making my comment.
For the Wings picks, the 42nd and the 43rd for the 29th and the either the 69th (Habs' 3rd round pick) or the 101st (Habs' own 4th round pick) seem to make sense in terms of historical draft pick values, depending on which "value chart" you look at.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Habs don't need depth we have one of the deepest prospect pool in the NHL. We need sure fire talent.
Either Habs move up with the pick, or draft, or trade him for a player like Lafreniere/PLD with upside. I do not see a world where Habs trade this pick for more picks considering we have as we speak to.many prospect and not enough contract spots.
