Unless he quickly makes massive amelioration on his skating ability, I don't see it happening "in the near future"..
Yeah, Nolan is definitely going to be a bit of a project. That said we’ve had a lot of success improving the skating of prospects for whom that was their chief limiting factor, and he has all the other tools to be successful. If we can fix his skating he could end up being the steal of the draft (and if not, at least we took a shot.)
And it’s not that we overrate the Feete, it’s that they both fit a key need for us and we have no reason to trade them. That, combined with the fact that Montreal doesn’t have a lot to offer that a) would interest us, and b) we can afford cap-wise, means that the list of acceptable payment options is going to consist of pieces you don’t want to move. As would be expected when you’re asking for a team’s two best prospects.
