Trade 1: Detroit laughs. Why would they move a pretty good prospect to just move up 3 spots?
Trade 2: Florida can just easily wait until the deadline to trade a 2nd and prospect, not a 1st in a decent draft.
Trade 3: Why would Montreal do that? If I were Toronto, I am taking that and running. But, they could always just test the waters of free agency and not pay their 1st.

Your best bet: Packaging a couple of those 2nd round picks and Patches to try and get another mid 1st.

I would do the first 2 easily, but I doubt the other teams do it.
As for the 3rd trade no thx, I'm pretty sure Petry could return much more than just a late 1st

Detroit needs defense why would they even consider trade #1? It's the exact opposite of what they should do.

 

[rent free]

Uh no team would do that other than the habs

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

It's only been two days since a Borgstrom to MON thread has been started......maybe they're slowing down?

Borgstrom isn't enough as always so let's add 15th overall....

Pacs can get a mid first on his own.

Travis Harmonic got a 1st +
Look at deadline deals where players get 1sts all the time

I don’t care about Florida at all, and even I feel sorry for you guys.

 

[Newsworthy]

I think the only decent trade is number 1 and that is debatable.
The other two favor Montreal big time.

 

[sansabri]

That's pretty bad for Detroit and Florida. Petry is worth more than that return.

 

[Kevs Security]

Don't think rental Pac is going to fetch Borgstrom like talent let alone a nice pick with it

They will never learn

I think the Habs should take Zadina at 3, then see if Kotkaniemi is still there at 9. If so, trade Zadina + WSH 2nd for 9 + 26 + 29. From there, try to package 26+29+MTL2nd to get to 12-15 range and nab Veleno. To walk away with the 2 best centres in the draft would be a step in the right direction.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Montreal doesn't do the 1st and 3rd, Florida doesn't do the 2nd.

 

[Doyoulikeapples*]

Leafs aren’t trading their first for garbage.

 

[hilarnat]

From a MTL perspective,
I do the 2nd in a heartbeat (but FLA won't).
I don't know Cholowski enough atm but I'd be willing to consider this trade.
I don't do Petry for 25th.

26 29 and a second doesnt get you to that range. Or at least. Certainly doesn't from a flyers perspective. And likely not from a NYI perspective.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Not a chance Detroit does that

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

You’re not getting Borgstrom. Jesus Christ.

 

[Hockeyholic]

You’re not getting Borgstrom. Jesus Christ.

Can he play centre? I bet the Habs would be interested...

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

why would Detroit trade their best Young D, they urgently need D...

 

[Deam78]

Montreal doesn't do the 1st and 3rd, Florida doesn't do the 2nd.

This.

People saying Petry is garbage and that TML wouldn't do that trade are being delusional.

 

[Lebowski]

The Detroit trade seems pretty fair

Florida would never do that trade.

I wouldn't move Petry for just a late 1st.

1) defenseman have a lot more value than wingers
2) Hamonic had 3 years left on a hell of a contract.

Hardly a comparison.

Not defensive dman who are average at best. Calgary got ripped off. Even more so with the high 1st
