It would live and die with Draisaitl.RNH + 10OA should get that 3OA.
Would be Montreal's best centre by a mile. Will still get a good prospect at 10.

If he’s included, the trade could happen.
If he’s not, it won’t.
Yep. No real interest in trading up especially to pick a winger over d help unless the price is LOW, I'd only trade up to whatever we can get by adding 40th OA. Lol at Drai for Chucky + 3rd OA, when will Habs fans realize that we are not gonna gift them talented young centers for 1/3 of their value.Edmonton fans are pretty much fine with picking up whoever drops.
Assuming Dahlin, Svech and Zadnia go 1-2-3, that leaves a cluster of Wahlstrom, Kotkaniemi, Hughes, Dobson, Smith, Bouchard, Tkachuk, and Boqvist. Two of those guys will be available at 10, which is fine by us.
Definitely not doing anything monumentally stupid like giving up Draisaitl or RNH.

You really don't. If big, 2 way ,22 year old, signed for 8 years centers are so easy to get. My challenge to you is: go get one.Galchenyuk + 3rd overall is 1/3 of Draisaitl's value? lmao
I dont wanna imagine what you think he is worth

Well, you gifted NJ a franchise winger, so we just assumed you were in a giving mood. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If only we had a superstar defenceman we could throw in for the ghost of Shea Weber to really take this deal to the next level.
Subban for Weber 1 for 1 is a lot closer in value than Hall for Larsson. Try again, champ.
Can sit here all day and argue who's dumb and who's dumber between our respective GMs but like I've said before maybe if they trade with each other neither comes home with magic beans for a changeNo argument from me there but at least Larsson fills a need for the Oilers.
Habs traded the better player in the same position for an older one with a worse contract. Wasn't this the time that the trade was actually supposed to be in the Habs favour before Weber gets too old?
Still 7 years to go on that contract.
Lol noNo secret the Habs want a centre. I’m guessing if the Oilers want that pick, it’ll probably be Draisaitl for Galchenyuk + 3rd OA
Exactly. Habs aren't moving 3rd overall for RNH, a 50pt 2nd line C that makes 6M.
At least if they trade it for an elite winger like Drai, they can try him at C and hope he develops chemistry with Drouin.
If EDM and MTL were to swap picks, what would the plus from EDM be?
MTL fans apparently not high on Zadina/Kontkaniemi or anyone who might be available with that pick. Edmonton would probably feel differently and would be high on Zadina.
What's the plus?
Habs are better of drafting Zadina and trading Patch to the Panthers for their 15th pick and another piece. Then take who is left from Kotkaniemi, Veleno, Hayton, or Kupari. That would be my plan
Montreal needs help at center and left defense. To move the 3rd they would need at least a #2 NHL center, or good second pairing left D-man. Perferably a first line center or top pairing left D-man. But we could add for the right player.If EDM and MTL were to swap picks, what would the plus from EDM be?

This is actually a very good proposition for both teams.
That means that Bergevin will most likely do the complete opposite.
Since 2000, #10 OA picks
Tippett
Jost
Rantanen
Ritchie
Nichushkin
Koekkoek
Brodin
MPS
Hodgson
Ellerby
Frolik
Bourdin
Valabik
Kostitsyn
Nystrom
Blackburn
Yakubov
Its too early on Tippett and Jost, but outside of Rantanen and Brodin, lost of disappointment and mediocrity there.
In every thread, don't think #10 has as much value as Oilers fans think, although it always depends on who is there at 1o and what individual teams value a certain guy at. Can't see 10 being moved until draft day unless its an extra piece on a deal.
