That's great but still no elite skill in the lineup. Players like Suzuki, KK, Drouin would have to step up and have career years to make a difference and we'd have to remove some existing bodies from the lineup.

Are they saying it's what they hear? Or is it just them throwing out names that could be targets like we do on here?

Look you said he's a hell of a lot better than Byron. I told you the stats don't bear that out. So you go and change the goalposts. Now, he's developing. B.J. is 25. What you see is what you get.
Keep the 16th pick....pick the next Matthew Barzal or Anthony Beauvillier..
I am with Pierre Lebrun...why trade Domi when his value is low... it's a terrible investment decision.

Hoffman is a free agent....gifted scorer with a terrific shot.

While it's true. Galchenyuk also didn't have good value and they were saying they shouldn't move him because the return would be low. They were able to get Domi in return for him. And that is a move that has benefited the Habs.
So while I agree that selling low is not a good investment, MB has already done it and came out of that trade with a positive.
Galchenyuk had several unproductive years before being traded.
Domi has more character and an edge to his game...which Galchenyuk never had.

Which would lead me to believe that even after a down year, Domi would be able to bring in a better return. Because if Galchenyuk isn't putting up points, he's not effective. Domi, as you say, plays with more of an edge, he's also faster, and is better with the puck.
I'm also of the opinion that I don't need to have Domi traded. I will be happy if they keep him. I just wish they're not closed to the idea that he HAS to play center.

Add 3-players and really roll 4-lines? I’ll take it. Yes elite talent is preferred but that’d make for real good depth, the 4th line w Domi as C would have advantage over every 4th opposing line IMO. Potentially that’d be Byron-Domi-Lekhonen/Armia

Actually louis leblanc. Mccarron was a late 1st rounder
Adam....I agree Domi should be considered a winger first with possibility of playing centre especially if Suzuki or Kotkiniemi are in slump or are injured.
Cynical response...we need to find the next gem...I have faith in Timmins.
It would leave the Habs in a cap crunch unless they move someone with a high cap hit. Habs have a little over $10M in cap space. Killorn's cap hit is $4.45M. Domi's will likely be $5M or more. I can't see Anderson resigning for less than $3M on a short term deal (1 or 2 years). If he signs a longer term deal it will likely be in the $4M range. Habs also have other RFAs to resign (Mete and Juulsen) unless they don't qualify them and let them walk or trade them.
So it depends on who would be going the other way in the Anderson deal and/or wether or not Tampa Bay retain any salary on Killorn (which would be unlikely if they're dealing him for Hudon alone).
I would definately be down to go after Josh Anderson. I know the guy had 1 goal in 26 games last season but I believe he would be a good fit for Montreal.
He's got good speed, he's big and goes in front of the net (which is useful on the PP), got a decent shot and can play on PK as well.

Lol... So you do not see the bias in your framing?
Mete, on pace for 6 goals (none pp) despite bottom pairing role on his off-side, can only succeed as a defensive dman...
Yet the older Virtanen who was on pace for 20 goals, 1/3 of which on the pp with one of the best young C's in the league, is somehow a more certain bet of filling a roster need?
I don't share your bias, nor your assessment.
