I'm quite sure Habs picking 5. They have to be blown away to go to 9.

That doesn't even make sense

No surprise the Habs are asking a lot. They have pretty high hopes for that pick.

 

[DJJones]

I'd go Lindstrom before Demidov

Yep, if the flames want 5, the price should be very steep.

 

[Michoulicious]

Of course it makes sense.

By removing the protections, it could land Montreal a lottery pick in 2025.

Right now with the protection they probably get the Panthers pick.

 

[Habby4Life]

I'd go Lindstrom before Demidov

Me too, he is exactly what they need.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

10th plus Andersson for 7th plus Chychrun.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I assume Flames are trying to jump up for Iginla's kid

 

[InfinityIggy]

I don't see see what the Flames could realistically offer on top of 9th that would entice Montreal. We have 28th OA, but that seems not near enough. Not really sure what else Montreal would realistically have any interest in.

 

[AvatarAang]

Not surprised, Montreal has consistently proven that they waste their lottery picks:

Reinbacher instead of Michkov
Slaf instead of Cooley
Kotkaniemi instead of Tkachuk

Can you imagine the habs with Michkov, Cooley and Tkachuk? I can’t, because Montreal sucks at drafting and developing lottery picks.

Montreal probably has ptsd that Carolina is going to offer sheet their lottery pick again, wouldn’t be surprised to see the habs trade or waste this pick yet again.

 

[NobleSix]

The ask will be cost prohibitive to any team looking to move up to #5. It would have to be ridiculous overpayment to pry a top 5 pick away from a rebuilding team.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Miller and Kakko for 5th?

It would be more than that. 9ova, remove protection on 2025 pick, and the flames 2026 pick with no protection. Otherwise just say no.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Give us Weegar and you can move up from 9th to 7th!

Remove the top 10 protection on the pick next year, maybe? That could do it.

Right now odds are Montreal get the Panthers pick.

Pass

Another dumb take coming from you!!

How's Toronto playoffs success going? Lol

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

5th overall is such a perfect spot to be... The amount of unreal players available right there is insane... The only stress is choosing the right player

Guess you missed the part where Slafkovsky had
a better season than Cooley and Kotkeniemi was drafted by a completely different GM and scouting team.

Easy mistake its okay

 

[Michoulicious]

Calgary somehow finds a way to get the Devils #10 OA pick.

Calgary gets: #5 OA + #21 OA

Montreal gets: #10 +11 OA

Seems fair to me.
