Confirmed with Link: Canadiens acquire 2024 1st (21OA) from the Kings for 2024 1st (26OA), 2024 2nd (57OA) and 2024 7th (198OA)

[eklund the clown]

Very strange and expensive to move 5 spots .The guy they want maybe there at #26

 

[le_sean]

Kent is cooking up something let’s gooooo

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I just hope we dont use that 21th to trade for a newhook type of player
3rd liners are not needed

 

[Habsfan18]

Kent is cooking, so I’m interested to see where this goes. But I HATE trading 2nd rounders.

Kind of expensive to move up 5 spots.....it is such a crap shoot at that pick anyways.

Either we have another deal in place, or really have our eyes on someone in the later first round, that we don't want to chance missing out on.

It's a 2nd round pick to move up 5 spots in the 1st round.

I'll do that everyday and twice on Sunday

Just obviously would be nice to have got 15 or 17 or wtv

But our guys are DOING stuff, that's the most important

 

[KevSkillz4]

I really like Andrew Basha and Sacha Boisvert at this range!

 

[Nicko999]

Weird doing that trade before knowing who is available but I like it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Interesting. I wonder who they might be after.

Late 2nd*

 

[26Mats]

Nice! Now we just need one more move up.

So nice to have a regime that likes to move up instead of always looking to move back!

 

[OpenIceHit]

There must be another trade. They wouldn’t do all that just to move up 5 positions.

 

[Benstheman]

Ok that's bad. I was dreaming already of Demidov at 5 but now, i also dream of MBN at 21...

 

[Justin11]

Interesting. I wonder who they might be after.

Wondering the same.

agree
I think the 21 pick will be gone in a deal

Trading 2nd is generally not a good idea. Thankfully for the Habs, they have almost too many prospects (contracts). This isn't a consequential move both in the short and long term relative to giving up the 2nd

They couldn't keep it for the draft? I wanted to see Gary Bettman say we have a trade to announce.

 

[Koivu11]

When’s the last time we moved up in the first round? Was it when we moved up for Tinordi?

 

[TCIH]

Moving up for Tinordi... what a bleak sentence.

 

[Gustave]

Either we get in CATTON territory or McGroarty territory.

Off chance, it’s for Luchanko.

Catton would be gold

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I'd guess we're targeting one of Hage, Boisvert, or Greentree.

 

[Wats]

Seems like a lot to move up 5.

What are you talking about? A late second-round pick has barely any chance at being fruitful.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maybe a guy like Liam Greentree ?

Seems kind of pointless unless they have something to move up more.
