At this spot really does not make much sense to me ( as opposed to waiting until tonight to see if the player (s) available). So wondering if this isnt Move 1 of a multiple move, like the Romanov for ultimately Dach deal. Or maybe sets us up for something reachable, as in if Player A is available at 15 then 21stOA plus X gets us 15thOA.

Going for Demidov and Surin? That'd be a dream for me.

The only thing I don't like about this is now we have no second rounder, so we have to wait a full round before any action tomorrow lol

I really think this new "trading up before draft starts" is really smart. GM always say how hard it is to get a deal done on draft floor, because teams see players they like and just decide to stay put.

Doing it ahead of the draft is smart, love this move!

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

Ok then the Habs ought to trade all their 2nds going forward. There's a reason teams generally don't like trading 2nds unless they're in a win now mode. Because those 2nds can turn into complete steals. Plus they're the ones that bolster your pipeline. Look at teams that end up trading their 2nds. All of those teams have absolute garbage pipelines

Look at 2022. Habs got Beck and Hutson with 2nds, one at the beginning and one near the end of the round
