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

[Benstheman]

I wouldn't be surprised if they target Boisvert. Hughes loves his NCAA guys. And being a Quebecer is a nice bonus. He also checks a lot of boxes in term of needs. A forward with size, character and offensive abilities. What's to hate?

I don't think Boisvert will be available at #26.

Exactly. And a center on top of that. Good pick in case Dach keeps getting injured.

 

[No More Subban]

I wonder if they're working on trading for another middle six player tonight.. I think they are.

Dach
Newhook
???

Before you cry over pick #57

Thanks for this. So between 1999-2018, which is 20 picks, not one single top 6F or top 3D. Good trade by Hughes.

The habs met Eiserman a few times, which was odd because it wouldn't make sense to pick him at 5 and he wouldn't be there at 26.

So my guess is the habs are expecting Eiserman to fall, and will try to get him. They might need to trade up again to do so.

 

[Demigod Gloves]

Let's goo finally Kent is cooking...

 

[1909]

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

Not really.

 

[montreal]

Eiserman is likely going to the Sharks imo

I don't think Boisvert will be there at 21 either.

Seems like a player who teams reach for in the teens. Maybe Chicago who moved up earlier.

 

[jrom]

Really don't think the value is great here.

We keep saying “gotta spend those picks to convert quantity in quality”.

GM does it “it’s expensive, not too sure”.

 

[waitin425]

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

Getting up to 15 or 17 for sure. I have to question if the difference in hit rate from 26 to 21 is worth 57th? We drafted Lane Hutson late 2nd. There is still some value there.

I'm not totally opposed to it, assuming that they have their eyes on someone, or potential trade.

I did my top 26 but now it is a top 21. Habs will get two of these players.

 

[Benstheman]

Farabee

I would prefer Konecny with an extension.

 

[Balthazar]

Buium and Eiserman

 

[TheFalk]

So are you saying we get out of the 1st round with Buium and Solberg??

don't want Buium, best case frome this scenario is Demidov/Solberg or Boisvert/Beaudoin if no big nanme falls to 21

 

[Kairi Zaide]

The value is good,this pick represents more than just 5 spots it represents access to players who are in a whole other tier.

Looking at potential players available at that spot, I simply do not see that tier separation you're speaking off.

It's also a situation of a > b >> c but (1 - a) > (1 - b) * (1 - c), when it comes to the probability of drafting a quality player

 

[Doublechin]

They’ve identified a player they love that might not be there between 22-26, clearly.

It’ll be interesting to see if they try to move up again if another team trades for a pick ahead of them.

Boisvert
Luchanko
Beaudoin
Hage

All possibilities, I think they don't make this deal for a Basha or Surin that would have had high odds of being available at 26

If they want an RD maybe Badinka?

Or

They move up again, we've got tons of picks, tons of depth on LD, something's gotta give

 

[Playmaker09]

Eiserman is likely going to the Sharks imo

I think he may be their fallback plan, but it would surprise me if they're not targeting one of the 6 D at 11 (probably Yakemchuk).

 

[Benstheman]

The habs met Eiserman a few times, which was odd because it wouldn't make sense to pick him at 5 and he wouldn't be there at 26.

So my guess is the habs are expecting Eiserman to fall, and will try to get him. They might need to trade up again to do so.

They sure have to move up again.

It smells more like the trade for Dach. Chicago wanted the #13 th pick. And Habs acquired that pick from NYI to please Chicago.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Eiserman is likely going to the Sharks imo

I guess unless we find a way to move up to NJ's pick.

 

[montreal]

Now, how much does it cost to move up 6 or 7 spots to get up to 15 or 14?

14th OA has a trade value of 297
15th OA has a trade value of 284

21st OA has a trade value of 218

 

[Skip Bayless]

Eiserman is likely going to the Sharks imo

Grier is looking to add a D.

 

[Playmaker09]

This kinda screams Demidov (5) + Chernyshov (21) to me.

 

[Garbageyuk]

MBN if he slides (one man can dream)
Boisvert
Chernyshov.

Hage.
