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

[26Mats]

Let's see what happens.

I was just saying I don't like picking at 57 because I felt the prospects there were 3rd round value, and was hoping we would move up to 40ish.
But trading out of the 2nd entirely was not what I was expecting.

EIther there's another trade coming or they have good intel someone like Chernyshov or Greentree makes it to 21. Definitely not targeting any defensemen.

Would be nice if we could find a team that needs a player like Harris, Struble or Barron and trade up from 21 with them.

 

[The Great Weal]

Eiserman is likely going to the Sharks imo

Can’t see them going 2 forwards with 2 top 11 picks, especially since at least one of the great dmen will be available.

 

[yianik]

If they found a way to get into the top 10 and come out of this draft with Demidov + Iggy I'll die in peace

Dude, hang in at least until they win a Cup.

 

[Hannibal]

Hopefully Boisvert.

If not, a package for Rutger

 

[26Mats]

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

21st OA has a trade value of 218

In this year's draft ir in general?

 

[Nicko999]

If we get another top 10 pick and get one of Iginla/Sennecke/Eiserman the Buium rumours make more sense.

Especially when you have a surplus of D-men for trade.

 

[26Mats]

Grier is looking to add a D.

Does he want Barron, Strubble, or Harris?

 

[Habs]

guys im starting to feel all funny in my pantaloons

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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

21st OA has a trade value of 218

Pretty sure that chart you reference says you can trade up to 1st with like the 8th and 15th overall picks, or maybe it's even less unless they reworked it

My boy has hit puberty!

I'm so proud.

 

[red devil]

Canadiens with a net trade value -0.23 so the trade is fairly even

Save that for later, you're only supposed to max out at 4 hrs.

 

[Benstheman]

Hage.

Another good target. But i prefer Boisvert as the centerman option.

 

[Garbageyuk]

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

Could’ve got Basha at 26. He might not even go in the first round.

 

[No More Subban]

Buium and Eiserman

Please god no

 

[yianik]

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.

Im thinking 21stOA plus a young D might get you 15thOA. Could even set us up for Senneke if he is there outside the top 10.

I'd move down slightly to move the second pick up. What options are there for that though?

I wouldn't trade Barron, I'm still high on him and I feel we could regret letting him go.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

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

Not sure where you are looking or how you evaluate prospects but every time I go through the excercise there is a clear drop off at 26 from the low 20's and clearly Hughes feels the same.

At 21 there is a possibility that players like Luchanko, MBN, Greentree, Hage etc will be available who I do not foresee any of these players making it to 26. Obviously not all of them will be available at 21. Others like Boisvert and Beaudoin who I like were hardly slam dunks to make it to us as well and being at 21 absolutely guarantees HuGo a shot at many of these players where it would have taken some luck for any of them to fall to us at 26. The value is also there in it gives us a potential avenue to moving closer, if not inside the top 15 where we can absolutely draft a top of the lineup kid. Perhaps even a Catton or Eiserman type depending on how the draft plays out.

 

[Habano]

Yesssir!!!!!!

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Im thinking 21stOA plus a young D might get you 15thOA. Could even set us up for Senneke if he is there outside the top 10.

New jersey would be a good target tbh. See what they're looking for. Include the 21st. If you need to include some other futures. Having 5th and 10th this year would be massive. Imagine coming away with Demidov and a Catton, eiserman, Iginla, etc

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

I wouldn't trade Barron, I'm still high on him and I feel we could regret letting him go.

I do hear what you are saying but his contract and waiver situations are really starting to apply pressure on HuGo to make a larger decision on Barron.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Trading 3 darts for 1? MB is confused

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Get into that top 15!!!

 

[Garbageyuk]

I wouldn't trade Barron, I'm still high on him and I feel we could regret letting him go.

I’ve seen enough. He’s got no heart or compete. He plays timid and soft and his hockey sense is lacking as well. People are holding out hope because he’s a lanky RHD. I don’t think there’s much there, unfortunately. I hope they unload him in a package for something that can actually help us.
