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

[Redux91]

Seems a tad pricey.

I suppose they really like someone who they realized wouldn't be available at 26.

Again
Can't understand that sentiment

In what universe is it too 'pricey' ?

It's trading a pick you would make for a player at 57 that has so and so chance of making it (low)

To turning whoever we took at 26 into someone potentially better at 21 OR the 21 pick becomes a shinier asset another team may want..?

Hahahahahaha that's like taking info from the toilet

Was gonna say... I'm amazed people even still say His name ffs lol..

 

[themilosh]

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

hugo has a trade in place with a higher team (if required). The trade he has ready will include #21 (instead of #26) which will be "just" enough to get the other team to bite.

Similar to what he did to acquire Dach from Chicago by getting the #13 pick from NYI prior. I think he hears one GM say, "Kent, turn that #26 into a #21 and you're good to go"..

 

[MadMslm]

Letourneau at 21 mentions McCagg....a possibility. That's early AF.

With that size he was going earlier either way. Who knows if thats really the target, but big guys are always a premium.

 

[themilosh]

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

now youre thinking like Albert Fish!

With that size he was going earlier either way. Who knows if thats really the target, but big guys are always a premium.

watch us leave the first round with Silayev and Letourneau.

 

[Frank Drebin]

The last time we drafted 26 we picked scherbak. Get rid of that damn pick

Already gone bruh

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm thinking SJ will snag one of those D with the #11 pick. They'll be in good position again next year to get another stud forward.

Eiserman and Cellebrini are great friends. I think they’ll take him.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Already gone bruh

Mesar
Scherbak
Juulsen

At pick 26

Poehling and McCarron at 25

 

[jaffy27]

I don’t think he’s using that pick for a prospect. Seems more like a trade chip to me.

A trade chip to move 10-14…..

One of Eiserman, Yakemchuk, Catton, reluctantly Connelly, maybe Sennecke or one of the D would drop??

Think the cost is this years 1st (21) and a pick between Harris/Struble

 

[Garbageyuk]

I agree that something has to give and we can't keep them all. I still think it's way too premature to say that Barron won't amount to a quality dman however whether we trade him or not. We won't know this for a few years as not everyone figures it out at the same rate. Also we still aren't deep in the system at RD.

At this point, the small chance that he becomes a top 4 D doesn’t matter. He’s not good enough to be on the roster full time, and we’ve seen enough that he shouldn’t be taking up a roster spot over younger more promising prospects.

And we’re deep enough at RD that a guy like Barron shouldn’t be blocking better prospects from getting playing time, here or in Laval. If you’re worried about trading a young D before knowing what we have, then the risk is greater in trading away other RD prospects. Like I said, we’ve had a good long look at Barron, and he hasn’t been able to stick even on the bottom pairing on a lottery team. I think it’s time to move on.

At RD we’ve got:

Savard
Kovacevic
Reinbacher
Mailloux
Konyushkov

Where do you feel he fits in here? He’s not good enough currently to play over Savard or Kovacevic, and he hasn’t shown enough to have his development prioritized over any of Reinbacher, Mailloux, or even Konyushkov if he was to come over. He’s just the odd man out here; it’s not about wanting to trade him or whether he eventually gets it together. It’s about playing the odds, managing roster spots, and prioritizing the development of younger more promising prospects.

 

[The Real Timo]

I think 7th is the key here. Bergy fleeced us!!!

I said it was a tad pricey, so it's not exactly the same as you frame it. It's not egregious.... closer to splitting hairs, really.

The last time we drafted 26 we picked scherbak. Get rid of that damn pick

Last time we moved up (I think) in first round was for tinordi so we are just substituting one bad omen for another

 

[MadMslm]

watch us leave the first round with Silayev and Letourneau.

Who knows, maybe management were size queens all along.

I don’t hate the idea of Silayev like some, his offensive upside is a bit underwhelming, but lots of tools if he can put those pieces together.

If Demidov is available and they pass on him, would be frustrating way to start the night.

My feeling is he won’t be there anyways.

It’s pretty crazy we’ve drafted 26oa 3x in the past decade before trading the jets pick away.
25oa 2x
3oa 2x
And now 5oa 2x

 

[CDN24]

Already gone bruh

yeah and the bruins had 25 that year too and drafted pasta

 

[Garbageyuk]

Hahahahahaha that's like taking info from the toilet

The fact that clown still has such a sizeable following on here tells you all you need to know about this place.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Mesar
Scherbak
Juulsen

At pick 26

Poehling and McCarron at 25

Trevor Timmins: “scoutimg. ”

 

[Scintillating10]

Tony says we traded up to draft Michael Hage

Mesar

DA FUTURE is bright era. Good times

 

[Habs13]

It's all happening... steep price to move from 26 to 21 but let's see what the plan is!

Savard is not staying long, Kovacevic will get a better contract elsewhere next year.

Barron has played 201 pro games. Only 94 in the NHL.

More time may bring more consistency.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Basu said the trade might be a precursor to something else.

Yeah, it’s a draft pick. The something else is definitely happening later today.

Holy shit everyone it's happening stay calm

Either that or they made the trade before the draft so LA couldn't change their minds

 

[montreal]

If @Michoulicious is right, do we want Mcgroarty? Seems good

depends on the cost, I wanted the Habs to draft him but worried he might be a little to heavy footed. Good size/strength and can play more of a power game but with good offense. Will likely need to work on getting quicker, more explosive.
