Habs might be interested. But not going to grossly overpay. We Going to get good player at 5. I wouldn't do it but good chance Hughes would give up Jets pick. Most I would offer is Harris or Barron to switch picks.Apparently not a ton of consensus in this #2-7 range with many of these picks having their specific pro's and con's. Hypothetically if Kyle Davidson wouldn't want Demidov, what would Anaheim, Columbus, Montreal, Utah, and Ottawa give up for the #2 pick? This likely doesn't happen as we rarely see teams move up or down this early in NHL drafts, but this particular draft at least leaves room open for discussion.
Only stipulation is the trade would at the very least involve a swap of 1st rounders this draft i.e. a trade with CBJ would be the #2 for #4 +++
I would keep Jets pick in case Hage or Beaudoin is there.
