Find me a post where a Habs fan thought we'd get a 1st for Kovacevic......
Meaningless post.

you said i have to wait until the deal is done before celebrating victory.

and there are proposals from montreal fans in this thread: kovy for evans

unless you think evans is worth a 4th the trade was a win for the devils and we can celebrate the victory. if not, i happily send you another 4th for evans.

ONE PERSON suggests "So maybe Kovacevic + 2nd + b/c prospect?" and that means there are "proposals from montreal fans" and Jake Evans' value is a 4th-round pick?

I'll probably get slammed for this but what would the Habs want from the Leafs for Evans and Savard?

Honestly as a package I'd want to try for a 1st. If it can't be had 2x2nds + late round pick.

Essentially
2nd + 3rd for Evans
3rd + 5th for Savard

Then swap the two 3rds for a second and it becomes

2nd, 2nd, 5th

that was the ask for evans + armia (50% retained).

from the thread. where a devils fan was asking for a 2/3c

Would NJ fans do Evans for Kovacevic?

Yep, I think both Kovacevic and Evans have similar value.

One is a defensive, good on the PK, good at face-off RHC.

The other is a big, defensive, physical RHD.

Both are sought after commodities comes the TD.

Both are worth at least a 2nd rd pick and some...

The issue is, one team is likely selling, the other is likely buying...

I understand, but NJ has depth at RD, they can afford to give Kovy because they have Nemec to take his spot (their former 2nd overall pick needs to play).

And they already have a solid veteran presence at RD, with Hamilton and Pesce.

Kovacevic would be the price they pay, instead of giving a 2nd+ and instead of losing him for nothing this summer.

Furthermore, according to NJ fans, a center like Evans is something they'd need. Maybe they'd even sign him.

Never understood the idea that some fans have that their team doesn't want more picks.

Picks can be bundled and traded to get higher on the draft board. they can be traded for a player at the draft.

The issue Habs fans are facing is that we already have plenty of draft picks and an already deep prospect pool all around.

What we do lack is NHL experience and with how Hughes and Gorton has been speaking, they don’t seem to want to tank next year and want to be competitive. Trading Armia and especially Evans is counter productive to that.

You don’t get competitive by trading good depth players for picks.

Look at this. Study it. Look at it again. Study it harder.

Then ask yourself if what you are about to say make sense in term of an offer for an existing NHL player.

Logic and past trade values don’t necessarily match.

History states at best he gets a late second rounder maybe the most middling of prospects tacked on.
