What would the cost be?

Pretty high. At least high enough to ask for a player prospect that is off limits by the Habs fans. This will of course lead us down a path of Habs fans saying, "he's not even that good," and Blues fans defending him sprinkled between hilariously bad counter proposals. This will ultimately carry on for 10 plus pages resulting in personal attacks until a mod finally locks the thread.

You do realize he makes 0.5K less right?
And I'd argue Caufield is miles ahead of Kyrou defensively... That shows how bad Kyrou is
Caufield made huge improvements defensively, the last season.

Being on a line with Suzuki and Slaf, he plays a lot against tougher competition, yet he had the best +/- stats of the trio.

And the eye test is consistent with his stats.

The problem being he breaks a lot of opposing team offensive opportunities, but more often than not his lack of reach and strength prevent him from capitalizing on those plays he breaks. More often than not the opposing player manage to keep the puck.

So he's more or less like a bug fly defensively : he's good enough to annoy and gain a few seconds for his teammates to adjust defensively, but not good enough to definitively strip the puck away from opponents.

Nope.

Keep Kyrou we'll keep our stuff.
Gladly, good to have this chat. Guess we can lock this up.

Gallagher, Dvorak, Anderson Mailloux, 2024 WPG 1st 2025 Flames/Panthers 1st for Kyrou
Not even close. Take Gallagher out entirely and it’s still a very easy no. Frankly, this is an embarrassing offer.

Which is still way better than Kyrou who's totally invisible in the D zone, at least Caufield is annoying.

65pts winger who's defensively responsible, although not great at 7.8M

Or

75pts winger totally useless in the D zone at 8.25.

I chose the 65pts guy (who we all know had a bad season)

This was proposed a month ago...and here we go again.

The last one was trading Kyrou for Guhle. No from the Habs side. Also from what i gathered Kyrou is not consistent offensive driver and a defensive question mark. A huge step behind Thomas and not better then Suzuki or Dach. And he's 26, he's going to be in his 30s when we want to contend.

A really good top 6 but not exactly what we need. Particularly at the cost of our top 2, 22 year old drfenseman.

If Jordan Kyrou is too old for the Habs contention window then I have bad news about Suzuki, Caufield and Dach.

He may learn to be more effective defensively
