Damn I think the Leafs would have done this trade for 23. Would be basically exactly what they would be looking for. Good trade LA

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I have no idea what is Kent Hugues cooking
I know he can cook because he cooked the oilers for the Nurse contract

 

[Seb]

Moving up is the way to go!!! Let's go Kent!!!

 

[Dog]

Dang that's a good deal and spicy meatball!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good deal for Habs

 

[Les Habitants]

Please draft Hage

 

[NoelVilla]

Montreal don't really need more picks. Something is up.

 

[TheDoldrums]

5 spots in the 20s cost a 2nd rounder and a later pick wtf

think the Kings did amazing here

I don't really get this one. Seems to me that 21 and 26 would have similar odds of yielding an NHLer

 

[TheYardMachine]

Yay very happy with that! Would like they try to trade up even more to get into the teens

 

[SpezDispenser]

Kings did incredible here. Just incredible.

good news, they have less picks now

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Please draft Hage

I’m sorry Hage won’t be available at #21st overall.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Maybe all the GMs have told each who they're picking LOL

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Value seems fair, but I don't understand doing these trades this far ahead of the pick. I would think you want to know for sure one of your guys is there before pulling the trigger.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Like it for Montreal. They don't need the extra picks and given the way the draft is being viewed, there's a better chance a guy they'd want is there at 21 than 26. Montreal already has two early/mid 3rds, a late 2nd doesn't mean much.

 

[ViD]

26 to 21? Is it really worth it ?

 

[Zman5778]

Really nice deal for the Kings.

Apparently trading back before the draft nets good value???

 

[NoelVilla]

good news, they have less picks now

Sorry! I will be quiet fróm now on.

 

[StreetHawk]

Draft list vary wildly once you approach pick 20 between clubs.

Kind of surprised at this early move. I get it for the teams higher up in the order, but there are always players teams have in the late teens that others have in the 30's and 40's and vice versa.

A rebuilding team doesn't need more picks?

 

[habsterr]

Seems like a lot to give up

 

[Team_Spirit]

The team moving up always win
