Montreal Receives:
- Alexandre Texier
- Rangers 2025 2nd round pick (via COL)
St. Louis Receives:
- Kirby Dach
Colorado Receives:
- Brandon Saad (25% retained by STL)
Kirby Dach has an all-time low value right now. Some Montreal fans say they want a first for him and others say they'd take a mid-round pick. I think Texier and a 2nd is pretty fair value. Montreal could choose to hold on to him, but they risk his already low value becoming nonexistent.
St. Louis has a plethora of wingers right now but needs a fill-in at 2C until Dvorsky is ready. Dach could be the option. Moving Saad and Texier frees up 2 wing spots for younger players.
Colorado has had a ton of injuries this year and is in desperate need of consistent scoring from a winger. Colorado is already familiar with Saad and if Saad is one thing, it is consistent. STL retains so that when Colorado gets healthy, they can still fit Saad in.
Win-win-win?
