Proposal: MTL - STL - COL

[CTHabsfan]

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?

What better time to trade someone when their value is at "an all-time low"? Especially when the Canadiens can pick up an unimpressive Alexandre "At least I'm French" Texier and a late 2nd-round 2025 draft pick they don't need (they already have 12 picks, including two in the 1st round and two in the 2nd).

Meh I would rather move Saad for a pick or 2, Texier isn't worth anything so not even worried about him, likely waiver wire fodder in the near future

Blues get rid of their worst player in Texier, and bring in....an even worse player in Dach? And it costs them Saad to do so?
Easy pass. I'd rather trade Saad for a 2nd or 3rd round pick and waive Texier than use Saad's equity to buy Dach.
Dach is legitimately one of the worst players in the league.

Well to be fair that's about all Saad and Texier are worth but the Habs will hang on to their bust for now. Better to have one over 2 pieces of garbage.

this tells us a lot about what you are thinking about the habs youth scouting team.

From the Avs, we'd want Dach, not Saad. Or sure, Saad, but a much lower pick.
