The original, baby
I know that you miss Subban, but trading the entire Predators roster to Montreal isn't the right way to go about getting him back.

I'm sure MB is looking at all his options, but I don't think he's fixated on the top-6 after getting Radulov. For years, Habs' top-6 was a top-4 (Pacioretty, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Plekanec) and a revolving door for the other two. Signing Radulov makes it a top-5. And for the open spot, Habs will look internally to see who can step up (Andrighetto (can play both wings), Carr, Shaw, Reway, Lehkonen, Scherbak, and Hudon).
I think the only free agent MB is chasing is Vadim Shipachyov. Other than that, he's probably looking to make a trade to help on the LD.

Honnestly, it's just not worth it.
1- He makes WAYYY too much money. DD and Emelin would need to eb part of the deal
2- I'm not giving one of our forward prospect for a guy on the downhill. We dont need to contend now. Our core is young and Price will prob be Elite for another 8years ish (see Luongo, still Elite even tho he's 37) due to his style of play (positionnal goalie). Markov will retire sooner then later, but Sergachyev will make us forget about him quite fast IMO.
3- Nash won,t waive for a Canadian team
4- IF he were to waive for MTL, I wouldn't offer more then DD + Emelin +2nd/3rd

This.
I'm thinking MB is still looking at Fowler for that LD spot. Gives Weber a pairing.

My price from Nashville would be Arvidsson or Jarnkork, a good young almost NHL ready prospect, and a 1st or a 2nd based on how much we retain.
So match your offer up based on that.

This.
As much as I would've love to see Bergevin going after one of the second-tier top-6 in free agency, I think that's pretty much his plan...see if one of the young guys can secure the 2nd line LW spot, alternate between guys like Carr, Andrighetto, Hudon if no one establishes himself as the clear cut solution, and trade for a veteran at the deadline if it makes sense by then.
Still maintain we would've been better off with a guy like Perron though.

If MB lands Shipachyov and successfully trades for Fowler, the Summer of Marc will be a success.

We know Habs were hard after Perron, but MB was only offering one year. Bergevin explained after signing Radulov for only one year that he didn't want to commit long term yet because he doesn't want to box out the young prospects from stepping in and making room for themselves in the upcoming seasons. MB surely had the same mindset with Perron.
I wouldn't have minded Perron either. I wouldn't have minded Lucic either (he'd be long term thought). But I'm happy things went the way they did and we signed Radulov.
doesn't matter he has a M-NTC where he can list 12 teams he will accept a deal to. Montreal (and all Canadian clubs) are not on that list.
