Unless Montreal has something else lined-up this feels like an odd time to do this trade. For the Kings, this looks fine

Good move. Don’t get why the Habs felt the need to rush into this. Not like they’re in the top 15

Is there a slim chance we can pry Askarov from NSH? We’d be set with Byfield, Clarke, Askarov as the new core. Probably a dream scenario.

As you can see, 21st OA is not better than 26th OA. This is a good trade.
Palffy was a 26th OA pick BTW.

Personally I want to avoid anyone falling down the board for whatever reason, risers are the way to go IMO.
Why? Kopitar and Vilardi were fallers, for example.

Mostly sniffing around.
Check out 2011 pick 21. Stefan Noesen. Carolina RW. Line #4. Double digit G's, DD Assts., DD +. 5 playoff goals this year. Playing for peanuts. Veteran presence. Is there a downside to signing this guy?

When I say risers , I mean trending over a period of time. So where there has been clear progression over the year. Kopitar was too foreign for some and Gabe had his injury issues. For a faller they really need to be very clear as to why they are falling as it introduces more risk in my eyes.

It could be a good value signing.
There's 30 UFA forwards who scored at a 40 point pace. There's lots of value out there.

I don't follow prospects anymore typically until the draft, but Emery looks impressive, could be a good pick. Of course, the last few times I was hoping for defensemen they ended up going other ways. I remember wanting Myers so bad when Teubert was selected, and thinking Byram would drop to us and ending up with Turcotte

watch it will be for Erik Brannstrom, if so they better be getting a 3rd if we are to take him on, as it has been reported they are trying to trade him before they have to qualify him and not a big enough upgrade on left side, oh wait he might be forgot about Englund for a moment
