and no Sam Bennett please, no thanks.
Why would Montreal want to give up their 1st round pick in what is said to be one of the best drafts in nhl history 2019 for Hjalmarsson who is essentially another Alzner.Obvious trades to do : Plekanec for pick(s) + Depth (Schlemko, Benn, Morrow) for whatever picks you can get

Its funny because they wanted a blue chip prospect +1st for a rental in Shattenkirk. They can add an elite scorer without giving up anyone from their roster. They also have Kyrou as a future top 6 center.Don’t tell that to Blues fans. They think he’s a franchise centre.
Ya no to any of those..Obvious trades to do : Plekanec for pick(s) + Depth (Schlemko, Benn, Morrow) for whatever picks you can get

That looks like an amazing deal for Montreal. Strome looks solid in the AHL and was a former #3 overall in 2015. Domi already has 193 NHL games under his belt as a 22 year old. I think he might have been rushed into the NHL but he has great upside as the former 12th overall from 2013. The 2019 1st could easily be a top 3 overall next year as well. Two young center prospects on cost controlled entry level contracts plus an amazing pick just sounds like way too much for the Coyotes to give unless they think Strome and Domi are busting. I'm no professional scout but this sure looks good to me as a Habs fan
Makes 0 sense for arizona.
Also Patch isnt worth that much. Strome still has a ton of value.
Arizona has a huge need for a scoring winger right now. Especially one of Pacioretty's pedigree. In the midst of a slump year, he'd still be their leading goal scorer. I think as long as they can negotiate a new contract before confirming a deal, that Pacioretty absolutely has Strome level value.
It could easily be a top 5 pick.
Way I see it :
Habs
Hjalmarsson is better than Alzner
Get rid of Alzner's contract
*you probably forgot* but we get Yotes 2nd round pick (which will be early 2nd round).
Basically we drop a few spots (we're used to draft 20+) to get the better player & remove an overpaid contract on salary & terms
The way it looks right now the Habs 2019 1st could easily be a top 10 and not a 20+
Not sure if serious...20 year old is a bust? 22 year old is "busting"?Strome- bust
Domi - busting
1st - won’t play for at best two years.
No thanks.
Lafreniere is also incredible.Jack Hughes is supposed to be comparable to McDavid. His skating and hands are apparently all pro. This team HAS to tank next year, it would be the smartest thing they could do. He would change the franchise.

Anyone else think a deal around Max Domi for an extended Pacioretty this summer makes a lot of sense all around?
Max Domi
Dylan Strome

Max Pacioretty (extended)
Charlie Lindgren
Lafreniere is also incredible.
At this point, Bennett should be a throw in from the Flames, but Jankowski has substantially more value currently.
Bennett is skilled though, and might just be slow to reach his potential, which is quite high IMO.

I know this is hockey future board but man the prospect hugging here is just out of control
At this point if the price is low , Id probably be willing trade for a few reclamation project centers. Guys like Bennett in Calgary and Reinhart in Buffalo
Gotta reiterate though : If the price is cheap. Wouldn't be interested if they are the centerpiece(s) of a Patches deal for exemple. But for a low pick and/or one of our struggling prospect ? Sure. We don,t have much too lose at this point and who knows...a change of scenery and not playing behind guys Monahan/Eichel/ROR/Backlund may help and one of them may end up as becoming a legitimate top 6 C
