Proposal: VAN / MTL
- Thread starter BannedFromCDC
- Start date
Hab's aren't trading their first next year and they'll continue to be patient with Slafkovsky , so I'm guessing that's a no from GMKH .

I don’t think Slafkovsky and a top-5 pick are pieces MTL is interested in moving in a single deal - or at all.
A deal around Pettersson and the 2025 pick might be interesting, but Slafkovsky isn’t going to be added to that. I haven’t seen much of Pettersson in the last year or two but things haven’t sounded great and that contract needs a lot of things to go right for it to be a positive.
Not necessarily in this deal, but VAN would be smart to target Matheson this year.

Montreal is better off staying the course on the rebuild. Pettersson is undeniably talented but he's also pouty, disappears fir long stretches, has serious stability issues when it comes to his skating (Bambi on ice). He also has the 5th highest aav in the league. He's not worth his contract and if he was the Canucks would never consider trading him. Oh. He's also terrible with the media abd fsn interactions. Montreal would eviscerate him

Why would Vancouver sell off a key piece for futures ? (Slafkovsky is still developping, after all)
If it were Slaf and the lesser of the Habs 1st rounders in 2025, and since Pettersson extended, I could see Montreal doing this, though.
