Proposal: Wyatt Johnston to Montreal

[logik47]

What would be the price to acquire him from Dallas? He would be the perfect fit between Laine and Demidov next season.

Is Caufield+ enough?

So to fix our 2nd line you want to break up our 1st line? Nice.

Lock this

Dallas would be foolish for moving him barring a ridiculously obvious overpay. They won’t be.

Lock this

Why? Is has potential

No

Dallas isn't even going to entertain trading Wyatt Johnston unless is a massive over payment.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Would take Hutson or Demidov. Don’t see anything else on the current Montreal roster that convinces Dallas. Not even sure Hutson does it.

Johnston is Brayden Point 2.0.

 

[Eegs]

This is silly.

 

[LT]

Absolutely zero chance Johnston moves for anything anyone would be willing to offer.

It's not even worth the time to discuss. The answer is no.

 

[Sting]

Not only is Johnston more valuable than anyone on the Habs roster, but I don't see any player that would intrigue Dallas. They have a better player in literally every spot on the roster.

Demidov would but Hutson wouldn't.... what? Lol

 

[lionsDen]

Dallas won’t trade him. The contract he just inked will be a gem soon enough

 

[Lt Dan]

A guy like Wyatt needs to be in Texas on name alone

He doesn't have legs but it doesn't stop him from logging to HF!

It would take Demidov. Habs fans aren’t going to want to do that.

I think Wyatt is a part of the core moving forward. Benn will be 36 before next season kicks off. Duchene is 34. Dadonov is 36. They need someone to reliably fill in that production as it starts to wane or moves elsewhere. Especially with Stankoven having been moved, I think it’s unlikely they move another young guy.

Demidov would but Hutson wouldn't.... what? Lol

Hutson is a fantastic young player, but we already have Heiskanen and Harley to play the same role Hutson would.

We wouldn't be able to maximize his potential, so Hutson's value to Dallas isn't the same as it is to Montreal.

Wyatt is already a part of the core.

He's headed toward becoming a high-end franchise caliber player for the next decade.

Lol of course someone has to come in with the hyperbole. Hutson is more valuable already. Suzuki vs Johnston is a toss up in terms of value; there’s a chance that Johnston has greater potential, and he’s younger, but Suzuki is better right now and is still young and has development runway left himself. Touch choice. Suzuki is certainly more valuable to MTL than Johnston would be, that much I know.

And DAL would certainly be “intrigued” at the very least if Hughes called them up and offered Demidov for Johnston. Stop being such a homer.

It would take Demidov. Habs fans aren’t going to want to do that.

Yep.

Dallas aren’t trading Johnston, period.

They would be insane not to. 0 chance Dallas makes that trade.
