Montreal needs another top 6 forward that fits their young core. Zegras is one of Caufield's best friends.

Anaheim needs another solid young D that can play on the right side and eat solid defensive minutes. Guhle is a LHD but played almost half the season on the right.

Who says no? Fair?

I think something happens at the draft for Zegras.
Hard pass for Montreal. Big mistake to trade Guhle

Habs: o hell na

U win with guhles in the playoffs not with zegras
I would agree. Mainly because the Habs have quite a few forward prospects that are in the 6 feet and under range that could be scorers in the NHL. Not sure which ones could make it, but the likes of Kapenen, Kidney, Mesar, to the already Caulfield, not sure I'd send out a potential top 4 Dman who brings some size, for a scoring winger.

Cause, you typically don't keep that many smaller players on the roster, at least not more than say 4 of them.

Can we lock this up? We already had a big thread filled with Montreal fans telling us how Zegras sucks and Guhle will be a Norris candidate in a year or two.
Nahhh we are just starting.
Have you seen PLD threads ?

This has been discussed over and over again. Montreal can't afford to give up Guhle. They don't have anyone else ready to eat his minutes. I would love XZegras in Montreal but we just can't afford to lose the assets it would take to acquire him.

I think Montreal can afford to lose Guhle with Hutson, Xhekaj, Harris, Matheson, Struble, Trudeau, etc on the left side, especially if that means getting a top 6 forward that fits their core and if they can nab a Buium/Dickinson/Silayev as well.

Neither Xhekaj or Hutson is ready to play 20+ minutes a game and face top competition. Hutson was fun to watch but he still has a lot to learn, especially positioning and stick work. He's still very raw.

Struble, Harris and Trudeau are good NHLer but will most likely remain bottom pairing guys. I wouldn't be confident having one of them play in my top 4.

Buium & Silayev are years away from being capable to make that kind of impact at the NHL level and Dickinson is a righty.

Lmao

No we keeping hutson and gambling on his potential
You trade Hutson for Zegras or a guy like Perfetti or McGroarty

Yoi draft Buium or dickinson at 5, get bigger on D with similar upside, better in your top 6 and trade the 26 for more help
