Trade with Habs

easy no from mtl. we dont want turris's long term cap hit. we have guys coming up that need contracts. a late first is great, but not worth losing a top 5 selke worthy center over

That is a steep bill to pay for a third line centreman and a guy with poor hockey vision.

When you call one of the better all around center men in the league a 3rd line center. There's a reason he finished top 5 in Selke voting last year, and he will do the same this year.

It's an easy no from Montreal

Hard pass from Montreal. Turris not worth taking on even with the pick. Danault too valuable.

Danault is pretty much a non starter simply for the fact that he is more valuable to MTL than elsewhere. Having a QC born player whose good, plays the right way and is being molded into a Carbo/Bergeron hybrid...... that's as close as to untouchable as Habs players get just about. Value may be fine, especially if the 1st ends up being a lottery but I doubt the Habs who are trying to win now would part with their top centerman unless another top centerman was coming the other way. Turris lately is simply not that and also comes with a price tag that is simply too dangerous to take on blindly.
