good deal for blues

pass on kulak for $1m more avs could keep graves who can fill a regular role.

No thanks on Kulak. Would rather keep the pick and capspace.

I think Steen would make more sense in this trade, especially if you are trading Lehkonen.

Montreal already has Danault, Domi, Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, Evans, and even Poehling, adding another C in Bozak doesn't make much sense.

Additionally, Steen has a higher cap hit and is less valuable to the Blues at this point than Bozak, so the compensation should be better (maybe MTL doesn't have to add the 2nd?).

This is obviously assuming there are no issues with either of Steen or Bozak's NTC's.

Allen would be a very good backup, even though he is overpaid.

I like that better, feeling that taking this 1st with a cap relief of 5M$ plus an overpaid backup goalie (Usefull I admit but stil overpaid) isn't worth giving a mid six, Lindgren and a 2nd.
Lower the pick and it could be fine.
