We won’t trade the 3 2020 2nd round pick

Call Armia for Bennet a close 1 for 1 with later round picks as the offset, most 2nd round picks do not end up being NHL players, only giving up 3 2nds for a defenseman like Hanafin is robbery

Armia >> Bennett

Armia enjoyed a nice breakout season and actually has offensive upside and has a wicked shot or great hands in front of the net on the PP

Armia has had in general lower production than Bennett their entire careers up until this season and is older. He had a better year this year and probably is the better player overall, but the difference isn't much more significant than like a 4th round pick

Why would we bring in another 3rd line center habs have to many centers as is

unless theres a top line center availlable i dont see habs bringing another C .

hannifin for 3x2rd isnt that great either in this draft reported to be pretty deep and although habs have had below avg luck with 1rd picks the second and thirds they do pretty well with Romanov Ikonen Ylonen Brook Struble and Fleury in the last few drafts.
( rumor has it the first rd flops are mostly due to Bergevin having final say on first rd and then trusting his recruiters for the later rds)
