Habs draft whoever is available at 5 between Leo Carlsson, Matvei Michkov and Will Smith.

Dubois trade is self-explanatory. If the Jets want more in return, the Habs have enough leverage to just be able to wait it out until next year. Jets won't be getting that much more from the Habs. There's no reason for the Habs to give up a premium asset like another first, Dach, Matheson, the 5th overall pick, Guhle, etc. when we know that Dubois will join the Habs sooner or later anyway.

Tampa almost acquired Edmundson at the deadline. They circle back on him in this scenario and get a league-minimum 4th line LW in the process.

Chicago, having won the Bedard sweepstakes, need to surround him with some wingers. Hoffman is a proven PP guy, so acquiring him at 50 % retained for a late 4th in two years is probably worth it for them. Since he has two years left, they can trade him at 50 % retained after a year (1.125M) for a higher pick than the one they traded.
