Habs should consider but they wont

probably the biggest need on mtl right now is a top pairing RD....so how is this something they should do? trying to land a RD in the draft pushing the time line for the position to be filled back another year. use the 1st to trade for a forward instead if thats the logic.

Habs shouldn't consider at all, nor give Necas that contract.

But Levshunov could be a better player than Reinbacher... It's touchy because Kloten is such a tire fire, but if you feel Reinbacher is better than Levshunov, then fine.

How many defenders do you want to stack up. What forward in this draft beyond Celebrini is gonna be a 70+ point player?

I think Reinbacher has the making of a top line dman, its always hard to say this early however hes expected to be in laval in april so if all go well he could be making his nhl debut in the fall 2025, would rather stick with that path then hope the draft shakes up in a way that go MTL way, knowing that a lot of teams are going to be looking for dman also.

I do agree they need to add another legit top 6 forward, but with all the additional picks they have in the next two years theres options out that for sure.

On the flip side if i was carolina i'm not making that trade straight up unless i have no interest in giving Necas the raise he is due.
