How to move in draft and summer

This does nothing good for the Habs except bring in Luneau, which Anaheim likely passes on anyways

Signing Marchy would be a disaster and thinking this team would compete is another disaster. Just accept the tank for another year and then start being mad about still rebuilding in 2026

Isles have Mayfield, Dobson and Pulock on the right side. We have no need for Barron rn

The Ducks are extremely high on Luneau so you'd have to offer up a lot better than that to pry that kid out of Anaheim. They traded Drysdale in part because they have Luneau.

I would trade Groulx for Kovacevic because it's unlikely that either Luneau or Warren is ready next season. Then you get to keep the picks. Exchanging Luneau for Kovacevic makes no sense for Anaheim, who need additional quality and depth on the right.

99.999% of the teams indicate this as having a depth chart. Mayfield was out LITR, so adding a new younger player with offensive awareness while being groomed to up his defensive side by someone like Roy would be a + for the Isles. Bortuzzo is 35, and play 20 games a year.

Anyone who knows Roy will understand he's a coach who likes building players up starting with something positive. Barron has shown great skills in terms of offense for a Dman, his defensive skills are to be tweaked, but Roy is the type of coach who could hammer it into him. Habs do have more than needed, and would most likely trade well with the Isles. For a 2nd draft pick while he was a late first isn't much to give for a player with his potential. Most Dmen develop around 26yrs old, he's young and has size which is a plus when thinking like Roy.
