mtl canadiens 2018

I think Pacioretty takes back more than a mid to late first round pick, and although Lehkonen is young and may have some promise, he's still unproven, not sure he would get a second round pick.
The Johnson trade isn't too bad, just would have to make sure that Montreal isn't in the M-NTC for Callahan. May have to throw in Byron or Hudon instead of the second rounder.

Remember whoever signs Tavares will likely to have to dump some salary so good plyers might be available... If Tor or bos or TB get JT

MTL needs to address their centre position - everyone knows this. I don't mind the move, but can Tyler Johnson stack up against the best centres in the league as your no. 1? A lot of ArmChair GM moves for MTL over the past few weeks were trying to get either JT or O'Reilly. JT isn't happening anymore, and Buffalo trading O'Reilly within the division isn't that likely either. I think it will take Bergevin some patience to finally get the centre they need. All things being equal, MTL will likely be a wildcard team this year which is fine and accurate given their roster.
