@MGK thoughts on this one?

Would the Habs need Edmundson from the Blues??

This is too much for someone who hasn't played a minute in the NHL.

no, Habs just signed Chiarot

yeah, maybe a 5th and Hudon

I hope Montreal stays away from Gusev. Has done nothing at the professional level and teams want to pay him like he's a top 6 forward. I would rather stay out. It's not like we need him.

I'd rather try and get Juulsen and McNiven.

And there's probably no chance he takes 3m after getting traded.

I agree about the 3M. There will be cap space for him for 2 years, so even if it's 4M, that'd be fine.
And he doesn't have a say about where he's traded I believe.

As for Juulsen and McNiven...
Juulsen, probably not. The Habs are thin on RD prospect; most likely a forward, but Bergevin won't pull the trigger for anything.
As far as McNiven... maybe throw in Lindgren, but not McNiven at the moment.

How many minutes has Ylönen in the NHL?

I'd rather move Juulsen than Ylonen personally.

A bag of pucks and the picks would be too much. I just think that he's over-hyped and won't pan out. Believe me this wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong about something but this just doesn't feel right for the Habs.
