Quoting: Bcarlo25
1. They’re not giving a first rounder +++ for Tatar.
2. They’re not giving a first rounder +++ to Montreal.
I agree I doubt both teams trade with each other also but lets call a spade a spade here please. Miller, Cehlerik are hardly + + in a trade like this..... Zboril is a prospect project the way he's developed and the 1st is destined to be late like 28-31st.....
Tatar will get easily a better offer from someone else. Kevin Hayes got Lemieux, 1st and a 4th. E Kane got O'Regan, 1st and a 4th....... Look at what Boston paid for an over the hill Rick Nash who hadn't scored over 40 points the 3 years prior, was a pending UFA, was injury prone and was 33-34 at the time.
Tatar is producing more than both those guys were and still has another year on his contract at a very affordable 4.8M. Habs could even retain to make lower....
Habs are getting a 1st, 3rd, a decent prospect and a cap dump for Tatar right now if they trade him.... that's just using previous trade market valuations for forwards.
