Winnipeg isn’t trading Heinola for Petry

Avs aren't gonna trade anyone off their roster for anyone when they're trying to win now. They'll likely move prospects with how deep of a system they have

Every Tatar trade has been very unrealistic from Habs fans. This one is actually pretty good.

Yeah for that price I’d pass too.

You know what, I'm a Habs fan, and I can clearly see that Kovy was playing on adrenaline when he arrived in Montreal. He has slowed down. If I was ANY OTHER TEAM, I would NOT give up a 2nd round pick for him. BUT, that being said, it SEEMS as though we're in a seller's market, and teams that have a shot for the Cup seem to be in an "overpayment" mode, and so it SEEMS as though Kovy might fetch a 2nd rounder after all... even though I think he's not worth a 2nd rounder. To be honest, if you factor in the fact that he has such a LOW cap hit, and considering the fact that the teams aiming for the Cup are in the win-now mindset and not the rebuild-for-future mindset, ok, maybe I'd give up a 3rd rounder. Anyway, a 3rd round pick has a 15% chance of playing 100 games in the NHL. A big drop from 2nd round picks.
