Considering KKs potential, I wouldnt do that trade. KK could become a Dubois in the next two years, so why should we give all those assets. Plus that COL trade is simply horrible for MTL

Because you have to be contender next year after that youll have so many ufa and you wont be using your great assets as Price and weber when they are here and could play big hockey considering they will decline in a few years. Surely KK will be good but i doubt he will be the first line center as expected. Also you bring dubois a Quebec guy who's really good and havent reach is full potential. Being around of leader and though guy like Weber, Gallagher, Kovy, Thompson and Danault, he would learn from them and could be the First Center that we expected. Its just ideas but i think columbus would accept this trade especially that these players could be great in nhl in the next few years and this will help their rebuild. For Col, the domi's value is pretty low and he'll probably ask too much as rfa for his talent, so you'll have to pay to give him. A trade for graves with colorado is fair because they have good prospect pushing in defense and Have Graves and Zadorov to resign as RFA. Since their window is close from now and the 2-3 years from now they get a good forward and prospects and MTL patch their first pair left side. But yeah its risky but something as ti happen this summer. We're like between two phase Vets are getting older so either trade them to make a full (great) rebuild or make some trades that who affect your core but will help them to win a cup.
