No, was that a rumor or something?

Rumours are Chiarelli offered Hall and a swap of the 4th pick for the 10th pick. MB wanted Draisaitl, Klefbom and the 4th pick.

So Chiarelli was only a half wit not a complete moron at the time

Hindsite posts are so difficult to make, especially 4 years ago like this one. If Subban did eventually end up in Edmonton, who knows if Habs would’ve drafted JK by having one of the worst records in the league, maybe they would’ve kept Sergachev, patches, galchenyuk, etc...

Iv never heard that Klefbom was a part of the deal, much understanding was 4th overall and Draistle was the asking price for Subban.

Which means MTL doesnt trade Patches, still get Sergachev and would have taken a step back the next year but would be 3 steps forward by now.

The deal fell when Columbus selected Pierre-Luc Dubois which at the time was Montreal's target.
