trade a forward to fix the defense or become the leafs.

I really hope one of the Canadian teams land Laffy. We already know at least one Canadian team will got into the Lottery, thanks to the Flames V. Jets. Ott still has a good chance, since they own 9 picks in the first 3 Rd as trade bait. Than I'm sure one or more of Habs, Leafs, Oilers or Canucks will join the Lottery.

Flip Kovy and Drouin / Romanov and Chariot as well. Could argue for an Upgrade on Lindgren as the back up maybe as well. Juulsen and Fleury will be an interesting battle if Juulsen is healthy as well.

Nah, our defense is better than the Leafs, and our offensive talent is a lot more spread out. And our top players won’t finish their ELCs for another 2-4 years.

i'd have to pick the leafs. weber and petry are only getting older.

That is arguable, but the Leafs don’t have anywhere close to the D prospects the habs have.
