MTL isn't trading caufield. they finally have a prospect who is a sniper and dominating in NCAA, they're keeping him.

Granlund isn't a 2C, more a LWer. Too much for Habs to give up for two rentals and 1.5 year of Eckholm. And really are new additions going to change the Habs fortunes ?

What the hell is this? We are not trading the farm for 1 rental... and 2 other players that in no-way help the habs compete. Trading a futur 30goal scorer for that is blasphemous

Nashville accepts

Awesome! I’m pretty sure we can figure something out that works for both teams. Nashville might prefer some of our D prospects not named Romanov also ahead of Caufield.

Fair point, I’ll put KK back at 2C. Ekholm could extend, he’s not capped at 1.5 years.

The $3.5mm in cap space this year would be a huge part of this trade. I’m pretty sure that Bergevin is going to load up to the max this year. He’s definitely acquired the draft picks that he would need in advance.

Montreal wouldn’t trade Caufield for nothing. I agree with you there.

They only accept because Caufield

« The farm » ?

No need for D prospects. Trading Ekholm will land us getting a high pick in a D heavy draft. Even then between Farrance, Davies, Allard, and Chistyakov I think we're pretty covered for future 2nd pairing D. We really lack good forward prospects.
