AlI would keep the KK selection he has been our top scorer so far in his 2 playoff appearances. 7 Goals in 17 games, not a bust IMO.

i don't think he's a bust, I would just rather have Tkachuk imo, also if they get Draisaitl, they won't draft Kotkaniemi

Actually, they likely keep Patches and still select KK cause they still wouldn't have center depth behind Driasiatl. Remember the Patches trade came after the KK selection.

The rumored Subban to EDM trade has been talked about ad nauseum but the closest to the speculated offer that was on the table that was even "considered", was Hall+4th for Subban+9th. The only reason that didn't go through was because CLB took Dubois which was the player MB wanted with the 4th pick.

Every insider who had some info to divulge about the talks say that Chia turned down any Drai deal MB asked about. The only names that were seriously talked about that had some credibility were Hall, Klefbom and Nurse.

BLows my mind there are Habs fans that legitimately think theyre better off with Kotkaniemi than Tkachuk
