That’s exactly what the caps need

Caps need a 2c and experienced starting goalie more

Yeah some brilliant Caps fan proposed a deal consisting of that.

JT Miller and demko

For

2 firsts, Eller and Vanacek 😃

Did I hear Demko is available

But in all seriousness got a feeling its gonna be Gibson

Speed is what I meant

lol dreger thinks campbell is going to get $6m. i pity the team that does that.

As I reported today, led to believe the #GoHabsGo have called every team in the top 10 because they want to make a splash with a second pick in that area.

What team in the top 10 is the most likely to deal the pick? The Flyers? The Sens?

philly, devils, sens, and wings would be my guess.

Well he ain’t gettin it from the leafs…

Devils, Philly, Sens is my opinion, I doubt Arizona or Seattle moves their pick. If CBJ moves 6, it’d be with 12 to move up imo, Detroit and Buffalo I don’t really see moving their picks

my question about the habs calling the top 10 is what kind of package would net them a top ten pick that doesnt have suzuki or caufield (and maybe romanov and/or guhle too)

I think 26 is definitely moving. Probably 33rd as well. 26 + 33rd + either Dvorak or Anderson depending on the team's need + other adds

The most likely trade is probably caufield for pick 5 or 7

That's the least likely

Josh Anderson + Jeff Petry + 26 OA would be the most likely pieces involved ( note I am not saying they’re worth it, I’m just saying those are the pieces a GM is the most likely to acquire from the Habs that make sense for us to move )

If it’s going to happen, that’s would it would cost. Pick 26 isn’t really going to do much to get in the top 10

Caufield is worth more than pick 5 and 7 in this draft. Habs likely wouldn't trade him for pick #2.

Ok so then the Habs won’t get into the top 10. It’s very simple

There are other ways to make a deal work, but Anderson and I made you hate the Habs so whatever.

yeah for sure 26 is gonna be moving, 90% chance 33 is too. maybe something like 26 + 33 + Anderson + Farrell + possibly something else to ottawa for 7 if they need a winger for the top 6 (hopefully one of anderson or farrell could become that at some point)

i will be disappointed in the habs if caufield is moved for 5 or 7, but those are probably fair enough trade-wise

anderson and petry definitely arent worth it but yeah gms will want them imo. question is which gm would be stupid enough to take that (maybe add 33 as well)

Put yourself in a GM shoes, MTL ain’t moving Suzuki or Caufield, you’d be looking at a package that would consist of a roster player ( Anderson, Petry, Dvorak, etc ) + a prospect ( Harris, Struble, Mysak, etc ) + 26 OA most likely. As I said above, not saying it’s fair value but if you look from Hughes/Gorton perspective and that of Fletcher, it’s a possibility

Not really , giving up scraps for a high pick almost never works. You’re being unrealistic.

I’ve always disliked the Habs . There’s not only one way to enjoy hockey, personally I find joy in seeing certain teams and players fail. Habs are one of them. If Anderson is traded to the isles, which is still unlikely , it would still work out for me if Anderson fails miserably and never plays a full season/misses the playoffs.

Fletcher is dumb, but not enough to trade pick 5 for a player who’s not elite. Looking at it from fletchers perspective, it makes no sense

Then it's pretty clear that you're not the right person to discuss their players' values.

Not at all. I can hate certain teams and be realistic about certain players value. I’d say it’s a lot worse to think your own team can give another team scraps for a top 5 pick
