Give them at least the Montreal pick with a 2024 pick swap on it at the very least. They would probably the Montreal pick outright and take the risk you are good. It really is going to be Dubois over Tkachuk in odds by a mile.

True; I think Montreal would also consider trading their 2023 pick for Tkachuk with a top 5 protection attached to it (where if the pick is in the top 5 then Calgary gets the 2024 pick. I agree in reality Montreal would probably trade for Dubois but I think with Suzuki and Dach already there, not to mention Dvorak who isn’t terrible either I don’t see why they need more depth at centre. They didn’t trade for Dach to have him be the #3 behind Suzuki and Dubois

We already need to clear cap for Laine no room for Savvy

This is for 2023-24 not 2022-23; you’ll have plenty cap space

Not for Savvy. Goal is to improve, not take on castaways from the last place team.
