Is the pick too much or not enough?

Respectfully heck no he was the worst player that ever played for the jackets

Mtl listen for sure if that trade is on table.
WHY?

1 Because Nyquist is UFA after the year.
2 2th pick
3 a rookie

For sure this trade grow the cap, but is early before the season and Hughes have time to fix it EASYLY.

Fact : Savard 3 year contrat and Nyquist 1 year.

Both club says YES.

Pretty sure the Jackets would prefer the cap freedom that comes with Nyquist after this year over a declining Savard. They also have too many young RD coming up to commit $7.5mil to Gudbransson and Savard over the next 3 season.

Yeah and leaving Only Edmunson and Matheson with experience in NHL to play for MTL. Wideman have more experience then other young D-men but still not a Regular 82 match defensemen. Summer is still early to have some free agent who could be sign for low money and have some experience like Stralman but still that a bit to much for me. Even if we 're in rebuilding mode, there still need of experience player who could help young men growth well into the game.

If that was to happen, Kent Hughes would be a genius once again.
