Bro you literally get Fantilli, don’t trade that much for PLD

If thebhabs getbfantilli there is 0 reason to trade for pld

Especially if you didnt lose Beck to do it.

Suzuki, Beck, Fantilli and Dvorak work for me.
Dvorak will be a pending UFA we can trade by the time our next young Center is ready.
Move out Evans though while his contract vs play is still worth it because his minutes are going to get tight

Why one or the other lol ? on this scenario Anderson is still on the 2nd line. Pld played Lw in his carreer. Juraj can play RW. Fantilli played on the wing in the junior.
U can have
Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Dubois/ Fantilli - Dubois/Fantilli - Slafkovsky
Farell - Beck (eventually) - Anderson

Oh you can not sell the farm and get a UFA winger

Simple it cuts Slafkovsky nads off stunting his growth.
You can argue competition but he has it with Farrel likely turning Pro he has a high chance of making the roster at camp.
We got Mesar who will either make it at camp or be first call up from Laval .
We got Roy who due you our crowded Rightside will get his best minutes on LW unless he's playing top line with Caufield.

There's also Teasdale to Consider the guys who head to head with Suzuki in a memorial cup battle beat him for MVP and the Title out scoring him.
Injuries from that run coupled with the timing of the pandemic had some people write him off but the last 14 months in Laval he's shown Consistency and growth .
He has 20 goals in 25 games finding his role as a Dustin Brown type packing on a ton of Muscle. Before he was compared to Gallagher just like RHP but Teadale in his offtime Bulked up Big going from 180lbs to 218lbs of the biggest pain in the but pest you could hope to have and hate to play against.

Teasdale you me isnt as big as PLD but IMO he'll score more goals with MTL then PLD ever will.
If we land Fantilli we just need time and space for our youth to step up not only at the NHL for the high end picks.
But guys like RHP and Teasdale who offer things the Richard,Pitlick and Ylonen dont as they're momentium changing players with much superior shots

Back to my overall point though.
If we have Fantilli we dont need a 2nd line Center behind Suzuki longterm anymore.
If we dont need a Center then Debrincat over Dubois makes more sense if we're gonna overpay for someone French.
I mean can you imagine Slafkovsky-Fantilli-Debrincat and what he could do for those guys straight out the gate offensively.
