Bro what is that aves trade

They wont give up their 1st.
I've tried scenario's i thought would work.
But unless we're giving them the missing piece like with Kuemper or Lehkonen (Barron was a 1st round pick in 2020)
its a no

STL is easier to deal with they got multiple with i think 25 and 29th OA
I got them on board trading our 1st from FLA for both theirs. taking us from 15th to 25th and 29th.

Habs most likely won’t get Bedard. There’s a 91.5% chance that they don’t get him and there’s only a 8.5% chance they get him.

Tell me what were the chances Rangers get Laffy before confirming habs won't win lottery...
If it was the last team winnig every year, there would be no lottery.

Like it stipulates, gives AVS the possibility of flipping Edmudson for another pick (5th to 7th round probably);
Gives them two NHLers for their 3rd and 4th lines under 2M$ each; Again, possible to move them at TDL if need be; and picks.. while some may think their 1st pick vs what is included above is unrealistic, their pick will not be top 20th. They'll move up and it will be down the line; Habs do get an extra pick to rebuild; and move contracts out to make space for Harvey-Pinard, Belzile, Gurianov and the possible return of Gallagher (who's contract makes him untradeable)..

Again, just a what if and what would move scenario to get to that 23 player threshold and keep lots of space under cap for the eventual resignings and UFA market in a year of two...[/quote

Ave's pick is gonna prob be in the mid to late 20s, and our 2023 second rounder is probably going to be a top 40 pick. Why would we add all that just to move up probably around 10 spots in the draft (Eddy half retained prob gets a first on his own next year if he's healthy)

Bedard - Anderson with one of Farrell, Gurianov, RHP are most likely better fits. Though it will probably be Hoffman if he's still here.

Slafkovsky might need some AHL time after missing so much of this season, we'll have to see. Not producing at the NHL level isn't helping his development, but the progress of the defense and finding some line chemistry could help get him going. Just might need to go through some reps to get back up to speed with top minutes in the minors.

Further down the road I'd be looking at Roy with Bedard and Slafkovsky. Provided of course all 3 players reach their potential.
