Would rather mesar than Farrell tbh. If that makes it better can struble be swapped with some other asset as jets don't have a need for lhd

It could be mesar instead of Farrell.

A value struble like a 3rd round pick , so yes you could swap for a prospect valued like a 3rd

So 1st mesar and kidney and the jets give up Dubois gawanke and Vesalainens rights work? Could also take back Hoffman to make the deal better as well

Signing NCAA players and immediately shipping them to Winnipeg is a good way to make sure NCAA players don't sign with Montreal again.

Well.. that’s only one case … I can’t see that being a problem with ncaa players .

Getting Bedard makes a Dubois trade unlikely. We have the young pre-Hughes players, the Slaf/Dach draft, and then the Bedard, RHD, Hrabal? draft. That's a very solid core of players to supplement with vets and young reinforcements for the foreseeable future.

I agree that if we get Bedard , Dubois could be a luxury , a bit like Tavares .

How's that working out for Toronto who might finally get out of the first round.

There needs to be a lot better prospects added to the first in the Dubois trade. A couple of unneeded C level prospects don't add any value.

I think Bedard would be better at wing with a big center like Dubois, but i agree a trade would be unlikely because with Bedard, i'd be 100% sure Dubois would sign with MTL as a UFA in 2024.

Like you said, if we got Bedard earlier, just draft the best RHD at 17 to fill another need. I don't mind drafting Hrabal at 37, but he won't be NHL ready before 4-5 years.
