Quoting: Ste_Catherine_Street
A) Mtl has enough defense prospect anyways
B) I'm not calling him crap, but Mtl already have a bunch of Blevel prospects. Enough already, we need something to move the needle on offense.
C) Hutson is better, playing in a more demanding league NCAA>>OHL and Brzustewicz is just racking up assists on a high scoring team. Nothing super promising for the Habs to take more of the same of what they already have.
A) I’ve seen MTL fans say they should target more RHD, and that LHD is where they have too many guys
B) the other commenter I quoted said it was crap so that was aimed at him not you
C) yes Hutson is a better prospect, but I was using him as a comparable as he wasn’t drafted very highly either (although reading it back I think I misinterpreted, when you said those picks weren’t high my mind thought you were talking about Brzustewicz since he was a 3rd round pick and not the picks included in the trade for some reason)
But that trade is still an overpay for the Canucks. Monahan is maybe worth Aman + the 2nd but I’d rather target someone else. I wouldn’t give up Brzustewicz or a 3rd for Savard, let alone both. He’s not better than any of our 6 dmen and he’s overpaid for next season. He’s a cap dump to us
