You don't get Zegras without an impact piece, and there is none offered there.

Gotta be an impact player to get an impact piece

Def not enough for Boldy. Using the picks value chart, this amounts to about 12 to 9th OA for Zegras, which might be a bit short of value, but not too far off

Yikes, why does Minni do that and get rid of a 75 point centre. Dvorak not retained....c'mon.

Minnesota declines because with Brodin signed long-term, Middleton and Merrill on the books for another year and Lambos, O'Rourke and Peart on the horizon, Guhle is a luxury whereas Boldy is the best possible RW for Kirill Kaprizov and there is no internal replacement for him.

Anaheim declines because the offer contains no impact asset like David Reinbacher or your own 2024 first. It's no accident that Barron has become the most-traded young player in Montreal ACGMs lately -- he's the most expendable despite the fact that he's a nice prospect.

“Nope” - Anaheim

Unless we land Celebrini there’s no reason to move Z. Even if we do, want not a single one of these assets for him

1. You're Right
2. You're also Right

That said being MTL's most traded player means F all on this site
Some MTL fans would sell their moms if it got them habs seats, deffinately extremists lol
Remember Xhekaj Trades endlessly ? They stopped when the GM basically said you dont trade a 107mph shot on the blueline unless its for an All Star
Suddenly no one's posting trades about Xhekaj and Harris is the new target traded more then any other habs D including Barron

MTL likes Barron
Its just that many of the fans have woken up to Adam Engstrom a full year after i started screaming in their faces about him.
Tall LD with Skating so smooth half the NHL players arent on his level if you ask Pat Bexell and other European Scouts.
Left Shot who plays RD Primarily with Great Success as a Sophomore as he currently sits in the SHL Finals battling for the title as a top pair guy with Kapla
He never stops training and already declared he'll be Training in Laval eyeing a Roster spot there but honestly he's constantly overachieving so who knows given his Versatility and speed.


They do all this to avoid the Reality that its not only Kovacevic and Savard leaving by TDL or sooner.
They do it to avoid having to admit you sell Matheson on a career high 60+ points with 2 years left at 4.85m
He's in that window in his career where for the first time he could really get MTL some real Value back while freeing up 25+ minutes a night.
Reality is this or next year Matheson has to go and then the youth have to duke it out

Wait, did you just call Boldy a center?
