Panthers are in their contention window for the next few years. I doubt they'd part with Lundell for futures.

2nd trade seems like you are swapping extra first round picks for nothing. Why not eliminate one first round each side? Either way I'd caution anyone buying Trevor Zegras.

Panthers have no money this summer. A 4mil + offer sheet on Lundell could hurt them. I personally wouldn't trade Mailloux

If I were forced to put Trevor Zegras on the market, this is an offer for him I would accept. I think that you did a really good job here.


Because they're in different years. Montreal needs a 2024 pick, having traded away the two they have right now. And third and fifth overall in this draft plus two firsts in 2025 is likely to turn out better than three 2024 picks (the last of which is probably going to be #29, #31 or #32) and our own in 2025.

Alright, fair enough.

Why is Anaheim exchanging the 24 edm pick for the 26 Florida pick?

Why you so in the ‘cautioning’ people on Z? lol

Overpay for Zegras. I'm on the fence about 5th overall straight up for him, now you're adding multiple first round picks in value on top of 5th.... Not gonna happen.

Why complicate and overpay that much for Zegras? I think a fair trade that both sides would accept would be Zegras + the Edmonton 1st for both Habs 2024 1st's. Assuming Celebrini and Demidov go 1 & 2, this allows the Ducks to take Lindstrom at 3rd and Levshunov at 5th so they fill 2 holes in 1 draft. There is a slight overpay on Zegras but that is the cost of doing business for a young top 6 forward who fits the team salary and dynamic and already has good chemistry with CC. This is a K-I-S-S situation lol

Zegras is nowhere near worth 5th overall ++ for the habs

Because he's horrible defensively. He doesn't give a lot of effort when the Ducks don't have the puck and he is routinely on the list of overrated players when voted on by his peers.
