5th round draft pick lmao not 5th overall

Yea, that's absolutely not happening

Here is the translated version

David Ettedgui isn’t on BPM as much as he used to be, but he is on Georges Laraque’s show. The latter asked his opinion on the price to pay to acquire certain players who could interest the Habs this summer.

One of those players was New Jersey Devils forward Alexander Holtz, and what it would take to bring him to Montreal.

The former player agent’s answer surprised the show’s hosts when he said it would only take Jayden Struble and a 5th-round pick.

5th overall for Holtz is awful for MTL

So it’s settled.

Tom Fitzgerald rejected Struble and 5th for Holtz.

It was never 5th, it was a 5th and it was never even an offer it was speculation on what the former player agent thought it would cost to acquire Holtz.

Here since you don't understand French here is the translated version

LOL

who is david ettedgui

Former player agent, who knows enough about player values to be taken pretty seriously.

I would drive Holtz to Montreal for the deal in this thread. I’d turn it down for the actual deal.

1st : It's not the 5th overall selection, it's a 5th round pick.

2nd : As a Habs fan, I don't see NJ doing that...................

Tony Marinaro on his podcast:

“There’s been a lot of talk about one guy, Alexander Holtz. And I can tell you, one team wants him badly, and I mean BADLY, because I'm sure there's a couple of teams that would take him. The Montreal Canadiens want Alex Holtz BADLY. Believe me when I tell you that. They’re not trading Nick Suzuki and they’re probably not trading Cole Caufield. I don’t know how much they’d be willing to give up, but they’re offering some players right now. I’m talking about defenceman Kaiden Guhle, defenseman David Reinbacher, forward Juraj Slafkovsky. They want Alexander Holtz BADLY, and it doesn’t mean it will be a ‘one-vs-one’ deal. They will spice it up by throwing in other players or picks, but I can tell you right now, based on what I’m hearing, that the Canadiens want Holtz BADLY.”

I'm guessing you misheard cause there is no way anybody seriously thinks that Holtz would return Slafkovsky or Guhle and even Reinbacher is a stretch.

you can mark my words when i tell you this. Tony Marinaro has no insider knowledge whatsover.

I think there is a world where habs are interested in Holtz for sure, but looking back at what Kent hughes did in the last few years, does he seems like a guy to trade ghule or reinbacher? Thats how you know Marinaro is full shi....

LMAO, this is hilarious, you are literally using the guy that said NJ wanted Anderson so badly that they were talking L. Hughes, Nemec or Holtz for him 2 years ago as your go to source on what the Habs are offering for Holtz?! ROFLMFAO!!!

This going over everyones heads is so funny

A year and a half ago, Tony Marinaro was defended at great lengths as a serious Habs insider.

The hole point of Ettedgui was that Struble has good value around the league and that this trade was his own since NJ is in no rush to trade Holtz.
