Sujet: Trading up with Marky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanW711</b></div><div>What do you think MTL would want for their 1st? They'd be using that pick to get a winger and would be getting 2 in this trade, Kuzy is a top 6 winger right now and coronato has the potential to become one as well.</div></div>

People thought Montreal would take a center with their 2022 1st and a forward with their 2023 1st. No one knows exactly who Montreal will use that pick for.

They're obviously not going to even consider moving that pick for a rental winger with big question marks and an undersized prospect/young NHLer that hasn't done much yet and doesn't address a need for Montreal. Realistically, the only thing Calgary could offer for Montreal's 2024 1st is their own plus future(s) that would address a need for Montreal and the quality of which would be painful to give up.

Sujet: Not sure man
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JackSC87</b></div><div>My reason mostly involves similar reasons for departing with Edmunsson last year. MTL has a lot of young dmen coming up who needs time to develop, and by the time they're a competing team Savard is likely a highly depreciated asset. Of course, Savard is better than Edmunsson so he will more than likely get a better return then what I chose here but who knows for sure I just thought that a vet defensive dman might help someone like Graves get back on his game.</div></div>

Montreal values Savard more than Edmundson, especially since their LD depth was/is much greater than RD depth. Montreal was also in a position where they also needed the cap space flexibility last offseason, which they don't this offseason. Its not really worth it for Montreal just from a retention standpoint unless they REALLY like Lucius, let alone moving Savard.

Sujet: Holtz Rossi Guhle three way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Here's my question: do we know that the Habs are definitely thinking 2C with their 24 1st? I'm genuinely asking to learn the answer you guys surely know better than me.</div></div>

I'll answer. At the press conference after Montreal's season finished, Montreal's GM heavily hinted that, all things being equal, they'd go forward over defenseman (i.e. if they think the prospects are close, they'll go forward). That doesn't necessarily mean center, but they like guys who can play center.

I don't think that has anything to do with why Montreal wouldn't look at acquiring a guy like Rossi though. They have young players who can and have played center already, they just need them to get healthy (Dach) and maintain (and continue) their growth (Newhook). Rossi doesn't make sense for Montreal as a trade target.
