Sujet: Trade Up At Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_need_Scoring</b></div><div>i dont see why Calgary moves that pick, unless its to move up. They had a lot of player movement over the past two seasons i think they're in a bit of a reset now, also if Iginla is still there have to assume they will be holding on to their pick.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bast</b></div><div>Calgary has good depth in terms of young players. What the Flames don't have is top end talent, and the best place to get it is at the top of the draft.

Though unlikely, the most I can see the Flames moving down is 3-4 spots at a time if their scouting staff doesn't see much of a difference between the top 4-5 players available.

Notable players taken 9th overall since 2003: Zegras, Sergachev, Meier, Ehlers, Horvat, Trouba, D. Hamilton, M. Granlund, Bailey, Couture, Phaneuf.

Players taken 27th at the same time: Frost, Namestnikov, J. Carlson, B. Smith, J. Schultz.

You tell me what it would take to trade down.</div></div>

Iginla is why I targeted the CGY pick. We could take Iginla with our pick but there's no way he gets past CGY if he's still there at 9. We already get a 1st from CGY to use sometime in the next couple years so I was looking at the WPG pick + the '25 CGY/FLA pick + some younger prospect talent. Maybe even a secondary move where we acquire/trade up for a better pick than the WPG pick and flip to CGY for 9OA leaving us with the potential of drafting Lindstrom &amp; Iginla this year.

I know it's unlikely and would be a high cost to make such a move but MTL has some quality options (like those listed above) who will likely make an NHL impact at some point in their careers. 20 spots is a huge jump which is why I was crowdsourcing for input. KH loves creative trades to get the pieces he wants so if it takes another trade up scenario to get a 1st closer to what CGY would want that would be reasonable. Was looking at the VGK &amp; MIN cap crunches for next year and trying to figure out if there were potential to include them somehow but wanted to start here for info.

Sujet: Habs should at least consider trading Guhle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>Boldy is exactly the type of player you don't want in the playoffs. He's not what you think he is by looking at his size, he plays on the outside and simply likes to dangle. The type of player to get you to the playoffs and not through the playoffs.
Whereas Guhle is the polar opposite.

Not interested.



Yes trading Guhle would be a massive blunder ala Dubas but also trading for MB isnt the answer at all. Just look at Joel Armia. He is a more talented Armia. People here also liked the idea of trading for size in PLD but many including me were against it because of character issues. How did that work out? Its more than just size and its more than just metrics. Hockey is a complicated game.</div></div>

I mean could teach him to use his size? The size and skill is there, finish rounding out his game with physicality and he's a powerhouse. I can't see how adding Boldy to the top 6 would hurt the team. I mean I'm not on board with moving Guhle but finding a way to add a player like Boldy without moving any of what should be our core pieces I just don't see how it's a bad thing.
