Sujet: Trade Up At Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></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.</div></div>

I'm pretty sure the pitchforks will be out in CGY if Iginla is available and CGY trades down.

I also think that Iginla will go 6th/7th based on his recent success, and him being from a hockey family.

Sujet: Habs should at least consider trading Guhle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></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.</div></div>

Of course it wont hurt the team.
That aint what I said.
But you have to manage your assets and not throw them away to fit square pegs in round holes. Boldy has struggled immensely in the past two post seasons and doesnt use his size.
He isn't what you think, was my point and the Habs should be looking elsewhere if they are paying a high price like a Guhle.
Marco Rossi isn't what the Habs necessarily need either but because Rossi is probably dealt at a bargain, you can manage your assets accordingly as Kent Hughes has been able to do thus far.
I would ignore the Wild, personally, but if you want to take a swing ala Newhook (whom I also didn't think was a good target) Rossi is the better option. And it's the sort of move Hughes has been able to establish so far in his tenure.
