There are plenty of FAs ANA can overpay on a 2 year deal to play the role without having to sacrifice any assets. You don’t trade a 1st round pick while rebuilding for a UFA vet who will be off your books well before your window actually opens just to pair with and mentor your youth

In general, ANA and MTL make terrible trade partners. We have surpluses in similar spots (LD) and are also at similar points in our rebuilds</div></div>

As i explained, you don't spend anything you're basically switching a 1st for next year

From the sound fo things one of us misunderstood you're GM</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div><strong>TLDR on Barron: Ducks aren’t interested</strong>
Ducks need a defensive minded veteran RHD like Gudas to pair with their LHD rookies Minty and Zell as they develop. Luneau would be the rookie RD to pair with Fowler, and he’d be in front of Barron in our pipeline as well. Verbeek already said he’ll be with the Ducks next year.

<strong>TLDR on swapping early firsts for a late 1st: This feels plausible</strong>
Depending on who ANA covets, this seems possible. That said, I personally think it’d be more interesting if ANA has a path to package the 2 late firsts they’d have into something in the 11-16 range. If there’s a path to get a Yakemchuk, Helenius, MBN, all the more likely

Side note: many thanks for being the rare MTL fan proposing an ANA trade that doesn’t include the ridiculously repetitive Zegras trade every ANA fan has poo pood 🙏</div></div>

I think as a MTL fan i look at savard and i see a very likely late 1st at the TDL , he's also the perfect partner to rookie hutson but I'm willing to part ways with him at the draft of it means the plan happening, will savard be interesting as a top 4 RHD to you ? He could be the partner you want for your rookie and be traded for a late 1st at the deadline so basically you're trading the EDM in 2024 for a late 1st in 2025 and getting a few month of top notch veteran mentor service for your trouble

Thread: Im horrible at this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I think it’s probably hard to get both Zegras and 3rd overall in same trade without giving up a top young asset. The Winnipeg 1st may enough for the jump from #5 to #3…but the rest won’t return Zegras.

I would try building something around:

MTL gives: #5 overall
ANA gives: Zegras, #24 overall, #59 overall

<a href="https://puckpedia.com/pickvalue" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Puckpedia calculator</a> suggests that would put Zegras implied value similar to a #11 or #12 overall pick.</div></div>

I dont think that will do something for montreal unless like the dach trade it's 2 trades at once where they somehow trade the 27th and 24th plus a prospect for a top 12 pick
