Description
Would you do it

My point of view: It's overpaid by a lot, I understand, the draft is in MTL and that would create a tsunami, but take Cayden Primeau out and swap Suzuki for a different option I would think about it.

MTL passes and i think so does whomever has 1st

if you look at the history of teams who traded their top 5 picks an Established top 6 or top 4 player was always the cornerstone of the deal .
For a team to give up a #1 pick you'd need a Gallagher ,Tatar or Danault to even start conversations .

Most likely you'll have to land a top 3 pick by trading MTL 1st and a Suzuki or Petry to land a top 5 pick .
then you'll need to trade that top 5 along with a Danault , Gallagher or Tatar .

Either way i dont think Lefreniere's worth it just because he's french and #1 overall .
Sure its not as common anymore but that's because the talent isnt as deep in Quebec as it once was.
(to many Quebec native's settle outside their Province investing in other communities development at a rate unlike years past)

Impressive and nice use of cultural demographics.

Yeah but they think Lefreniere will be the most dominating Power Forward since Eric Lindros was Drafted
I Dont think as many people outside Quebec are sold on that seeing him as more of a Steven Stamkos in his style of play

Dont get me wrong that's still good but it isnt good enough to give up anything more then Danault , our 1st and a 2nd .
Thats still a high value but its within reason based on the realization that the last Canadian Junior star to jump from junior to the NHL to put up record numbers was Dale Hawerchuk putting up 180+ points his last year junior followed by 100+ points his first year in the NHL . Lefreniere is no Hawerchuk incase that's where you thought i was going with this , i was just trying to point out its almost 40 years ago since it happened last .
