Could happen

Not enough for Danault, even as a rental

I would do lias and first but conditional top5 protected

That's a weird logic. Because Danault is in the 3rd center chair, even though he's currently Habs' best center (you could argue that Suzuki is), his trade value is the trade value of a 3C.

I'll counter you, because Kreider and Panarin have the top 2 LW spots, Lafreniere is only a 3rd LW, let's trade him for Armia and and a 2nd because that's what a 3rd LW is worth. Doesn't make sense.

Habs are trying to deal out centers because they have to many though, so it would be K'andre or someone else that they would want and I dont think Kravtsov, or Lindqvist are on the table

That’s not my logic. My logic is that I’ve seen many articles abt him and they rather get something out of him than let him go to fa next year. Koet and Suzuki will grow better than him in the coming years so that’s why they would trade him. Like I said trade is in the rangers side of things, def could use more . It not like u guys are even contenders now so it would be good if u trade Danult and let Suzuki and koet, than u also have domi under arbitration. That gives ur team time to get other assets and grow. Like I said again the trade can use a lot more but at the end of the day he will be a rental bc in the future will be a fringe 2c with the young guns u have coming up
