Trades

MTL

White, Colin

Additional Details:

White's a bit stuck in OTT C system with the emergence of several younger centers. Could be a solid piece for Habs.

OTT

Drouin, Jonathan
Struble, Jayden [Reserve List]
2022 3rd round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

Drouin has relatively similar cap, but MTL must compensate on the lacking term. Drouin has a solid skillset, and he could in theory flourish in a yoing team with smaller pressure for immediate success, as OTT is still in a retool.

Staal doesn't have a lot of hockey left in him.

Could still be a 4C and an injury safe option. He wasn't your worst guy in Habs team that went to finals few months ago.

I think a White/Drouin swap would be interesting.

Drouin would escape all the pressure of the Sergachev trade, and playing in MTL... White gets a change of scenery too, playing in a strong system.
