Description

Couple things of note:
1) Kulak, Chiarot, and Lehkonen trades take place at the deadline, Drouin and Petry are offseason moves. Drouin can get less, I really don't care, I just want his spot in the lineup free for younger players.
2) Don't know too much about Dallas prospects. I think if Petry continues this level of play that he has been since MSL took over (I know it's a small sample size but still, I think there's some sustainability in the way the Habs have been playing ever since they were free from the iron grip of Dom Ducharme). Ultimately, feel free to replace the prospect coming back.
3) All players on the taxi squad are players I expect to be pushing for a roster spot within the next 2-3 years (starting 2023-2024).
4) The Habs are gonna play too well down the stretch to get Shane Wright (Still pick 2-3 overall though, they really dug themselves a hole with ol' Dommy. Cooley represents one of Wright, himself, or Savoie, I'm fine with all three of them).
5) I don't care if you think he's worth it or not Ben Chiarot is getting a first round pick in return.

And that's about it do your worst.

Chiarot, Ben
"Oh but St. Louis doesn't want him!" Yes they do. And this just represents whatever team is going to fork over Montreal's asking price, and there will be one!

Additional Details:

Plus whatever mid-round picks are required to push this through. The thought process is, the Islanders are all pretty much old and cap-strapped, with nothing in the prospect pipeline, so the quantity over quality argument could apply here. There are two top right d's in this draft, but Simon Nemec is gonna go top 5, I think Jiricek will go between 7-12, so if the Islanders pick is in that range I'd love to move up and grab him.

Petry continues to play well down the stretch, clearly indicating it was a Ducharme issue (again) reaffirms his status as a high-end top 4 defenceman

I think if MTL gets 2 1st round pick (even if it late one) they should keep it for 2 possible GOOD player.
This year draft shows NO superstar= OK Great 5 first OA... but after from 10 to 30... they have all +/- the same value this year.

In regards of your roster... GOD get some RD fast... this is terrible having Savard on the first pair... maybe you meant Serge Savard

These are all rational trades, this site just likes to hate on Montreal.

I made a Toffoli trade about a month ago that was Kylington, a 1st, 2023 3rd and 5th for Toffoli and I got ganged up on that, and then we got a better return than a waivered player 1 season removed.
Before that I asked a 1st alone from Florida for him and also got hate for it from this site.

Isles aren't as cap-strapped as you'd think - they still have about $10M in cap space this summer even after you account for an RFA raise for Noah Dobson, and they can free up more if they move Varlamov.

That being said, I think this draft has Shane Wright, and then a bunch of solid if not spectacular prospects, so the drop off in trading down from the 7-10 range might not be horrible. I think the Habs could move up with sending either one of those two extra picks (assuming they're both around 20) and, if they wanna roll the dice, an unprotected 2023 1st; otherwise, it's the Calgary & StL 1sts + something from that batch of 2nds and 3rds you've collected up there - the higher the Isles pick winds up, the higher I'd try and pull out of that batch.

No, that makes no sense. The consensus is that 2023 picks are worth more than 2022 picks, so theres no shot Montreal is sending their 2023 unprotected.
