Description

Based on Hughes history as a GM in MTL to date.
I think he'll walk away with a deal a little better then this(likely another piece on each side)
But this is my Prediction on what the price tag will likely involve

I also predict Shane Wright will start in MTL next year
He's on a rebuilding Junior team and we dont want him learning losing habits
We are just as happy to avoid the Shane Doan Effect as i call it where losing culture becomes acceptable and being a pro hockey player is as good as being a Champion.

By Trade Deadline i expect Dadonov ,Byron and Wideman to be moved as Rentals along side Poehling who has until years end to push Evans out as they're playing for one job now that Wrights in the picture those endless opportunities are now ending

Trades

MTL

Bellows, Kieffer [RFA Rights]
Pánik, Richard
2022 1st round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

-13th OA pick
-Legacy Player RFA entering his Prime Years
-Capdump straightup

This would be the biggest trade Lou woulda pulled off in NYI marked as a clear win value wise. Which is largely why i think Hughes will also fleece him given he traditionally takes less while Hughes has gotten overpaid on all his trades to date.

NYI

Anderson, Josh

Additional Details:

-MTL agree's to take Panik Capdump to play DSP role in Laval this year hopefully helping them make a strong playoff push again next year or maybe he makes camp this summer for MTL and we trade him at the Deadline

NYI Gets to upgrade on what both Bellows/Panik offered for about 1.5-2m more then both woulda made playing for NYI this year.

Bellows/Panik for Anderson maybe. Pick is too much.

You are referring to deadline trades, which are naturally going to return a lot if there's a competitive market for what you have.

That is a lot for a guy to never get over 50 points in a year.

The only TDL i spoke of are the ones specifically mention as TDL
The rest are made now as indicated by no further emphasis on a future date as clearly marked above with the other Trade's i spoke of but never made as to not be forced to have this type of conversation

I only mentioned the TDL deals because if i dont the "what about the tank for Bedard " group will stone me to death hahahaha
