The Classic Dvorak to Col

There's no reason Montreal would consider that.

If he's not a competent 2c on a garbage team, he won't be on the Avs. Not sure if you've watched Ambrosio, but they wont move him for a non impact player. Thanks for Lehk.

Swap Ambrosio for Beaucage and take out the 6th and it's a deal

Ambrosio is prospect Dvorak

I've seen this by a bunch of non MTL fans who didn't watch him at all last year and I'm not sure where this idea that Dvorak became some sort of cap dump all of a sudden comes from? He had a good season last year despite almost everyone on the team having down years.

No one is thinking Chychrun is a garbage player because he played on a bad Arizona team last year.... It would be no different for Dvorak in MTL this past year. A whole year under MSL and healthy would drive the price up a whole lot and I don't doubt he can do it.

Dvorak was on fire once Ducharme was let go and MSL came in. Similar to Caufield. Was almost a PPG under MSL. Dvorak had statistically one of his best seasons in the NHL despite getting injured and having half a season ruined by Ducharme. He's no superstar but man I think ppl are so used to seeing Habs fans defend Byron, Armia, etc etc nonsensically that they are attributing it to every player on the team not named Suzuki or Caufield.

Dvorak is undoubtedly the Habs #2 centre right now and not a player the Habs will just trade for the sake of trading. He's young, relatively cheap for what he does, young and is signed long term to a very digestible contract. He would be a lock for 50-60+ points in a healthy year in COL. He was on pace for 50 on a terrible Habs team last year for crying out loud.

I don't think the Habs can get a 1st and a 2nd like what they originally paid for him but a late 1st from a contender like Colorado is the ask IMO and I can see the Habs getting it from someone this year. If they were only looking for the above offer from OP, the deal would have been done already.
