Description

I’m not naive enough to think it’s a playoff team but I thought we were going to be one of 3 teams fighting it out for Bedard. Now I think we will end up draft anywhere from about 7-15.

I can see some of these players raising their trade value come February and March.

Trades

MTL

2023 2nd round pick (CGY)

CGY

Hoffman, Mike ($2,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

If he can maintain a point every other game I think we could get a 2nd from a team like Calgary who needs to add wingers as long as we retain.

MTL

2023 4th round pick (NYI)
2023 7th round pick (NYI)

NYI

Dadonov, Evgeni ($2,500,000 retained)

Additional Details:

They’ll likely be look to make a playoff push and even though Dadonov has struggled I think a team that needs scoring will take a chance on him.

MTL

Additional Details:

JP seems to need a change of scenery. Pitlick can step in for a third of that price.

EDM

Edmundson, Joel
Pitlick, Rem
2023 4th round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

He’s exactly what they need. He’s better than Kulak so the return should be higher. We could use a RHD like Barrie.
