Description

My thought process is Kane is worth two 1st at trade deadline and Lafreniere value is a little higher than Dach was.

NYR trade Lafreniere instead of two 1st, they get Kane 75% retained and Xhekaj. Kane extend on a friendly deal, 3 years under 6M.

Chicago get a 2023 potential lottery winning top 15 pick. They love top 15 picks and probably don't want Lafreniere anyway.

MTL is overpaying and taking a huge risk in trading the FLO 2023 1st, but Lafreniere could be better than Dach in MTL.

No this is not something that makes sense for Montreal the risk of Laf not working out and the pick winning the lottery far out weighs Laf maybe breaking out. Rags fans have been saying for 3 years Laf is about to break out, this seems like a Drouin type of move all over again. The definition of insanity according to Einstein is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This is insane, trade Sergachev (what we needed) for Drouin because he had potential to be a good center, now you want to trade what we need (high draft picks) for potential again. I am just going to shake my head at that.

This is way too much for Laffy. I would do Xhekaj ++ but I wouldn't add a 1st. Risk is too high at 21.

LMAO an unprotected top 10 pick in the deepest draft since 2015 and a solid D man who is leading all rookie D men in goals and has potential to be a 2nd pairing guy. Montreal isn't even offering that!!!

This is a really cool trade. I gotta give u credit on the creativity. NYR gets infinitely better. MTL gets a lottery superstar. Chicago gets a would-be lottery pick.

With all that being said, I think Chicago needs more coming back in the deal. Maybe NYR adds a 2nd? MTL adds a 3rd or 4th ?
