Description

looks like caufield is going to be one of those nightmare contracts canadian teams have to go through everytime they draft a superstar american player, so how about the habs just gets ahead of it and trade him at the draft for one of the non-american stud in the top 6.
i'd give up a lot with caufield to get bedard but i don't think you can make it happen
fantilli is a little bit more realistic but expensive
carlsson would be the closest to a 1 for 1 trade
and for benson i think the habs could get a little bit more in return

i don't think that's true, he's 21 years old and was on pace for 40+ goals on a miserable montreal team
it's not like the habs would want to trade him under normal circumstances but like i said above, amercian star player and canadian team don't go well together

what do you think about it though ? it's not like i want to trade him but considering everything i said i feel like it could be a solid move. im asking here because i haven't seen anybody bring this up and i don't get why. i feel like if you can turn a guy who you'll probably have to overpay to keep and then lose for nothing in a couple of years in free agency into one of the guys in the top 6, doesn't sound that bad.

well its not brought up because it is believed caufield will sign here longterm. i mean if somehow he didnt want to sign hsre and he just want to get to ufa asap, it could be a good deal, but nothing indactes we are in this situation.
