Trades

MTL

There were reports that if Columbus took Pulijujarvi at #3 in 2016, Edmonton would move pick #4, Draisaitl (!), Klefbom OR Nurse, to the Canadiens for P.K Subban.

EDM

Let's just say Pulijujarvi went 3rd to Columbus, and the Candiens and Oilers didthe hypothetical deal.

MTL

Draisaitl, Leon

Additional Details:

Klefbom
4th Overall

EDM

P.K Subban

MTL

Dubois, Pierre-Luc

LAK

With the 4th Overall Pick the Candiens select Pierre Luc Dubois!

MTL

Sergachev, Mikhail

TBL

Now, that the Candiens got 2 centers from the Subban deal they no longer have a need to acquire acquire Jonathan Drouin from the Lightning, which means.....Mikhail Sergachev is still a Hab!

MTL

With Dubois, the Canadiens no longer need a power forward in Anderson and instead trade Domi to Florida for Mike Matheson in 2020

FLA

Anderson, Josh

MTL

PIT

Which means the Canadiens end up trading Petry to Pittsburgh for Marino.

MTL

Marino, John

This is all in good fun but if the Flyers took the right player with every pick they messed up between 2016-2018 we would have 2-3 cups already lol

With our Dev track record.... Drai would have become another Jake Evans, PLD a Drouin...

At least now... they kinda figured out that you need to develop your young players.

Because of Hextall, the flyers version of this would probably make me depressed lol
