Description

I would like Montreal to get one of the forwards who I think are in the upper tier of the draft this year (Celebrini, Eiserman, Demidov or Lindstrom) to fit in to the roster they are building.

What would Montreal have to give up to move up to #3 or #4, assuming Montreal finishes at 8th from the bottom this year and the draft order is:
1. San Jose
2. Chicago
3. Anaheim
4. Columbus
5. Ottawa
6. Minnesota
7. Buffalo
8. Montreal

I hope to get decent feedback and not just negativity, but we will see.

Buffalo is probably the best option, maybe Ottawa too. Both have tons of prospects theyre more likely to go best available player, getting more assets to move a few spots back, why not

The jackets are a rebuilding team, really doubt they would be interested in trading the pick at all. If we did trade it, it would have to include a young player that has top6 potential or is currently a top6 player. So probably would have to include Slaf, Dach, or someone like that. Depending on the player would determine what would need to be added to get a deal done. But i said we shouldnt be interested in moving it for anything short than a crazy overpay cause we are bad and should keep the top4 pick.
