Description

Montreal adds another vet RD in Tanev.
They ship off pending UFA Kovacevic for 2 picks. Leafs get a big depth RD, at under league min.
Montreal get a star forward and a late 1st. Anaheim get a young RD, good forward prospect and a top 7 pick (this trade assumes Montreal doesn't win the lottery).

Harris is worth a lot more than that. They'll just keep an elite skating puck moving top4 Dman that makes 1.4M.
The Kovacevic price makes more sense.
Harris is above Kovacevic on the depth chart

Zegras isnt worth a top8 pick much less the other pieces added on. Pass.

Leafs pass. We need top 4 RD. Not more depth guys. Especially when the price is two draft picks.

Despite last night's debacle, I can't see Anaheim trading Zegras to move from #26 (roughly) to #6 (plus or minus one) plus the two prospects. But you never know.
