Description

I wonder if Habs if a team in the top 4 could work out a deal to move up to secure a specific player like Demidov or Lindstrom.

As the top 10 is pretty much a toss up for ranking from 4- to 10 - depending on teams looking to draft a Dman or a forward.

Habs are looking for that high end talent... and they have plenty of assets to leverage to get there.

SJS (if another team win the lottery), ANA, CHI and CLB fans - what would it take?

1- Celebrini is first and not getting traded

2/3/4 - Demidov/Lindstrom/Levshunov (in no order)

5/6/7/8/9/10 Eiserman/ Parekh/ Dickinson/ Catton / Iginla/ Yaremchuck/ Silayev (in no order)

Ducks would have zero interest in dropping from 3 to 6.

I guess it depends who they are targeting and how they value them.

If they think Leshunov is the second coming of Niklas Lindstrom or Scott Niedermayer... Then yeah... the 6th ovr and Barron is not going to cut it.

the only hope you would have of getting any of these picks is including players that you consider unavailable. No other way to do it. All these theams are going to want quality, not quantity. Piling on mid pieces aren't going to convince a team to trade out of the top 5.

TBF, I consider Newhook/Roy/Mailloux/Xhekaj untouchable.

IMO, habs will just accept whomever is available at their spot. KH is not in the habit of overpaying.

right and its basically impossible to move into the top 5 without overpaying. If your 12 most valuable players are unavailable, then there is no deal to be made.
