Description

Florida trade: Montreal gets a young player with a raw skill set and good feet. He seems like he could fall under the same category as Montreals past draft day deals. Florida gets Tkachuks junior line mate, and they were dominant together. Maybe Tkachuk can save Dvos career the way Mack saved Drouins. Barron is a former first round defender and there is upside there but has been surpassed by Reinbacher, and Mailloux. A fresh start would be good for him. They get some draft capital to go with it which is definitely an area they are thin at.

Rangers trade: The Habs get yet again another first round pick who was drafted by none other then Jeff Gorton. Gorton knows the player we’ll haven taken him at 2nd overall and has acquired players he drafted (Andersson) since coming to Montreal. New York gets a young player that was a first round pick and could push for a roster spot this year or next on an ELC, which is valuable for a cap strapped team.

What do you think Kakko is actually worth in a trade?
