Description
This team is pretty BOSS ....

The trades with Montreal and Carolina are really made it happen.... The those trades are fanatic deals for both clubs ....

Lets start off with the Habs who need centers BTW.....Of course in this trade they get (2) Anismov & Jesperi Kotkaniemi who by all accounts is who the Habs want.... Why take him at #3 when the Hawks will give you a legitimate #2-3 center for pick 8 where you could grab the guy easily ...

That trade makes perfect sense especially when you consider Bergervin and Bowman have done several trades over the last few seasons .... So I could really see a move like this making sense for both teams .... Especially if the Hawks will ensure you're getting the player you wanted all along while getting a legitimate #2 center and a winger with some upside in Duclair just because the Hawks loss is a Habs gain in this situation.

The Carolina trade - it's a little more delicate, but favors the Canes once again.... Darling or Faulk either or with 1,500,0000 retained for Saad, Forsling #27 in this draft or a First round pick in 2019 and the RFA rights to Ivan Nalimov (who I have been following BTW, this kid has some legitimate potential to be a super-star goalie if you take your time with the guy....

I know, I expect to be flamed on the trade proposals but if you sit back and actually think about teem needs and what's good for the Habs and then Canes - if you know those teams and their needs it's really not too bad (er bad at all)... lol...

In my proposed deal - we know the Habs need centers - They get Anisimov and Jesperi Kotkaniemi the best center in the draft and then some just to swap picks ...

These deals make perfect sense based on team needs ...

  3. 2018 1st round pick (CHI)
Additional Details:
w/#8 the Habs can take i Kotkaniemi,, and on top of that the Habs get Anisimov who is a legit #-2-3 center with elite talent only a veteran hockey fan could recognize.
Oh and you can have Duclair too..... really fast, epic skills but the kid cant finish ...... He's kinda like Versteeg , just not with the points..... Certainly a project but if Duclair could get it together and finish and get his game together - he would be a dynamic player, but as of right now his feet are faster than his hockey IQ... Truth is Duclair could be the "Phil Esposito" of this deal (completely different type of players bit I think Duclair has an upside where if he figures it out he could be a 70 point player ........ Yea it's a long shot bit - the potential is there .

Pass from Carolina. You’ll need a lot more to pry #2 (Svechnikov) from them.

Don't think they would give up a future 30-40 goal scorer for the next 10 years for two guys who won't be with them beyond 3 years...

So Hawks get a backup for Crawford, solid Top 4 Dman At 3M and the 2nd overall pick for an overpaid second liner, a young middle pairing defenseman and an undetermined first rounder? Carolina laughs at you and hangs up the phone.

Also that’s not enough to trade up for Montreal, you’re moving back 6 picks and only acquiring an overpaid third liner and the only decent piece is Duclair which isn’t that great either.

Easy no from Canes. Habs do that but Kotkaniemi may not be there at 8. They’d make the 3rd pick and see what happens.
