Description

Check the crystal ball, and predict which prospects might make up the core of the team at the end of the 2020-21 season. Throw in some extra middle first round draft picks with smart trades of veterans in 2019-20, and the Habs might even be competitive again 3-4 years from now.

Here are key transactions next few years:
Byron & Shaw - 2019 trade deadline for Anaheim 2019 1st Round Pick (#18), plus 2nd rounder in 2020
Petry - 2019 trade deadline for Coyotes 2020 first round pick (#12), and a 2nd rounder
Tatar - 2019 trade deadline to New Jersey for an extra 1st rounder in 2019 (#20)
Brodin - a package of prospects and picks to get an experienced LHD from the Wild in 2020 before he goes UFA.

Habs pick at #3, #18 and #20 in 2019 draft, taking Bowen Byram (LHD), Philip Broberg (LHD), and Yaroslav Likhachyov (RW)

Habs pick at #2 and #12 in 2020 draft, taking Quinton Byfield (C/LW) and Lucas Raymond (RW)

People like Brodin don't get traded without a 1st going back.
