I personally love coming on here and seeing nothing but armchair GM and mock drafts involving Montreal getting players because they are French... just means I can ignore and move on. (the deal itself is worth thinking about, props to LobbysOilers).

Not a chance. dream on 2 dynamic impact player for 1 NOPE

i like it

Based on their career points per game Galchenyuk is a 50 point guy if he plays the full season with a career -34 and a FOW% of 45.3, while RNH is a 55 point guy with a career -32 and a FOW% of 43.8. So the question is, does adding a C who is, statistically, not a huge improvement, merit moving down from 3rd to 10th in the draft? I think Edmonton would have to throw in some pretty big conditional picks, to offset the chance Montreal is taking that this season was an anomaly for RNH, because this trade only happens if RNH will be a top line centre statistically, but his points per game this year only put him as a good 2C.
Also RNH shot 4.4% above his career average while Galchenyuk shot 3.5% under, in otherwords RNH is likely to see a drop in goals next season and Galcheyuk will likely see an increase.

To me: clearly not. Bad trade for Mtl.
