I hope MTL doesn't make that kind of trade. Klefbom is the only solid piece coming the other way. Strome I have absolutely 0% interest in, while on paper he looks like a decent 3rd liner. the fact that NYI wanted him gone and now EDM a year later, there's obviously something wrong in his game, not interested. Lucic's contract wouldn't hurt the Habs for the first 2 or 3 seasons, and I'm one of those guys who would think Lucic could turn his game around in MTL with Julien as his coach, but afterwards it would put Habs in Cap hell paying a 3rd-4th liner $6mil AAV.
Chucky is still a young 24yo top 6 winger, with huge potential. (and I'm willing to bet that EDM would give him a shot at Center, which they should. last time Chucky was playing C full time, he was a point per game player)
Mete as a 19yo is already a #4 Dman imo, who knows if he could achieve more. Moving him in a deal for Klefbom (who's still better than Mete....for now lol) seems like a lateral move from an organizational point of view.
