Stop trading Kreider to MTL. Stop getting 2020 1st round pick when the draft is in Mtl. Mtl have Drouin Tatar Lehkonen Byron Cousins for LW, dont need another one.

Yeah seriously!! Draft is in Montreal and that is more important than getting good players!!!

How about this option: Habs trade their first for whomever. Then they trade another player they have and /or a couple picks for a new 1st? Because that is also an option, right?...

Why are people so obsessed with the draft in Montreal? They can do other things to bring excitement to the draft other than drafting a player with their 1st rounder.......I mean its kind of stupid that they HAVE to keep their pick just for that reason alone...

Rutherford: We'll trade you Sidney Crosby for a 1st?
Bergevin: No sorry, the draft is in Montreal and that is more important than Crosby......

This ideology is short sighted and silly.

Dont be stupid. If we trade 2020 1st, its gonna be for a good player, exemple Laine, etc. Not a good player, certainly not Kreider who injuried Price in the past

try this

Krieder
Beleskey
2nd 2022 Conditional : if Krieder re-signs with MTL this pick is retained by NYR)

for

1st in 2021
3rd in 2020 Conditional : if MTL makes it to the 2nd round with Kreider playing 50% or more then this pick becomes a 2nd in 2020


NYR dump cap while paying next to nothing to do so as its like if MTL acquires Krieder we will re-sign him
MTL gives up a 1st and most likely a 2nd if Krieder helps us get out of the 1st round of the playoffs .

Beleskey is a big hit but he's a solid AHL Call up who had his career best years playing as Claude Juliens 4th line hitter and given how physical last years playoffs were its a good insurance policy even if the cap hits high (might as well use the Cap as if we get Kreider that will be our last move for the year)

Krieder in MTL under Coach Julien makes sense to me .
he'll create the perfect partner for Max Domi on Wing and a solid duo to help Kotkanemi or Poehling grow as Forwards .

That was the silliest comment from you in a while. Congrats!

I'm not saying it has to be for Kreider. I'm saying, who cares if the draft is in Montreal. Trade the pick if a good player is available. BTW a 1st doesn;t get you Laine so IDK what your getting at. Any Laine deal will be a 1st, Suzuki and another good piece.

better to have him with us , then against us as far as the Price point .

i like the idea of Domi-Poehling-Kreider
they'd be so Aggressive on the puck

this deal is a bit off but with some tweaks could work for MTL giving us 3 solid offensive lines
but not for the 2020 1st
2021 or 2022 , sure
but not 2020

Omg, I thought you’ll get it. If we trade the 2020 1st, it will be in a package to get a good player. Second, Im sayin I doubt we trade our 1st for a left winger straight up

Kreider is a good player but that's besides the point. You said we can't trade the 1st because the draft is in Montreal.... I quote " Stop getting 2020 1st round pick when the draft is in Mtl.".

My point is it doesn't matter if the draft is in Montreal. I will trade that 1st without even thinking about it, if it is for a good player. If you don't like Kreider, fine but once again that is besides the point.

Alright, would you trade our 2020 1st round pick for 1 year of Kreider. My guess is no, you know your hockey. But you need to read between the lines, MTL won’t trade a 1st for a rental. Dont play with the words... but you are right, ( if we play with the words ) I dont care trading our 1st for a good young player

Kreider could be resigned you know.......... But I digress, Kreider isn't the player the Habs need right now.
