Thanks for your insightful responses, much appreciated.

Domi is younger and can be signed long-term, so it would be prudent asset management to bring him in. The question is whether he would be defensively conscientious enough in transition. Kadri is quite an individual player, which is why he doesn't really elevate linemates statistically, whereas Domi is quite the opposite, and that may make Domi the better fit. Kadri is better defensively though, which might make him better suited to play behind Mackinnon.

What do you think the trade would look like if we did a Kadri for Domi swap? Or would you simply want Graves or some other package?

Btw, I made an AGM about this sort of idea here: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/345663

For Domi:

The dream: Girard (not going to happen)
The capfriendly conscensus: Jost + Graves (not a fan of Jost. I dont know what isn’t right with him with all the icetime he had in COL but he's still young and could unblock)
Bergevin's trio: Compfer +Beaucage/kaut + a high pick

Agree. With the emergence of Suzuki and Domi's far superior play as a C than as a winger, he's kind of pushed himself out of MTL, which is sad since he's such a great fit here.

About the return, I don't see which team would part from a superior asset for a package. To me, its unrealistic to think that Domi+ can land an elite winger or bonnafide top pairing LD. IMO, the best return MTL can expect is a low first from a wannabe contender that doesn't already have an established 2C, BUF being the most logical trade partner even though they play in the same conference.

There’s no purpose in trading Domi at that point if all you expect to get is a low first. If Habs were rebuilding sure, but they aren’t. Bergevin won’t do it.

100% Bergevin will be using the crap ton of picks he has along with a prospect or two with Domi to improve the roster as it is. One such option imo would be to trade for Dumba in MIN. There’s always a pure 1v1 hockey trade that could happen, one such example I’ve seen on here that makes sense might be with CGY and Hanifin.

There’s a lot a room for more creative options not many of us on here can easily predict too with the flat cap next season. Many experts do expect an extremely volatile offseason.

I meant high 1st, 8-12 range.

I don't see the point of trading for Dumba, the top 2 RD slots are taken, and moving Petry at TDL would bring a lesser return than trading Domi now. I believe Hanifin is a left shot, and I thought most MTL fans have been saying for a while now that LD is set with Chiarot, Mete, Romanov and Kulak.

Again, I don't see why other GM would be interested in giving up the better player in a trade, unless that player has publicly requested a trade, which seldomly happen, or there's a cap related reason to do so, but Domi's next deal is not going to be cheap so that kind of kills it. So anyway, maybe you're right and there's something I don't get that will make such a deal happen.
