Quoting: Hammerwise
Yeah, Byron doesn't carry tons of value, Mete is nice, but its really just Mete and a 1st for a number 1 dman, which isn't enough. I would expect at least MTL 2nd added, but ideally Yotes would ask for Armia or Drouin instead of Byron
I could see a number of mini negotiations taking place around this deal.
1st would be roster player - Drouin is probably at the top, but I think discussions around Byron, Mete, Kulak, maybe even Danault. I don't think the Habs would have interest in moving Danault but I wouldn't be shocked if it was at minimum discussed.
From OP's deal, Hillis as the prospect does not get it done. I think a realistic target is Poehling. 1st round petigree, not looking like he's really going to move up Montreals depth chart, and is the typical change of scenery 1st round pick we see included in these trades. I think Caulfield gets talked about, and while I doubt Montreal really wants to, depending on the other pieces I think he could be had to make this deal work. Ylonen and all the RD prospects probably also get talked about.
Draft Picks - 1st rounder? Sure. But if we give up Drouin or Caufield I don't see it. 2x 2nds? Sure. Just comes down to what pieces are in the first half of the trade.
Alzner - 2 years left with 6.5 million owning total. I wonder if Arizona insisted on Caufield per say, if the Habs would push to have Alzner included. Just my own ramblings here.
Trades I could see:
Drouin
Poehling
2x 2020 2nds
Bryon/Mete/Kulak
Poehling
2020 1st
