Ah yes I forgot about Murray, Kulikov is a good depth defender, honestly New Jersey has a lot of pieces I would be interested in if I was MB.

Butcher for a low pick (Healthy scratch at 3 something million is not worth a lot in terms of value)

I thought he was on the Covid list for a while, people seem to have soured on Butcher, was really hyped up in 2018.

Rakall. not sure on the price tag, but I would happily give away a 1st plus for him. obviously the ask will be key as their a specific players that we should hold and see what they are(Caufield, Struble, Harris, Norlander) But Im assuming one will have to be part of this, just not Caufield

I think Rakell would be a nice fit in Montreal but might cost a bit too much for Montreal, I'd happily give away a 1st plus for him as well, but MB never seems to give up firsts.

There is only one real spot. 4th line center.

All the other spots require someone good on the roster not playing for the playoffs.

I believe MB when he says he wont be busy. He kind of cornered himself this offseason. He made his big moves adding Allen, Toffoli an Edmundson. There really isn't any space to add anyone else without shedding other players first.

If we have to trade Tatar for a pick to be able to get Hall for example, i dont think the Habs are that much better.

Plus all the players Habs would be willing to trade to get upgrades arent playing well so it makes it that much harder.


I think Glendening from Detroit and maybe a UFA vet RHD like Biega is all MB will do this TDL.

I know MB put himself in a corner in the offseason, but if he found a way to offload Byron or Lekhonen or Kulak, then that would free up some space, I think Montreal needs a 4C and top 4 LD, especially with the injury to Chiarot.

From what I understand Merrill is worth about a 5th.

2 needs

1. A mobile LHD who can play 20 minutes with Weber :
Butcher or Goligosky

2. A defensive center good on faceoffs:
Glendening, Gagner, Haula or Granlund

If you can trade both guys for zero cash back, fine. But then you got to upgrade them enough that its worth it.

Trading isnt easy in a normal year, this year its even harder. Even if Kulak and Lehkonen are good players, the teams taking them generally want to shed salary themselves too.

I believe MB when he says he wont be busy. It actually makes sense based on the roster and what we've seen so far.

Glendening on the 4th line and a depth RHD vet makes sense and is realistic based on what MB can do without making a bunch of other trades.
