Not close for Kane. Gonna cost a first just to get someone to take wheeler

Montreal might be willing to give WPG a first, but it won't be their 2023 first unless FLA's is even higher.

2023 habs first pick only if its top 15 protected. we aint crazy

Lol that Montreal trade hahaha

Top5 is all that matters next year
After that 6thOA to 20th OA are average depth
Beyond that are all projects

Its a Strong Top Heavy draft next year
It doesnt have the depth this years did though despite the lack of high end skill.

It reminds me of 2003 which was at the time considered weak with Ovi and Crosby drafts coming.
In the end that 2003 draft became knows as the Deepest Draft ever
While 2004 and 2005 were both good they look like crap compared to the supposedly bad year in 2003

Same thing is happening now

If the pick is top 10 protected, Montreal says yes.
(And in that case it would probably be in Winnipeg's best interest to trade for Florida's 1st round pick unprotected)
