Jan Mysak and Jesse Ylonen?

some prospects that make sense:

Mysak, Ylonen, Harvey-Pinard, Norlinder, Rem Pitlick (not a prospect but a good depth player on cheap deal), 2nd round pick, Struble,

2 seperate deals. Habs may like but don't really need Kravstov. They need a RHD and Lundkvist seems like a good fit.

Kidney for Lundkvist.
Pitlick & Struble for Kravstov

Two guys drafted by Gorton vs two guys drafted by Bergevin
Would make sense but I don’t see why MTL would want Kravstov, like Ylönen he would be stock being Gallagher and Armia contract

1st step: What does NYR need the most?
- 2 Top 9 RW
- Playoffs performers
- Muscles (not a need per se but more like the GM style of players)
- Nice to have: A 4th line center or a backup goalie upgrade
- Worst case scenario: Futures of similar worth

2nd step: What are NYR deal breakers?
- Adding caphit.
- Long term contracts exeeding league minimum by far. Too many RFAs will need raises in 2023.

3rd step: what can MTL offer that fit NYR needs?
-Retained Dadonov
-Retained Armia
-Evans, Allen
- Many picks including low 1st/high 2nds
- Mysak, Ylonen

4th step: What are the asked pieces value?

Kratsov: Top ten pick. Didn't performed as expected in America but in Europe. Major risk he would quit again if unsatisfied. Appears willing to play for NYR. Fills a NYR need. MTL doesn't need a RW or RW prospect. 

Worth a low 1st round pick/ high 2nd for MTL. Worth a middle 6 RW and a high pick for NYR.

Lundkvist: End of first round pick with high potential. Close to NHL ready. Asked for a trade. Fills a MTL need.

Worth a high 1st pick + for MTL. Worth a top 6 RW + for NYR.

5th step: Matching values.
Kratsov: 
- FLO 2023 1st
- 50% retained Dadonov 
- A contract dumped 
- Ylonen 

I can't see MTL going higher on a player who plays a position already fulfilled and might flee again. Neither can't I see NYR not getting a better return. Just a stretched match. Both teams reject.

Lundkvist:
- MTL 2023 2nd + low pick
- 50% retained Armia
- A contract dumped 
- Evans

I don't care about the lack of respect for Armia. He's a playoff beast and would fit perfectly in NYR system, philosophy and cap structure. Haters can go back to read what they said about Lehkonen and shut it. At 1.8M for 3 years, it has plenty of value. Hagel got 2 low 1st after all. The 5.4M saved by MTL also add value for them. Evans makes up for MTL inhability to offer a high ranked 1st because they wont touch their own. IMO this could be a match.

Yeah, I had too much time on my hands...stuck at the airport...
