100% MTL will not be moving CGYs 2025 1st so long as it doesn't turn into FLAs 2025 1st (strong likelihood that it will). Once the pick turns into FLAs 2025 1st, it'll be open for business for Newhook/Dach type deals.
As for trading for Bouchard, EDM want to win now, so moving him for prospects makes little sense. Something with Matheson might be more realistic. But overall, I would still much rather move LD than RD at the moment. Habs banking on Barron, Reinbacher, and Mailloux ALL achieving their potential is a tall order (Habs also have Konyushkov at RD, but he's a VERY long-term solution). Habs have LD prospect depth up to wazoo. (Guhle, Hutson, Harris, Xhekaj, Struble, Norlinder, Engstrom, Trudeau, etc.), Habs should focus on consolidating some LD prospects and turning them into other assets. Because there's literally 0% all their LD will make the team even if they all have NHL potential.
