Remove the picks and Arizona still probably doesn’t do it

Oh and habs decline easily

I see Brodie as odd one out, especially bc Tre let him walk a few year back... So would make sense to try and asset manage him, but who knows...

There's a freaking report that we're in on Crosby which is so ridiculous and not true, I'd bet money that doesn't happen

Nic Petan. Our good ol' friend.

Habs aren't trading Savard for less than a 1st

To be fair, the AZ pick is pretty much a late first.

The Yotes aren't giving up all that and Dumba retained for Gergor ad Liljegren, so you won't have the 2nd

We're only talking about the value of the pick here though

You need the pick to trade it and a 2nd, no matter how high it is, is still not the same value as a 1st. Proof of this is at the draft when teams trade 2 2nds to move up into the late 1st round. If an early 2nd was basically a later 1st, teams wouldn't have to package an addition 2nd or a 3rd to move up from 35th to 27th, all they would have to add would be a 6th or 7th. Basically a late 1st has twice the value of an early 2nd.
