You might, Anaheim wouldn't.
I stated what i meant in English i "MIGHT"
I like McTavish too and i've been on the fence about this for a while as OldNYIFan can confirm
Every Zegras trade i say there's 1 ANA player i might trade that top 5 for but that would have to be the day of the draft depending on who went top 3 before i'd make that call. But it comes down to who's available as McTavish is good but im not convinced he's better then Demidov or Lindstrom long term is where i struggle with this
I mean if both are gone and its all D left or Catton or Eiserman or Iginla then sure ,i'd trade.
But if Demidov or Lindstrom is there i dont know. As good as McTavish Truly is, and he is REALLY Good.
Demidov and Lindstrom are too. Both fit MTL's needs and Hughes has expressed interests in both as well as Iginla.
I get your side of it
I wouldnt trade Suzuki for your 3rd OA
Doesnt mean much outside i like Suzuki a lot
Most people would at least consider a package built around it at the very least.
I would not , and i suspect you're the same. No shame in it and its why Core Players arent moved often untill pushed out by youth
I mean i get ANA POV as you've got Zegras to move for a good pick even if he wouldnt make me consider giving up a top 10 pick for him, i'd likely give up a top 15 as he has value. So why would ANA feel motivated to use McTavish even if your really really wanted two top 5 picks in this years draft, its counter productive like MTL moving Suzuki for a 3rd OA would be today. But if i were to even consider doing it McTavish is the only ANA pieces id be looking at is the context of my original statement essentially
