That isn't fair for Calgary.


So, assuming this trade had to happen, how would you make it more fair for Calgary ?

Xhekaj? No he doesn't. Calgary could literally just trade for Jeannot and have someone just as good if not better at fighting, and then promote one of their many Flames LD prospects instead

You don't trade high end draft capital to address the bottom of the lineup

Montreal would likely need to add the WPG 1st, though allegedly Xhekaj is untouchable (even though he’s an enforcer 3rd pair dman)

Is there an elite player on the Habs you would consider trading the #9 overall pick for ?

Yea, but Habs fans will probably want to keep them. Caufield will definitely get there IMO, if Slafkovsky keeps developing like he is he could get there, but they probably won't be trading them.

He signed in Russia. Maybe he didn't want to play in America?

I saw that…Flames should get their pick back.

He can do a lot of what Xhekaj can do as 6D.

Flames need more high end picks/prospects. Where ever this idea came from it’s no basis to actually happening.

You are probably one of the best people to ask. How many 5th round picks turn into full time NHLers? Was definitely a waste of a pick

What are some high end picks / prospects you would want from the Habs in exchange for #9 overall ?
