not sure this would be the best trade, why don't we just play Galchenyuk higher in the line-up if that's what we get in return?... what do you think?

I dont think Kreider has the same value as Galchenyuk so id imagine you would have to add to get Galchenyuk

I personally like the trade for the Habs, a big fast power forward who drives the net has been a big need for this team for quite some time, and would fit in with Julien's style of play much better than Galchenyuk. It's not as if Kreider is a grinder either, he's good for 20 almost guaranteed and showed last season he has real 30 goal potential. We all know Galchenyuk has great skills and big potential, overall a higher offensive upside than Kreider, but it's still a mystery as to whether he will actually achieve that potential in Montreal, and whether Julien will ever trust him enough to put him in a position to do so.

Kreider is also a more effective player at 5 on 5 hockey, especially last season he was way more productive than Galchenyuk in this regard. Lots of playoff experience and good goal scoring average in the post-season for Kreider too. All of that makes up for the age difference imo. Contracts are nearly identical so that makes sense too. In this lineup I would slot him LW next to Drouin, even though Byron has been great on that line, having a bigger winger there who still brings speed and can play big minutes would be a great addition to this roster. Not sure how the Rangers have used him on the PP but seems to me he would be a good fit to go right in front of the net on our first unit.

It would not be an easy call to cut ties with Galchenyuk, but I would make this trade.

The thing I fear the most about trading Chucky is the trade becoming another Tyler Seguin to DAL, because he has the skillset and potential to do that.

That being said, Kreider is an interesting piece, still not sure I would do it though.
