Thread: Buffalo trades picks with Montreal
Thank you both. Great discussion. You both summed my feelings (not that I am correct, just opinion). Big risk for both teams. Buffalo makes the trade to try to get more middle 6 or second pairing defenseman and MTL makes the trade to get a top 3 forward or top 2 defenseman. Montreal looking for quality, Buffalo looking for quantity.

But I guess what I was trying to say was that with the amount of insults that you receive when you state your opinion on these board, you kind of start to expect getting an insult. So when someone is respectful, you kind of get caught by surprise and, in my case, that make me feel great!</div></div>

Thread: Buffalo trades picks with Montreal
It is a big risk for both teams. If Bergevin is hot to have a player (Byram or Cozens or other) and Betterall feels he needs more picks to restock his prospect pool I could see a deal. I was thinking MTL was closer to being good team than Buffalo and Marc may try to add a top player now while Weber and Price are still performing well. Jason may feel that he has his top defensemen (Dahlin, Montour and Ristolainen) and top line (Skinner, Eichel and Reinhart) but needs secondary scoring and can wait until the players drafted this year can develop (unlike Montreal).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CWP</b></div><div>Even if Byram or Cozens drop at 7th, this is a very bad trade for Montreal. Look at it in terms of draft statistics, there is 18% of the chance that you draft an nhl player with a second round pick and a 3rd round pick is approximately 17%. So we trade 53% to get a nhl player to upgrade 8 spots!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Now look at the odds of drafting a stud top pairing dman with those picks compared to the others. Byram is legit. Your getting the best dman in the draft. Sometimes you have to risk multiple picks to get a quality player. There is also a chance none of those picks amount to anything too.</div></div>
