<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ISDriver</b></div><div>Is that the only thing you don't like about the trade? What are you thought of this breakdown?
C - Kempe and 20th not = or &gt; (3rd) LW - Zadina?
LD/RD - Martinez + C - Thompson &gt; C - Froese + 4th Rounder?</div></div>

To be honest, 20-45 in this draft looks all over the place. So potentially, a player Montreal likes at 20, could be available to them at 35, or 38. If not, they get someone in that same skill level. So its a massive trade down and can Kempe really be a top line center?

Don't know enough about Martinez or Thompson, but Froese is "meh" and a 4th rounder is nothing special. But I wouldn't trade quality for quantity of this little extra value over Froese and a 4th is meant to bridge up to 3 overall. I just don't see how this fits with what I think Montreal is doing.
