Thread: maybe
Why would Mtl trade Byron now?
We have no cap issues and we don't have too many contracts on the books. Is he injury-prone? Maybe. Is he paid too much to play on a 4th line? Probably. But, when healty, he's a better-than-average PK with top-shelf speed.
As of today, Habs have limited moving pieces: Hudon is playing in Europe/KHL next year; Weise is gone via UFA; Ouellet will go back to Captain duty in Laval; Folin will either walk or be signed and go to Laval; Mete/Kulak battle it out for #6-7 D; Alzner can be burried in Laval if no CBO... So we're left with a choice of Weal/Poehling/Evans as 13th forward, depending who gets the starting job on the 4th.

Sooo, that's the lineup. If Habs sign a veteran for the 4th, Evans/Poehling can go back to Laval, or they trade Weal.

If Habs want to improve on Top-6 wingers, they can trade Domi + prospect + picks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheLastOfUs</b></div><div>Yeah for sure that would be ideal lol but this isnt a bad trade for Domi. I would definitely rather use him in a trade for a top 6 but if they cant something like this would be nice.</div></div>

It's an option, yes. But so is keeping Domi! If MB is true to his ways, he won't trade Domi just for the fun of it... And taking on 3 contracts vs just one doesn't help the Habs right now. Low number of contracts + cap room was a HUGE advantage for Mtl this off-season. We all saw what happened with cap room: it's all but gone!

My guess is Habs keep Domi if they can't package him with 1-2 other assets for a bigger piece. Then, they move a low-end piece at the draft to move up. Like a Mete + 3rd for a mid-2nd or something like that...
