Thread: What pick does Hutson get us
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Why would Montreal consider trading Hutson? That would be horrendously stupid, we have needed an offensive D man capable of putting up 70+ points and one not only falls into our lap but has also developed, grew and excelled at the next level and here you go wanting to replace him with another lottery ticket that could just as easily turn out to be a dud? How is that even logical?</div></div>

I ask the question because I don’t share your opinion that he’s the next big thing.

FULL DISCLAIMER: I haven’t seen him play except at the WJC this year and last. He wasn’t the dominant offensive dman I wanted to see.

I hope I’m wrong and he shatters records, but I think he’s closer on the scale to Victor Mete than he is to Fox/Makar/Hughes.

So if I go with that belief, what would his value be, and what could the return be.

I think if a top10 pick was up for grabs I would do it, depending who’s available at that point. Past 10, I think I’d take my chances on Hutson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Keep telling yourself that; I guess we disagree that Savard is a top 4D on a competitive team. He’s top 4 in Montreal because you’re not a good team bedding in a lot of promising young D prospects - big difference imo, but time will tell 🤷🏻. I’m confident predicting there is zero chance Tre makes that move</div></div>

Anyone who thinks he’s a top4 Dman on a competitive team isn’t a knowledgeable hockey person. But I'll go as far as saying having Savard on a 3rd pairing is a luxury. You have an amazing top4 if Savard is a 5/6 dman.

If he isn’t worth a 1st, he’ll be close to it. He’s an elite shot blocker, he’s elite on the PK, and he can pitch in with some offence on occasion. He’d get significant minutes in TOR’s system, and that shows how bad they are.

Thread: Mehhhh
3Cs or 60 pts Ws don’t fetch huge packages in return unless they bring another element to their game. Zegras doesn’t have a physical element, he doesn’t PK, block shots, win faceoffs etc. He’s a point producer, not an elite one, but a decent one… and he didn’t produce points this year.

I’m not saying Zegras is getting traded, but if he is, my offer of a 5-10 pick and a sweetener is in the ballpark when you look at these. And remember, Cs are worth more than wingers… and his faceoff stats say he’s better suited for W.

Possible comparables

Hertl+2x3rd rd picks (C)

2 late 1st rnd picks and 17% retained salary

Drysdale (a high 1st rd pick) &amp; 2nd rd pick

Dubois (C)

Villardi (elite prospect)
Iafollo (quality depth player)
Kupari (late first rd pick)
2nd rd pick

Don’t worry, MTL isn’t interested in giving up that much for Zegras.

Whether you like it or not, if ANH deals Zegras, it’ll be because they feel they have 2 better options at C than him.

MTL won’t be giving up that kind of package for a 3C after a down year.

The max offer that I think could happen is almost a straight up offer of our own 1st round pick (between 5-10) at the draft, and only if the right players are drafted by the time the pick comes around.

MAYBE a little sweetener like a B prospect, or a later pick.

Dach won’t be dealt in any package for Zegras. If MTL wants to acquire Zegras, it’ll be to play him WITH Dach, not INSTEAD of Dach.
