Thread: Blockbuster trade
The only team that should decline this deal is NYR.

MTL: Laf & Newhook take the Habs from #27 to #15 in 5v5 GF. Giving up Suzuki for a better shot at Bedard, with Laf & Newhook as consolidation prizes isn't that big of a loss (assuming each player wants to re-sign and stay in MTL). This is certainly one way to get out of Bergevin's mess.

COL: Adding Suzuki's long contract is a risk here, but it gives the team a solid option at C should Nate get hurt again. Suzuki also widly improves that 2nd PP unit. Trading Girard gives Byram an opportunity for more important minutes.

NYR: This seems to be fixing a problem that doesn't exist. Girard is a great defenceman, but relegating him to the 3rd pairing isn't helping the team, unless they put him on the left side (of which, he'd still bounce between 2nd & 3rd pairing). Giving up Chytil for a late 1st rounder doesn't seem to be worthwhile to a team that relied heavily on him in the playoffs for 5v5 scoring. Kaut is high risk/medium reward & Mysak is undersized and at least 2 years out from competing for a full time roster spot.

Fair enough. I think it's a starting point for talks at least. PHI doesn't have much in terms of NHL ready RHD to return, but they could sweeten the pot with Ronnie Attard who is coming off a great year at Western Michigan. I'm sure DET can push the 3rd back to 2023 or 2024 as well.

Provorov could definitely turn his game around if he's paired with Seider. Provorov's deal ends the year Mo's extension would kick in, and Provorov doesn't have any trade protection which would make this a great deal in the end for DET.

To address the hole left in RD, I could easily see Yzerman taking a calculated swing at Klingberg or Gudbranson in free agency.
