[NHL Watcher] LeBrun sur Insider Trading dit que les Blues écouteront leurs deux derniers 1ers RDers qu’ils ont obtenus pour O’Reilly et Tarasenko et que Montréal est ouvert à écouter le 1er RDer des Panthers qu’ils ont, surtout s’ils peuvent faire un échange de hockey comme ils l’ont fait lors de l’acquisition de Kirby Dach.
LeBrun on Insider Trading says Blues will listen on their two late 1st RDers they got for O'Reilly and Tarasenko and Montreal is open to listening on the Panthers 1st RDer they have, especially if they can make a hockey trade like they did in acquiring Kirby Dach.

PLD? 👀
I mean if the Florida’s pick is below 15 I’d keep it except for a huge price, that’s a stacked draft. I think we’re at a point we can look for a young goalie tho, but there’s not a lot of them avaliable I guess
Listening to offers never hurt nobody
Besides Dubois, I can’t really think of anyone realistic and intriguing that makes sense for us
Laffy or Kakko? Newhook?
I’d love Askarov
Lafreniere would be pretty sweet
I’m not opposed to moving Floridas pick for PLD but I’d at least see who’s available with the pick.
Everyone, please stop with PLD. In no more than 2 seasons he becomes UFA and signs a friendly deal with Montreal, so there is no point trading assets for him. He wants to come back home. Be patient, we’re in a rebuild.

I said that back when Hughes talked about the rebuild and said he’d be open to adding young players.
Dach was a 2019 pick and Chicago was willing to move on after 3 years.
Who’s a 2020 pick which team would be willing to move on after 3 years?
Lafrenière is the obvious guy because he turns RFA and hasn’t lived up to his drafting rank, but I don’t think a mid-1st rounder alone does it. There’s Holtz in NJ that is always dangled around, but unless he asked to get traded I don’t see why NJ would swap him for a 17-18 yrs old as they’ve entered their resurgence.
Simply put, a deal like Dach’s don’t come around often because players that good and that young are rarely shopped around.
