2nds always carry some value.
Reminds me a bit of the Duchene trade - Ottawa paid a ton to upgrade Turris to Duchene, Vegas paid a ton to upgrade Tatar to Pacioretty.
Also makes no sense since they were supposedly hesitant to move their top prospects (Glass/Suzuki) for Karlsson.

I never said it was a bad trade for Montreal, but it's frustrating to see a team in our division get better for this season.
