A cheap interesting acquisition could be Dadonov. MTL would need to retain half and even then I wouldn't give up more than a 4th, but I don't think there's any market for him whatsoever so I assume the habs would add to their pick collection given the chance.
Why Dadonov? He played on a very successful line with Huberdeau. He seems to turn his game on when he's interested like tearing it up after the trade deadline with Vegas last year.
In this article, Huberdeau describes him as the x factor for that line. I think he could use one of those right about now.
