I see you’ve thought about this for four seconds. Care to elaborate?
Again, each team has unique circumstances. If the Habs want to add a top line LW (which it looks like could slot into third lineup very nicely), what are the other options? I’m sure there are going to be others but are they better than Huberdeau? Have to think having a French Canadian superstar locked in is pretty appealing to the Canadiens.
Also; if I’m not mistaken the Habs have had a boat load of picks in the not too distant past and they’re still missing the playoffs regularly. Why, at this point, would they be so reluctant to trade picks to get better now?
