Interesting stuff form Friedman this morning on the new Pod realted to Demidov
- Habs didn't know if Demidov would fall to them
- The keys were CBJ taking Lindstrom and Anaheim taking Senneke (Friedman speculates that if Anaheim took Demidov instead, Montreal may have taken Senneke)
- Chicago offered their unprotected 2025 1st to Montreal, in theory to get Demidov (they should have taken him at 2).
- Montreal was also in talks with Anaheim to acquire Zegras for a young dman and 1st (not the high 1st but the one they eventually used to take Hague)
- When Demidov fell to them, they backed out of the deal because they saw Zegras and Demidov being somewhat redundant to each other.
Love hearing this stuff.
