And they have nobody who projects to be a good NHL second line center in the next 2-3 seasons. It would be puzzling to me not to be seriously in the market for Kadri, most teams don’t just continue to build and build without adding any vets.
They started the process of trading assets in the Dobson trade, expect them to continue that process this season.

If the Habs get back on track they might spend a bunch of futures again but I just don’t see it. Dobson is a 25 year old 8 year piece that they used extra assets they acquired from the flames in 2 separate deals plus their first.
If they are on the bubble I don’t see them stepping up and paying the price to get Kadri. Brad Treliving works in Toronto not Montreal. I can’t see them spending 3 1st in less than a year with where they are. Personally I think their legit window is likely 2-3 years out so not the best fit for Kadri in my opinion. With that said if they are comfortably in a playoff spot come the deadline it could be different for sure
