I could live with that too!

They could package something else along with 16th + 17th overall to get the deal across the line. Do they have any other defencemen that Utah might want? Or would Barzal be of interest to a team like the Preds - that’s a big payment though.

Two former Flames assets that the Canadiens got for practically nothing.

Heineman traded 3 times and he is only 23. He is looking like a career throw-in .

This better raise Ras' value

I'm surprised to see this. If I were Utah, I would not be dealing the #4 for 16,17. It would have to be at the very least it would have to be the chance at an unconditional swap next year with the Isles, plus those two.

16+17+Danny Nelson

If I were Utah that's the kid I would ask to be added

in any case, tidy work by the Habs. Adding Dobson without giving up Reinbacher or Mailloux is a no-brainer, and they can afford to sit out tonight after nailing a number of picks these past few drafts (Michael Hage, Jacob Fowler and so on). Could be a pretty sick D core in a couple of years with Hutson, Dobson, Reinbacher and Mailloux.

[konradical]

Im sure if they add a good prospect some team will bite

[blankall]

Seems like a great deal for Montreal to me. Dobson already has a 70 point season under his belt and he's a big all around d-man. This year's draft is supposed to be relatively weak a the mid-first round range. This gives Montreal a crazy defence to build around.

If they can figure out a way to stop F-ing up their forward drafting, they'll really have something going.

[FlamesDraftPrognosticator]

So with Mtl trading those 2 picks must mean they weren’t high on drafting Guy Carbonneaus son. Maybe an opportunity that he’s still available at 18…..

Sillinger is a center in the age range the Flames want and 14 + 18+ 32 likely gets them another 2 legit prospects. Would rather those than throwing 3 picks to get Hagens.

[dissentowner]

I hope the Islanders move up to like 7 and then Hagens goes at 6.

Yeah. Those equivalent calculators rarely work for top 10 picks. It works better - or at least you see trade equivalents for it - with picks outside the top half of the draft. Teams still value quality over quantity.

The Mammoth want a player to help them get into the playoffs now. Those picks won't get the job done.

They need a top 4 D upgrade.. their top 6 forwards look pretty solid after the Peterka trade.

14,20 and Voronkov would be a nice package for Ras.

This is so true.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Seems quite steep for the Habs, but Dobson and Hutson together for potentially the next decade must make the fans pretty excited.
