After Celebrini there's a blender full of forwards, If the Habs are worried the should make a deal to move up to #3 or 4

I'd offer it for Mercer, Z, Frost or equivilant. If that fails, then BPA defenseman, develop him and see who amongst the overflow of defenseman can be traded.
This is a critical junction were we get out of rebuild next year or add a few more.

It would have to be a similarly drafted forward from previous drafts, that fit our rebuild.
Something like Leonard, Michkov, Gauthier, etc. Not saying those teams would do it....just what I'd expect.

You’d offer 5OA for Frost?? Briere would take that in a heartbeat.

Reconsider my off to a 26OA
I'm flexible that way.
Frost would be 3rd on my list unless there were others with higher future potential. A big issue is how they fit into our timeliness. Anybody past 25 is going to be in their late 20s when we are ready to contend.

I doubt those are enough.
Habs likely take a Defenseman (Buium), and see how it looks 2 years from now.

In terms of potentially « disponible » players, the only one that could make sense, value wise, is Zegras. But personally wouldn’t do it. There might be other players that we don’t know but all in all, if we trade the 5OA, I would prefer to trade down to 7OA (Ott) or 9OA (Calgary), getting their late 1st with it.
You draft Helenius or Iginla and trade Winnipeg’s 1st + Ott/Calgary late 1st in a package for a top 6 winger.

Just take the BPA. If you have defenseman on ELCs you can afford to offer cap to higher end forwards that align with the ELC expiration.
The only one who is worth it out of those is Z and mtl still probably wouldn't do it. Mercer or Frost would be a big fat NOOOOOOO

alternate to keeping d and trading pick [for F help]
LaF could be had imo but requires overpay. he is excellent 5x5, signif part of best 5x5 line in NHL, short term not crazy $$$, etc
You don't HAVE TO go LaF, but if you do,
You have to bite the bullet and pay top $
equal value doesn't cut it, and let's not be hypocrites, we usually don't do = for = value, coke for pepsi
we do trades to get ahead, profit
which brings me to
Guhle + Reinbacher ++
for
LaF + [likely including Lindgren + Jones as stopgaps]
that checks all boxes, keep yr 5OA, draft bpa, and even if Lind + Jo not included, you STILL have lots of D
[also Reinbacher not actually here for another 1.5 yrs, so in terms of immediate roster removal, that would just be Guhle].
Rs would take D help and gamble Othmann can step in
I would hope for a better forward for the 5th overall.
Mercer and Zegras need a bounce-back year and Frost has yet to show the kind of play you want for the 5th overall.
Maybe target one of the Carolina young forward (Necas, Svechnikov, Jarvis) to help with their upcoming cap crunch? Obviously, most of them would require additional assets.
Personally, I'm more of a draft BPA and make your big moves in summer 2025 when a bunch of deadwood goes away. This will also help us pinpoint our needs better with another year of watching the growth of our young guys.
There's a non-zero chance we would need to spend assets on a top4 RD or a 2nd C instead of a top6 winger. Depends on how our top prospects develop.
Montreal can’t afford to trade Guhle. Reinbacher is tempting but he’s already NHL ready and we need help on the right side now.
Why don’t you just take 5OA for Lafreniere and draft one of the top D?
Guhle > Laf
reinbacher >>>>>>>>> Jones
Lindgren is a #6 like Savard
Why the F Habs do this?

So a 22 year old top 4 dman + a 19 year old RHD recently taken at 5
For
22 year old top 6 winger
That's insanity.
Laf is not worth a top5 pick tho.
Barron + 5th
For
Laf + Schneider
Is the only deal making sense for Habs
That would be an instant yes for me, which leads me to believe it would be a no from NYR.
That's Bern. I read half the post without looking at who posted it. got to the actual proposal and immediately knew who the author was. He's delusional, always.
Counter offer
Guhle vs Laf + Perreault
You don't have to go Guhle, but if you do, you have to bite the bullet and pay to $
I think he is and likely to be a PPG player as soon as next year if he gets some PP1 time
So? Has he done it? A swer is no.
As of now he is a 0.5ppg winger in a great team.
5th OA >> Laf
What are Rangers sending our way for us to accept? Needs to be a top prospect. Not Jones, not a bottom pairing D like Lindgren, a top prospect.

I think something around
Ducks pick (post lottery 3-5)
For
Montreal pick(5-7) +
Could make sense, if levshunov is gone at 2
-Ducks trade down to get a dmen
-Montreal ensures they get 1 of Demidov/lindstrom
