Of course, there are a few players who would be untouchable in a deal like this. Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Ivan Demidov, Juraj Slafkovsky, Kaiden Guhle, Lane Hutson and now Noah Dobson come to mind.
And we also know that Kyrou wouldn’t be part of a deal.
On the other hand, Mike Matheson’s name has been circulating lately in some rumours of a potential trade for a second center, as he would be a very nice piece.
We could also add names like Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook as potential trade chips, as well as B/B+ prospects (Owen Beck, Oliver Kapanen, Adam Engstrom, etc.).
So, to say that the Habs may not have the necessary pieces to dance with the Blues is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion, but it certainly won’t be easy.
At least the Habs can be pleased to have acquired the services of young Québécois Zachary Bolduc from the Blues, in return for Logan Mailloux.
It’s fair to say that Bolduc is a (very) good consolation prize.
In Overtime
– A deal involving Rasmus Andersson and Bowen Byram would make sense.
