If PK is being moved to Edmonton then I need Hall coming back as the center piece, not RNH.

You can draft a winger if it's not Matthews though. Hall > RNH, but consider their needs

I agree that C would be better to trade for than a left winger but Hall is more like Hall>>>>RNH IMO.  Unless Montreal is picking in the top 3 then there is a very low probability the winger they draft will come close to Hall potential.  Outside of Price and a couple of other guys Montreal is not a very good hockey team.  They could use talent everywhere and if you were to move PK, you need a guy coming back with absolute star potential.

Ahhhh I see.  I don't think that trade works though if the Oil fall to 4th or 5th post lottery.

If they do fall to 4th which is possible, I would still make the trade. Tkachuk would be a good fit for Montreal along with RNH and Nurse.  The sum of those parts help Montreal more than PK Subban.

Edmonton would probably need to sweeten the pot a little bit if they fall to 4th, but that's essentially the crux of it. Trading away PK means you're in full rebuild, might as well bite the bullet and start large. The only thing is, do they trade Price, Pac, and others?

 

I don't think it happens this year, just because Therrien is already coming back. But, if they miss again next year, PK is gone

If I'm Montreal, I still insist on Klefbom. RNH, Klefbom, 1st. And I'm still not sure I do it.

If that is a top3 pick, I most assuredly refuse to give up Klefbom. 

Although I agree if I am Montreal I would ask.

 

Really the trade is RNH, Laine/Pulujarvi, Nurse for PK Subban.  That is a hell of a hall but I could understand Montreal wanting a touch more.

I'm not trading possibly the second best defenseman in the league for a 1/2C tweener, an 18 year old winger, and a gigantic question mark of a defense prospect. Nurse was bad this year. Tons of talent, but who knows?

'Possiby' is very optimistic. PK is top 5, and maybe not even that

 

Keith

Doughty

Karlsson

Josi

Pk?

I think I could make a case for PK being right next to Doughty. Not as good defensively, but better offensively. In any event, I definitely put him above Josi and Keith. At worst he's #4.

So in no particular order:

Weber, Josi, OEL, Karlsson, Suban, Doughty, Keith... who else is on the list of top defenders? 

Are we talking best Dmen today or most valuable Dmen in terms of trades.  If it's the later I think Aaron Ekblad has to be in the discussion.

i almost listed him. most valuable defenders

I think a very under rated Dman is Alex Pietrangelo of the Blues. Does everything well and I think he was in the top 5 for Dman scoring. I take him over Karlsson because he plays some D also.
