Habs: Jordan Kyrou
Blues: 5th overall 2024
Cap aside - how’s the value?
St-Louis needs to tear it down, not enough high end pieces in the system. Habs looking to make a newhook/dach type trade.
I'd like to give this poster props for a big trade that I, as a hab fan don't think is bad at all.
To me, Kyrou is what he is and that's a pretty damn good player.
To me, who the Habs would be looking at in terms of forwards are Demidov, Lindstrom, Iginla.
Demidov has the potential to be a game changer, something Kyrou isn't. While that potential game changing ability is there, there's obviously the possibility he fizzles out and becomes nothing close to Kyrou.
Lindstrom seems to be either a big, power forward centre, or winger projected to bring a little less points than Kyrou, but as many, possibly more goals and the type of player you want for the playoffs.
Iginla could be like Kyrou, with a big more jam to his game and a better scorer.
The possibility is there for all those players to suck major ass and be nothing, those projections are from what I've read about those players.
Their ceiling is either equal to, or higher than Kyrou's that's pretty much the only reason I say no.
If Montreal's team was a bit better and they had a game breaker and needed to add good depth, I'd do this in a heart beat assuming their current good players weren't all small players.
