Nolan Foote's RFA rights

for

Kovacevic


Foote is going to be an NHL player, He just isn't going to hit the heights that people thought he was, Habs get a young 4th/3rd LW that will probably sign a league minimum contract. Montreal's LW depth isn't that great so I thought he would be a fit for them.

Devils get 3rd pairing D to replace smith for a year on a very cheap contract.

He definitely has the hockey IQ, Is a good forechecker along the board and has an above average shot. His biggest downside is that he is an average skater, If I had to compare him I would say Anderson with a better shot but way slower skater.

I prefer to keep Kovacevic.

Probably still not enough, Guenther's value is likely closer to the 5th OA rather than the ~27th + one of our good D prospects
Yeah a Guenther trade is more likely Guenther+2nd for 5th overall than it is for a quantity package.

Maybe Guenther for Guhle+ would make sense for AZ

Kaliyev and Kakko would be on my radar for 24th and Struble/Harris/Barron

Yes, i know, Kakko is worth 4 1sts....:laugh:
Kakko, Tomasino, Holtz, Krebs, are the kind of guy I expect.
All guys fans won't suggest since they think their teams should move "deadwood" veterans to give the kids a chance.

Depth D for depth F, it could make sense.

Don't forget we have our own 3rd and 4th liners for next year and on the horizon. Someone like X junior could be a year away from the ideal 4th or even 3rd liner.

From all of them it's the ones with the most promise to rise to top 6. Kaliyev comes to mind.

Also someone like Frost who has fallen off the coaches wagon.
