Episode 56: Crazy NHL Draft Day Trade Ideas

Get PuckD Podcast: A Montreal Canadiens Podcast

In this episode we discuss... 0:00 - Intro 0:06 - Stanley cup playoffs 2nd round picks results 1:42 - Habs picking at number 5. Who is going from 1 to 4? 3:45 - Matt presents a ridiculous trade scenario involving the Philadelphia Flyers. Should/Could they trade the 5th overall pick? 12:18 - Should the Habs select Michkov 15:50 - Is there a trade to be made with the Philadelphia Flyers that would involve the 5th and 7th overall picks? 17:55 - Hypothetical scenario, what if the Habs trade up to 4th? Should they do it if it cost them the 5th and something that might "sting" a little? 25:05 - If the players the Habs want are taken at 5, could they trade down and draft someone like Reinbacher who addresses an organizational need? (Would be a mistake in our opinion) 26:35 - The number 3 spot has not been good to the Montreal Canadiens. Spot 5 has been better. Looking back at the Habs last 3rd overall picks 34:05 - Bob Mackenzie's latest draft rankings 35:37 - If the Habs take Michkov and in 3 years from now he does not come to North America, it will be another failed top 5 pick for the Habs. Is it worth the risk? 36:27 - If both Will Smith and Michkov are available at 5, who should the Habs pick? Vito thinks that Will Smith is a potential 90-100 pts player 37:48 - Viewers and listeners, we have 2 questions for you: If both Michkov and Smith are available at 5 (unlikely), who would you take? Also, would YOU trade up or down and what would you pay to trade up and what would it take to trade down?
