- seems like a huge overpay for Lafrenière, who took a big step back this season.

- Horvat is a great target for MTL, but the Isles would likely want a better prospect than Joshua Roy, who I just don’t see developing into an every-day NHL player.

- Andersson is very good, but MTL would be better off graduating Mailloux or Reinbacher. If neither is ready, a trade for someone with more term than one year would undoubtedly be favoured.

I'm thinking for Horvat the Habs would probably have to offer up Micheal Hage , which I wouldnt be comfortable doing, however to get these type of players, ya need to give up something as well.

Id like to see Lafrenier be added, however, I don't know what that looks like atm..

Have the management given up on Dach as the 2nd line guy?? I'm torn on this. I dont think I'm quite ready yet. However his injury history is obviously worrisome..

I haven’t given up on Dach yet . Tage Thompson is a hopeful comparison, he started coming into his own at age 24, that’s where Dach is now, but I think for this year he’s better suited for the 3c role.
