Here’s 3 trades that imo would make habs legit this year and future
1 - habs trade with ducks
MTL sends : Newhook, Anderson and a 2026 1st round and 2nd
To Anaheim for : mctavish ( sign him to 8x8)

2- habs trade with Chicago
MTL sends Josh Roy and a 5th round
To chi for : Connor Murphy ( rhd big physical defensive defender, perfect to pair with Hutson )

3- habs trade with Columbus
MTL sends matheson
To Columbus for chinakhov

Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov mctavish laine
Chinakhov Dach or Bolduc
Blais or veleno evans Gallagher

Guhle DObson
Hutson Murphy
Xehjaj Carrier
Struble

This would certainly help Montreal. there's just no reason for the other teams to make those trades.

Great targets for 1 and 2, and I haven’t seen Chinakhov play so I can’t comment there. (I’m interested in anyone’s thoughts that may have seen the kid play though?)

I think ANA and CHI would command more of a return than offered. I also tend to think that most teams will be reluctant to trade 2026 Draft Picks since the draft is a deep one. It will still happen, but perhaps not as often as it did in this June’s draft.

On 1- throw in farrel and Luke tuch
On 2- throw in a 4th

And make the first round on mctavish unprotected

Throwing a couple more nickels into the pot, doesn't change anything for the other teams.
