Whoa, was not expecting this...?!

[Josh]

Holy fuck, what a steal!

I knew the Galchenyuk + 1st rumours couldn't make sense.

Hahaha the ridiculous shit fans will make up...

Very interesting trade here though. Dissapointing the Sens couldn't him. My guess is Tampa was asking for Chabot straight up.

Sergachev better end up being one hell of a defenseman.

Huge deal for Montreal. Big risk here for Tampa.

Yeah if we did Drouin for Chabot I would have been pretty disappointed.

Same. Wouldn't have done it for Brown either, but I would for White.

I think it's an expansion trade though; if I'm not mistaken, Sergachev doesn't need to be protected. So this frees up an extra protection for Tampa while Montreal must now protect Drouin.

[Josh]

They just signed him to a six-year extension..

I think I'd have done it for either Brown or White. This is a former 4th overall pick, we all saw what he did in junior. Now 22, and in his second full season put up 53 points. Still only 160 gp going into next season. Had a hickup in his development due to some stuff, and obviously he and Tampa decided it wasn't going to work, but I think this could still be an 80+ point scorer. He and Galchenyuk together will be a spectacle.

I don't know much about Sergachev but given his size I'm guessing the stats don't tell the full story, cus I can't imagine there weren't some pretty strong offers out there.

Not to be nit-picky, but Drouin went 3rd. I guess that's the definition of being nit-picky, lol. I agree with your points. We still have to look at this trade as more than what meets the eye though; Tampa's also getting the extra player to protect.

[Dean Ambrose]

I'm still so happy.

[Josh]

I'm still so happy.

You should be, this is a huge deal for Montreal. Drouin and Galchenyuk will be dynamite together.

Oh right. I guess I was so high on Seth Jones at the time my brain still can't seem to process that he fell to 4th.
