We’re going over an idea discussed by Georges Laraque as to whether or not the Montreal Canadiens could trade up in the 2024 NHL Draft with the Columbus Blue Jackets, with Joshua Roy as a sweetener.

Demidov or riot
Besides Celebrini and Demidov, Catton is the most skilled.
Keep our #5 not worth giving up on Joshua Roy imo we will still be able to draft a suitable player with our #5 and JR is better at this stage than most #5's
Not Roy, a prospect like Filip Mesar/Riley Kidney/Jared Davidson + the jet 1st overall maybe
Here in Québec, Laraque is known as the greatest fighter ever and the worst GM ever😂 I mean the only way I would give up Roy to go up at #4 is if Demidov is still on the board but would Colombus pass on that? Lol
The perpetual rebuild.
Sennece may be better than Linstrom.
No, not Roy, There are a lot of scouts that are saying after Celebrini and maybe Demidov there is good forward talent available,
Some are bigger, some are smaller with better puck sense etc. Habs could package some players to make room on the blueline
@Legrocks99 I said it before, I’ll say it again. Bro you need to be a guest in Tony Marino sick podcast and discuss habs talk about the upcoming draft.
We are never getting out of this rebuild. As a decade long #1 fan of the CH, this is ridiculous
I’d be willing to give more to trade up with Chicago tbh
for listening to Laraque for a few of his takes, i have not heard a single one that would make sense in either draft or trade… For me it's in order of who is available Demidov, Lindstrom & Iginla. No need to move up moving down if we know Tij will be available sounds good to my ears . Besides all these guys have years before we can say who was stolen at what rank and who was a bust.
If you are 4 and Demidov and Lindstrom are taken, I would jump on Levshunov. But all in all I say keep 5
We are keeping Roy
Assuming CBJ and MTL come to an agreement to swap picks with the intent of MTL getting one of the 2 guys mentioned, it would only happen AT the draft when it's CBJs time to pick. It wouldn't happen before the draft.
Sennece PLEASE!!!! He is amazing. I like hi much more that Linstrom. Lindstrom is another Josh Anderson. Straight line push and not much more.
Man you are just covering all the crazy ideas now. Just stop 🛑
Columbus would probably do the trade; not so much for Roy (Columbus doesn’t need another middle-6 F), but mostly because they’re 99% likely to take a D at #4 anyway, and if they can add another asset and then draft the player they were going to take anyway, of course you do it.
Or maybe you take the guy for future considerations, where the future considerations are not taking the guy Montreal wants.
EDIT: either way, it’s the wrong move to make. You would want to approach either Anaheim or Chicago with an offer for their picks; and I’m pretty sure that Chicago would be open to trading their 2nd overall for a pair of first round picks. They’re not close enough to competing that it wouldn’t make sense to stockpile first rounders whenever possible.
Wow this is starting to become insane. Where do you get all this nonsense.
I would. By fifth Montreal's option might be only a defenseman instead of an offense powerhouse like Lindstrom. I don't believe Roy will be a top 6 regardless of what many think
The real deal here is Berkley Catton. I am an old dude. I was there when the Québec Nordiques drafted Joe Sakic. Catton reminds me a lot of Sakic. Dangerous in any situation, he can shoot, he can pass, he can improvise… Future star to me.
The Jackets don't have a GM !
Call Chicago for Roy  you're assured to get whomever you want Montreal. Uz Chgo is going to take Demidov as they're taking best available player
LOL that is never happening. Hughes would have the French media out to destroy him if he traded away a hometown future star. larocque has taken way too many head shots.
We don't have to draft a forward. One of the defensive prospects is fine too if that's all that's available. We have assets we can move for a forward.
