We’re talking about the idea of the Montreal Canadiens trading Cole Caufield in a package for Connor Bedard.
Is it feasible, is it plausible, would you do it?

Dream on Montreal
Caufield and Bedard have a lot more similarity than you might think, just saying.
Not a fn chance. Bedard is worth 3 Caufields.
Caufield is the only consistent player on the team. Proven performer. Trade him for Bedard? The answer would be beyond no…
No, you don't lmao. That is insane. Put it like this: Bedard is a 15. Cole is a 9. Those two 1st rounders are AT LEAST 7's. At minimum, the Cole package is a 23 vs. Bedard at 15.
Any Habs fan that considers this is nuts tbh
I would do it if both picks are out of the top 5, if we get 2/3 + something arround 7, it would be insane to do the trade.
Every team wants a 100 points guy but if you focus on that over having say 2 PPG guys + a good 2nd liner you're insane.
It would be like trading the Matthews+Marner+Bunting for Mcdavid.
Duuhhhhh lol
Dream on, will never happen.
So basically become a Chicago organization, trading a young player for Bedard, is exactly as Dach.
McDavid and the Oilers has shown us that one generational talent doesn't win cups. So if MTL ends up having 1 pick in the top 4 and the other top 10 no way in hell would I do that trade. This draft class is stacked. The top ten picks alone consist of one generational player and 9 potential elite. I'd rather have two elite players to add onto the extremely talented core that MTL has over one generational talent and loosing Caufield.
What seems like a "Slam Dunk Hell Yes !!" to you probably seems like a "Slam Dunk F*ck No !!" to the other team…
No I'd rather keep tanking and play both of them on the same line.
At this rate either we're going to get Bedard + another superstar in the making or 2 superstars in the making. Be patient…
Yes, yes, oh and yes
Its a dumb trade if bedard is as good habs got a steal if he isnt the habs look like morons and trade away their future we already have a good fututre why jepordize that for bedard and they have bedard why trade him away its dumb on both sides
I would trade Drouin for Bédard and Hoffman for McDavid and Draisaitl lol
We're talking ten 1st round picks minmum for Bedard. Plus other players….
Bedard will fill seats anywhere he goes , I don’t think caufield has that pull, no sane person would make that trade tabernac
Whatch what you say bro conner mcdavid was sopposed to win the calder if it wasnt for Manning he would have but bedard will get crushed and im not being bitter but bedard is still smaller then mcdavid
Look at the lindros trade thats why these trades dont get made
McDavid draisatl 3firsts and rookie Dominic Hasek(because of entertainment)
I feel like Caufield has everything to become a 50 goals scorer in a couple of years. Bedard will probably be the better player overall but if one of those first picks end up being a Mathew Tkatchuk or a Charlie McAvoy this could make the habs such a better team that we are at the moment. You don't make a contender team with just one superstar player nowadays.
you were about due for a Cole Caufield video. this is like the 45th video on him
What is wrong with this channel? Not even 10 caulfieds. He is not even close to anywhere near bedards level of play. Why do people think caulfield is so good when he is average at best?
Do you really think any team makes a trade that isn't lottery protected.
its not trading for Bedard its stacking for picks ahead of time. Why not Slafkovsky? Suzuki? and ….
if Bedard ends up in Arizona, where does Cooley go?? Winnipeg? (see Mr Wheeler) And what happens to Doan at ASU? I would be seriously shopping their prospects, with the volumes of draft picks they have, in various rounds already drafted. Open Season.
Sillinger had the same number of goals in full season that McDavid did. And played the full season.
Connor Hockey in the lumberjack jersey ??
ok what about tim stu debrincate and ottawas first overall for bedard? or would it even be on the table at that point? i dont think you want to give to much away to get him but would it be thought about to me as i see it bedard isnt the playmaker mcdavid and crosby are.
Let one of the bottom dwellers get Bedard, just to level the playing field for the league.
This is such a dumb conversation 😀 You could wrap any decent young player w/ a ton of picks for Bedard and it would be the same deal, and still no one would trade him obviously. This topic is a waste of space.
I feel like a prime season for Caufield would be 46-48 goals 30-35 assists
This dude legit made a video comparing Cold Caufield to a generational player like Bedard hahahahahahahaha
I'd like them to play together on a team with Makar and McDavid
Do it
The 18 is he really as good as Mcdavid was that young.
No one is giving up Bedard. Not even the Canucks are stupid enough to do that…I think.
I would NOT! d it at the moment but it's another question after knowing where the Habs and habs 2nd(Florida) pick are after the lotery. In my opinion. Caufeild + Fantilli are over Bedard but… It's to soon to make any trade. And any GM will want to know where are theses picks before doing the trade anyway so let's talk about this after 2023 june 29th.
Even though bedard is good one good hit on him and hes done ..therefore not a good idea to get him
I would not trade Caufield he has 50 goals and he is awesome.
