for Tatar, Nick Suzuki and a 2nd.

Max traded to Golden Knights
- Thread starter TheCountofMonteCristo
- Start date
This is why McPhee is a really bad GM. That’s way too much for one year of Max. Suzuki is a very good prospect.
but small
He’s 5’11”. Not that small.
He’s David Suzuki’s nephew so he’s probably a tree hugger.
McPhee also traded Forsberg for Erat, if you recall.
when did 5'11 become big?
again though, a star traded and the biggest need not filled. Left D this time.
2 top forwards, top d top prospect traded in 2 yrs no top centre nor left D in return.

I did not say he was big, i said he was not small. DD was small.

Your biggest need is centre, and Suzuki is a really good centre prospect.
This is a brilliant move.
I can't see the torpedoed Kings trade having been better than this, and I doubt McPhee made this trade without having an extension number agreed to.
He is a heck of a prospect , solid return for Nero. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns out better than JK
With a gun to the head and in ugly situation on hand , we did very well.
:worshippy:
arty:The proposed Kings trade involved Dolan their second rounder in 2017 , this years first and cap fillers
This deal is superior as NS has top line upside .
I can’t believe this clown pulled this off
I think what pulled this deal off was us taking Tatar off their hands more than them taking Max off ours . He was the odd man out and Nick was the sweetener to the deal .

I don't mind this trade at all. It's actually pretty good.
It's mostly MaxPac for Suzuki. Tatar is there to even out the salary and the 2nd is whatever season.
Nick Suzuki might be in the NHL this season. If not, it'll be at the start of the 2019-2020.
Habs might (arguably) have the best center prospect depth in the NHL with this trade.

It's not big, but in the modern NHL that's more than big enough for the player's size to be irrelevant if the player's got high-end scoring potential, which Suzuki does. I'm honestly surprised that McPhee coughed him up in this deal. That's a really nice prospect to be giving up for a pending UFA coming off a bad season.
Throw in the second round pick, and Tatar who's under contract for three more years and is typically good for around 25 goals, and I think this has got to be one of the better trades Bergevin's ever made.
