It's likely Yzerman did this move because of the expansion draft. He needed the slots.
I'm finding it hard to be negative about this deal as a Habs fan
With acquiring Drouin, I think Galchenyuk is all but gone.
Bergevin's a fool, but he isn't a blind fool. He knows they need a center (well, two centers, but let's start with acquiring one & move from there) and I think it's rather obvious they don't see Galchenyuk as a center.
Incoming Galchenyuk for Duchene in 3, 2, 1...
I hope they keep Chucky after this trade.
Max-Danault- Radulov
Droiun-Chucky-Gallagher
So who do we have that is a potential replacement for Markov? The only D prospect I can think of that may have a top 4 shot is Mete and that is a big question mark. In all seriousness, who are our top prospects now? I don't believe the lists online.

Nobody of note.
There isn't a single prospect that you can point to and say, he's the guy.
Mete's a long way from making it, if ever. Juulsen's a second pairing guy probably, and even then he's on the right side.
Jake Evans is an interesting forward prospect, but again is a long way from making it.
There's a real case to be made that we have the worst prospect pool in the NHL.
