Trade involving Celebrini and Caufield for Hughes and the Canadiens?

The Canadiens are in search of a high-level young talent upfront. A proposal has emerged, but it involves Cole Caufield, which isn't universally supported.

Indeed, why sacrifice one of the few players capable of consistently scoring goals for the team to acquire a player who hasn't played a single game yet? It doesn't make much sense.

Yes, Celebrini is solid and very promising, but he doesn't have the profile of a Sidney Crosby or a Connor McDavid. Nothing is certain, and to add insult to injury, the Habs would have to include their first-round pick.

In my opinion, it's too high a price to pay, but Mathias Brunet seems to think it would be a good idea.



Of course, he ends his column by mentioning that he knows very well that it will never happen because no team will trade its first overall pick.
