Panthers could find themselves in trouble following Chiarot's acquisition
As reported earlier this evening, the Habs traded defenseman Ben Chiarot to the Florida Panthers. In return, Ty Smilanic, selected 74th overall in 2020, heads to Montreal with a first round pick in 2023 and a fourth round pick in 2022.
Insider, Marc-Olivier Beaudoin mentioned, the important part of this deal is the first round pick.
It is not protected.
So, if the Panthers have multiple injuries next year and have a down season, the Habs could end up with a high draft pick.
Obviously, the chances are slim, but it remains an important line of trade, between the two teams.
It's a dream, but imagine if the Habs get the first overall pick next year with this and draft Connor Bedard.
