Mathias Brunet proposed a major trade offer between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres involving Cole Caufield and Rasmus Dahlin.
On BPM Sports, the journalist put forward a bold proposition. Personally, I'm not a fan, but it's up to you to decide.
"Mathias Brunet would trade the Canadiens' first-round pick (unprotected), Michael Hage, and Cole Caufield (or Kaiden Guhle) for Rasmus Dahlin!"BPM Sports
And here is the clip in question:
I admit that Dahlin is an extraordinary player, but I would never be willing to give up so much to acquire him.
A Concrete Trade Proposal from Mathias Brunet, Involving Four Pieces Including Cole Caufield and Rasmus Dahlin
To summarize, the trade would be:
- The Canadiens' 2025 first-round draft pick (unprotected), which could be a top-3 overall selection.
Michael Hage, who seems to be developing into an excellent young player.
Kaiden Guhle or Cole Caufield...
In exchange for Dahlin.
I believe the Buffalo Sabres' general manager would accept this trade, but I hope Kent Hughes wouldn't make it.
Mathias Brunet explained his proposal as follows:
"I think I can get him, Dahlin! I mean, Dahlin can lock down 30 minutes on the left.. You'd have Hutson behind him.If it takes that price, I'd pay it."
It's an interesting idea, but I personally wouldn't be ready to pay that price.
Martin Lemay admitted that he would also trade for Dahlin, but instead of a draft pick, he would offer Lane Hutson and Cole Caufield.
Dahlin, 24 years old, is a 6 foot 3, 204-pound left-shot defenseman. He was the first overall pick in 2018 and has accumulated 19 points in 25 games this season, with a positive +4 rating.
In his NHL career, he has 311 points in 461 games, including an impressive 73 points in 78 games during the 2022-23 season.
And you, would you make the trade?
