On BPM Sports, during Mathias Brunet's segment, a surprising and massive trade was discussed. It involves Cole Caufield, for Kent Hughes.

Personally, we would never do that, but it's up to you to judge.

Blockbuster trade involving Cole Caufield and the CH's first pick announced at the draft? It was just brought up on BPM Sports and we disagree



See the sequence in question, and we will get back to it.


"Would you trade Cole Caufield and your first pick this year for Macklin Celebrini?

Mathias Brunet knew what he was doing."

And you, would you trade Cole Caufield and the Canadiens' first-round pick in 2024 (apparently between 5th and 7th overall) for Macklin Celebrini?

We love Celebrini, but we would never make this trade.

Yes, Celebrini is special, but so is Caufield, and furthermore, a player like Cole Eiserman could also be special and available at the Canadiens' 6th overall pick.

Celebrini, 17 years old, is dominating in the NCAA with Lane Hutson at Boston University.

The player who will be the 1st overall pick in 2024 is a center standing 6 feet tall and weighing 190 pounds, who has collected an incredible 59 points (31 goals) in 35 games, a historic tally for a 17-year-old in the NCAA.

However, he's not a generational talent like Connor Bedard, and giving up a Cole Caufield along with a top-7 pick overall is too costly for our liking.

And you, would you trade Cole Caufield and the CH's 1st pick in 2024 for Macklin Celebrini?
