Could Mitch Marner be traded for the Canadiens' 5th overall pick in the 2024 draft?
This proposition was put forward by Mathias Brunet during a recent episode of his podcast "Processus" with Simon Boisvert.
«However, there is another type of trade that could be made with the 5th overall pick (of the Montreal Canadiens), which is to trade it for an established star player.
Mathias Brunet also raised a bold idea during the recent episode of his podcast "Processus" with Simon Boisvert, suggesting trading this pick for Mitch Marner.» - Mathis Therrien
While this is a significant proposition, it raises questions about whether it would be a beneficial trade for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
Although Canadiens fans may not like it, especially with the opportunity to select Ivan Demidov with the 5th pick.
While Demidov and Cayden Lindstrom show promise, Marner offers elite forward capabilities, as evidenced by his impressive production over recent seasons.
Consider his performance (per 82 games) throughout recent seasons. It's undeniably exceptional:
- 101 points
- 101 points
- 110 points
- 100 points
- 93 points
- 94 points
His consistent point production and solid defensive stats make him a valuable asset, particularly in playoff scenarios.
Furthermore, for those who perceive Marner as one-dimensional, reconsider; his defensive statistics are also highly commendable. In postseason play, he has amassed 50 points in 57 games, including 14 points in 11 games last season.
While this trade proposal isn't a guaranteed success, it certainly warrants further analysis and consideration.
