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.
