REPORT: Details on the possible BLOCKBUSTER TRADE between three teams

Yesterday it was reported on Twitter by Patrick Lortie that the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Columbus Blue Jackets were possibly working on a pre-draft trade that would be a blockbuster one for the three organizations.

Currently the three teams all have top 10 draft picks that could be moved around: The Montreal Canadiens (who pick 1st, 26th & 33rd), the Columbus Blue Jackets (who pick 6th and 12th) and the New Jersey Devils (who pick 2nd).

Regarding trade rumor involving #GoHabsGo #CBJ and #NJDevils - Been told teams are also looking to swap picks. Devils are picking second, #Habs are picking 1st and 26th while Columbus are picking 6th and 12th.

Doubt it would involve any of these picks but you never know.— Patrick Lortie (@patrick_lortie) June 15, 2022

So if these trade rumours are true:


Montreal trades: Josh Anderson and #33 pick
New Jersey trades: #2 pick
Columbus trades: #6 & #12 picks

Montreal gets: #6 pick
New Jersey gets: Josh Anderson & #12 pick
Columbus gets: #2 & #33 picks

So if I get this correctly

Habs trade Anderson and #33
NJ Trade #2OA
CBJ Trade #6 and #12 OA

Habs get #6 OA
NJ gets Anderson and #12 OA
CBJ gets #2 and #33 OA

That's.. pretty good for each team really— Matt Godbout (@Habitforming1) June 15, 2022

I actually really like this for all organizations. Montreal gets a higher draft pick to help with their rebuild, Columbus gets a future star player, and New Jersey gets a top 6 power forward they're missing and still a top 15 player.
