If you look at maybe getting Huberdeau or Couturier with the 5th pick overall. I can see the habs giving up 1 of (Eller/Leblanc/Kristo) as well as maybe Weber and our first to move up.
Other than Crosby who obviously is not French their hasn't been a Top 5 star coming out of the Q since Vinny which is a long time ago. I am English but still can see the x-factor in drafting one of the top prospects from Quebec. Either of the two may hit or miss but then again that is what the draft is. I would take a shot at either of them if the opportunity arises. We might not get a chance again for years. If either/or both turn out to be stars who wants to listen for the next 15 year that the habs did nothing to try and obtain them.
