What if Vegas sent Cody Glass to the Montreal Canadiens instead of Nick Suzuki?

What if Cody Glass went to the Montreal Canadiens for Max Pacioretty instead of Suzuki?

Now let's explore the parallel universe where Cody Glass is traded to the Montreal Canadiens instead of Nick Suzuki. Remember that nothing will change on the Max Pacioretty front, where declining play and a receding body will leave him traded to the Carolina Hurricanes with Dylan Coghlan. Therefore, it's not worth exploring this further.

What if Glass was a Canadien instead of his fellow 2017 first-round draft pick? For starters, Montreal would have a different captain. The most likely candidate would be Cole Caufield, another young star with promise. The Canadiens would also struggle further without Suzuki as one of the worst teams in the NHL. They were struggling to gain traction in the Atlantic Division and would have multiple lottery picks with Glass.

Also, McPhee would've cut his losses with the prospect sooner. Glass turned out to be a lower line player who couldn't piece everything together for the Golden Knights. If Bergevin got his wish, it would've blown up in his face, with fans calling for his head. As for Vegas, it would've been another successful trade, i.e. Jack Eichel and Chandler Stephenson.
