No I mean if the Habs were to trade their 1st next year, it would need to be lottery protected

Yeah, people usually include something like top 5 protected or "either the 2019 or 2020 pick" depending on the results.

So if they failed to make the playoffs, it would be the first of 2020?

Lottery protected means if your pick is in the lottery, it gets pushed back to the following year, which is why Colorado doesn't own the 4th overall pick in this draft

And lose out on Alexis Lafrenière?

It doesn't work that way, you have to protect it at the time of the trade, not knowing where the pick will be

And lose out on Alexis Lafrenière?

Ottawa's deal was that they could choose wether if was the 2018 or 2019 pick.

If next year they still suck (which is likely) they might still end up giving a top 5 pick to Colorado.

Habs need to trade everyone and everything to get him.
