Habs 2022-2023

That Gallagher trade is a joke.
At 50% retained, he would get 1st + 1st round caliber prospect
What are you thinking here?

No.1 Petry doesn't waive to go to Dallas imo
No. 2 Marchessault isn't the guy they trade to make cap space
No. 3 We'll pay to dump Byron
No. 4 We aren't in a rush to retain salary on Gallagher's contract , especially for that return
No.5 Very lowball offer for Chychrun considering the market, imo it'll be too expensive to acquire him

Nill wont take Petry without retention, And that Chychrun trade is a joke no quality there what so ever. FYI Petry's wife and kids plan on staying in Detroit for the long haul, So zero chance of Petry waiving for Dallas to be 1,000 miles from his family. He wants to be near Detroit has humanly possible. So that basically only leaves Buffalo, Columbus and or Pittsburgh and possibly Detroit as landing sites.

I'm usually in agreement with your take , but this one if off by a mile . Gally is breaking down and most likely never plays 82 games again, hence why we'll never trade him because we'll want a big package that no teams will be willing to pay.

Although this would be an absolute steal for the sabres. That's not what he would get.
