Cole Caufield

that is a huge no from mtl

This will not end well for you

For the Montreal trade, Montreal is getting screwed. Caufield alone probably requires Oettinger and the first, and you can probably add on more to that total. But adding in Benn, even with the retention, Dallas would have to pay a hell of a lot more to get out of the negative value they are giving up.

As for the other trade, Dallas is getting fleeced left, right, and center. The main piece is Perron, and his value is about the same as Lindell, albeit Lindell is probably more valuable with the retention. But the massive overpay for an extremely overrated goalie in Ned is very dumb for Dallas to do.

Dallas and Montreal both pass trade #1.

And Detroit passes on trade #2.

Easy no from habs.
