Wouldnt Matheson and Girard deal make more sense.
Also despite being broken the year his team won a cup with him on IR
He's still got a lot of value, no where near his previous asking price but high.
Matheson
Ylonen(Ranta type but more defensively focused i guess kinda like lehkonen lite the AHL edition lol )
Norlinder(top AHL LD having a solid year under Coach Houde)
1st in 2025 Top 10 protected
2nd in 2023
4th in 2023
For
Girard (good option but is a Petry+ not a Weber so he's best left on 2nd pair but MTL lacks a true top pair RD prospect so he'll do for now)
Then MTL trade them Monahan @ 50% RS for a 1st in 2023 and Ranta
MTL gets a 1st back and a Ylonen type prospect between NHL fringe and AHL Starter.
Its still a big pay for both teams but COL comes out ready to defend their cup better after some big loss's.
Matheson and Monahan fill holes COL needed filled both short and long term but shaves a year term and 125k a year off the contract committment over Girdard.
Matheson will occupy Girard's role for slightly less cash and like Girard can play both sides of the ice and a complete 200ft physical game.
