-It's all moot because Edmonton can't assume this much cap, but hoo boy the value here is terrible. RNH is a very affordable 2C who can play PP1 and on the top-line too if necessary. Barrie is not the best defensive D but is a good QB on the PP and can flourish when paired with a strong defensive LHD. Mike Smith is irrelevant - he's LTIRetired right now, but moving him doesn't do anything for Edmonton, because they'd still have Oscar Klefbom on LTIR (so this is actually a terrible move for them, cap-wise.) Monahan *might* be able to replicate what RNH brings them this season, but part of Hopkins' value is his affordable cap hit *and* extended term - Edmonton isn't finding a UFA that will match that production at that cap hit this summer. Anderson can't play center and actually gets paid more than RNH, so he doesn't do much to help the Oilers (and will be made more or less redundant when Evander Kane returns towards the end of the season). Joel Edmundson would be an interesting piece but even with his addition, this package just is too lopsided in Montreal's favor.
-Another easy pass for the non-Montreal team. First: you're going to need to give a big reward for asking Chicago to eat $1.5M over the next 8 years. Even if we assume that the 2023 1st you're sending them is enough (probably not), you're also sending them a worse player in Barrie (with less term) and sticking them with a quickly declining Brendan Gallagher's $6.5M. Dumping *that deal is going to cost something - which means you're basically offering up an single OK prospect and Tyson Barrie for Seth Jones. No way Chicago pulls the trigger on that deal - even if you think Seth Jones isn't worth his deal, they're not going to move on from him one year into an 8 year deal (and even if they did I'm pretty sure his NMC would keep him out of Montreal.)
