These deals are bad for the Habs.
Mesar did not have a good D+1 seasons, I'll grant you, but players coming over from Europe typically take a year to adjust to NA ice. Give him another year before you judge him, he did show flashes of the player he could be.
If you would agree that Monty is worth a 2nd, this Pittsburgh deal is essentially 2 x late 1sts and 2 x 2nds for a cap dump and pick 14.
The Vancouver deal is insane. Basically Garland and Anderson are both overpaid but useful wingers. Even though most would disagree, I would say they cancel each other out with No Retention.
So then the Vancouver deal is Farrell, Mailloux, Struble, a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd, plus 11M in retained salary over 4 years for pick 11.
No offense, but I hate these deals.
