Quoting: Black61
No from mtl on a few fronts.
They dont want to downgrade a pick to dump armia.
They dont want to retain on walker because then they cant retain on monahan who will be one of the most coveted tdl assets.
They dont want garland they already have too many undersized wingers
IDK, I just don't think that value wise you need the 2nd from COL in this trade. Mtl help by taking Garland, his value is more negative with 3years thand Armia's.
On the retain side, Monahan and Pearson are really cheap, at the TDL even without retaining, many team can afford their salary.
Mtl As too many undersized player, sure, but I can't imagine this would be Mtl only move of the season, and they are in transition so maybe they'll flip some again.
I do not totally agree with the value for Mtl if you give a 2nd, but if you adjust that I kinda like the idea of ths 3 way transaction.
