Just trying something original! real crackpot idea here ;)

Chicago trade: So this trade is under the assumption that CHI are still going for the cup next year. MTL FULLY accepts every penny of the Seabrook contract, no retention whatsoever! CHI saves $4mil in cap space next year along with getting a depth puck mover and the cheapest 20 goal scorer on the market, and then their off the hook of Seabrook $6.875mil cap hit for the next 6 years afterwards! The cost for doing this? This years lottery pick, unprotected. It's a high price to pay for sure. but before people criticize the deal, The only thing that's been hurting the Hawks over the years is that they are constantly having to give up solid player to stay under the cap. Giving CHI $6.875mil in cap space is a dangerous move. Would it be worth giving up a top 10 pick? Maybe....

New Jersey trade: ok this one is me really reaching lol I highly doubt the Devils trade their first, but after acquiring Seabrook. Petry would have to go, and he'd be easier to move then Weber. The Devils are also in a wild card spot at the moment. and this deal from MTL's perspective is banking on NJD falling out of the race, but sending them a top 4 D would really help with their playoff push, so it's also counter-intuitive lol But if NJD do fail to make the playoffs! MTL get a nice top 15 1st rd pick out of this. and to help out the Devils even more, and although the odds are very low, but if the Devils win one of the top 3 lottery picks, they can differ the pick.

So these deal essentially gives MTL 2 lottery picks and a chance at a top 15 pick, those are great odds! at worst it gives MTL a top 5 (MTL pick),a top 10 (CHI pick) and a top 20 (NJD pick).
