Blackhawks aren’t getting shaw back for that price and they are close to the cap. Anahiem isn’t doing that trade. Lindholm is on a great contract for his caliber for 1yr left after this year for max.

“Anaheim isn’t doing that trade” ha! If they’re not doing there’s no way in hell Montreal does it! Why would they trade one of the top goal scorers of his time without getting at least a high caliber pick and a top prospect...

a

Buddy montréal will do that in a second. Anahiem is also on a cap crunch and they won’t be able to sign a guy who will want 7+ for a top 2 potential player who makes 5.2 for the next 4!

they’re not going to be in the business of 1 for 1 trades for the foreseeable future. They’re targeting picks and prospects and more important a Center. Also I don’t know why Anaheim would want to trade Lindholm after already trading Vantanen this year. Maybe if anaheim threw in a prospect or a pick but patioretty’s price is steep and they’ll get what they want at the draft

oh my. If anything montréal will need to throw in picks or player or prospects. Like I said before why would Anaheim trade a guy who is on the great contract for the next four years and his caliber to have a guy for one year and Anaheim probably won’t be able to sign him after this year?

They don’t... and I don’t either teams should make this trade it just doesn’t make sense. I say Anaheim should add a pick or prospect due to the fact that patioretty is higher valued player not off cap space projection or anything else. Montreal could use that top pairing LHD but they could get that through the draft whereas they need patioretty to get a Center considering odds arnt great to sign JT. Bottom line we agree with each other, no need to argue haha
