MTL hard pass. Not for what they are giving up (Jordie Benn is an average 3rd pairing guy who's currently overachieving) but what's coming back is horrible.
Just use the WIN-MTL trade this past summer as an example. For the Jets to have the Habs get rid of Mason for them, it cost them a 4th + 7th + Armia who's still a former 16th overall pick with a decent amount of potential (and playing good in all situations this year and mentoring / protecting KK)
Hanzal is a much bigger contract to deal with, so at least one good asset needs to be coming back. Habs also have no use for someone like Hanzal anyways. They already have an injury prone vet whose solid defensively with Plekanec, so buyout / burying him would be their only options.
