For that Tampa can keep him.

Don't let Bergevin waste Cap space for a third year in a row.

This isn't a waste?

If he doesn't do this trade , it is cap waste. Mtl had between 8 and 9 millions of cap space in the last two years. Unless money is an issue for Mtl cap space worths draft picks and prospects from the teams that have too much contracts and prospects.

Oh I'm all for taking a 1 year cap dump for prospects and/or picks but to help a division rival out of cap hell for a late 2nd? No thank you

If we don't help , somebody else will help. And we have a long way to go to compete Tampa.

???? How is Tampa a rival? Montreal rivals are the Conference teams that Montreal will compete against for a final playoff spot. Don't worry about the trade, highly unlikely Montreal is on Callahan's "trade me to" list

Fair point.

Folin ? Juulsen Brook Fleury not enough RHD ? All contract make sense with money & years except Lehkonen, sign him 3 years ( still RFA) at 2-2.5M or sign him 6-7 years at 3M
