So I'm working off another trade suggestion made by an ACGM earlier, with some tweaks. Haydn is the odd man out in Raleigh and I feel this package would be enough to pry away a RFA that still has yet to get his footing in the NHL. Sign him and Kulak both to bridge deals and let them battle it out in camp for a top 4 spot although I think Haydn if given the opportunity could be that shutdown guy Petry could really use as a partner.

Ferland now. I know a lot will think this is overpayment and I think they're probably right but the word is he'll demand Tom Wilson money and to get him in MTL it'll cost. Reasons I'd pay him are
-he's a physical presence that Montreal was missing on the forecheck this year.
-he's no slouch, he'll put up points playing with Domi.
-he's only turning 27 this month and at 5 years he probably will not start to drop off too much before his contract expires.
-and the biggest reason... net presence on the PP.

Anyway let me know what you guys think. I'm not one to advocate signing UFAs but the more I think about it the more I think Ferland would be a great fit in Montreal so I'd like to hear what fellow Hab fans think on that topic especially.
