i highly doubt petry waives his ntc for edm

1st trade, it's close to a fair deal, but I cannot imagine That Petry will waive his NMC for EDM...
2nd trade, Why Calgary will take Alzner?? They looking for reduce salary...

Both Price_is_the_Goat and yanp007 said almost all there is to be said here. The only addition I have is the draft is in MTL next season so they will not be giving away all the draft picks they've acquired. If anything they are looking to get more picks for Hudon and Lindgren.

James Neal $5,750,000, TJ Brodie $4,650,400, Total $10,400,400
Karl Alzner $4,625,000, Victor Mete $748,333, Noah Jullsenn $863,333, Total $6,236,666
Salary Cap lowered by $4,163,734
If Alzner is buried in the minors, Karl Alzner $4,625,000 - $1,075,000= $3,550,000, Victor Mete $748,333, Noah Jullsenn $863,333, Total $5,161,666
Salary Cap lowered by $5,238,734
Added to the current available cap space, Calgary would have than 14.7 M$ ( $9,473,292 + $5,238,734)
Is this enough for signaning all 4 RFA, i believe, but it's may be tight.

And I agree, Petry would probably refuse to move to Edmonton.
He may consider that playing with Nurse may give him better stats and help him get a better contract in 2021,
in Montreal he never had a quality ldefenseman on his left

Acquiring more draft picks, in my opinion, is like Bergevin saying to the fans, wait... and wait again... the future will be bright
and i will save my job for years to come.
I do not think Bergevin can survive for that long , he has to deliver.
Bergevin will not win any trophy for having the most draft picks.

Bergie is on borrowed time for sure but these trade proposals are a no for all teams. The point was that the draft is in Montreal so getting rid of 3 picks won't happen. They will want to be on the stage as much as they can to please the crowd. I'm a Habs fan and believe me when I say I never get excited for: draft day/July 1st/trade deadline.

No thanks from Edmonton.
