Not a bad trade with Vegas but MTL decline, too risky

Why would you give up those assets for aging players. Especially Suzuki, probably our best prospect and Mete, who plays good minutes with Weber and is only getting better. I would be alright with trading Drouin but only in the right deal.

The only aging player is stastny . The key player is theodore . LD top pairing . Gusev is not old with offensive upside but risky.
Coefield, primeau, romanov are better prospect than Suzuki but who knows.
Thanks for replying .
My main goal was To build a better hockey team than last year . Improve défense and power play.

Sure, Arizona is the go-to when you want to dump players. They will just accept trash, why not

Gusev is 27. Not "old" but not young either. Agreed that the main component for this would be Theodore for the Habs who is undoubtedly better than Mete.
I dont think Vegas wants to trade Start my though. Karlsson, Stastny and Glass are 3 pretty good centers to have in your lineup. Vegas also doesn't have much use for Drouin who would be on the 3rd line. Maybe Gusev, Theodore, Reaves for Suzuki, Mete, Armia, Conditional first and 3rd.
