Montreal buying a rental seems pretty crazy.

Montreal isn't going to do that trade based on where they are headed. That's fair value, but Montreal rejects.

Gaudreau this years an all-star with over a point per game, while caulfield is a guy that is constantly being moved up and down the lineup. Flames would decline

You're right, It doesn't make sense for either team. Even though Montreal is getting more value here, Gaudreau will want to sign with a competitive team in FA so he won't resign with Montreal. Montreal is rebuilding so obviously that isn't ideal.

This is guaranteed to be the most accurate comment of the day, unless someone gets the chance to say "Connor McDavid isn't getting traded."

Cirelli >Monahan why are they sending a pick. Plus monahan makes more which tampa cannot afford.
