Habs reject

Why would Seattle want Keith? It will likely be more for Gio at the trade deadline without salary retention and taking back a bad contract.

The Arizona deal is ok, I am not to sure that Arizona will want to take back Kassian and can likely do a similar trade else where without that piece coming back

Montreal would not need to add the draft pick and Tuch and Edmonton may need to send an additional draft pick.

so seattle gets a pick for eating Keiths salary, but what do they get for Gio?

Best bet hope Keith retires. Think it’s too soon for Holland or klef to have any idea if he’s going to attempt return or not which means can’t really be in on chychrun. Chariot is the only player in that habs trade oilers may have some limited interest in and that doesn’t justify Holloway.
