If the 1st is unprotected habs might consider

Plus Chiarot already said he would come back in a heartbeat. So while losing Eddy would hurt we have options for replacement.

Leafs are gettin fleeced in both deals

like he would have said otherwise. No offense but Chariot will sign the deal of his life this summer and that won't be wtth the habs.

He has absolutely no reason to say that, he is no longer part of the organization, it doesn't benefit him in any way. I believe he was being genuine, he probably won't be back cause we are likely done moving major pieces but he would come back if we asked and gave a reasonable offer.

If I'm a player who go on UFA market. I'm saying all the good thing because of course i want the more team to be interest in me. Even the team who traded me. A reasonnable price for Chiarot it's like 4,5Mx4 years. and will probably get 5 or 5,5 X 6 years

tell me when other GM swill be looking out for the Leafs' best interests

Most athletes have more honor and pride than greed, many would play for the love of the game if they couldn't get paid to play. Even after retirement you see ro athletes playing for pennies in old-timer leagues. You see players speak out all the time against coaches, management, teammate and even the fans without it affecting their value. Even ADA and Evander Kane got new contracts, sure they had to take less because they did stupid thing off the ice. If he wasn't going to be honest or had something negative to say he would have just declined the interview. I think you are just being too cynical.
