When is Montreal going to start paying teams for dumping players elsewhere? Hoffman won’t be drawing a 2nd from anywhere, let alone Edmonton. Detroit will never consider that. Drouin is a waste of a roster spot, and there is no room for Petry on the right side of the blue line with the better options that are available on their roster already. A team might be dumb enough to pay for Byron, but I doubt that happens. And with Anderson having that terrible contract, nobody will take that without retention, let alone without being paid to do so.
I also highly doubt that 5 of the biggest UFA players will all head to Montreal, especially with how far out of any kind of contention status they are. The only reason they even made the playoffs last year was because the North was the weakest division. Players know that Montreal isn’t a team in a contending spot, and likely won’t be for quite a few years. Plus these players are all trying to go for a cup, so they likely wouldn’t go to a Canadien team anyway.
