That Fiala trade is hard to look at

adding 1 mill in cap for a worse player? No thanks

He has one year left and Tatar has 2 so you're saving money in the end and can likely move Drouin retained at the deadline.

MIN decline.
Price isn't waiving for Vegas.
MTL probably have to retain a bit on petry with anything involving good prospects.
NJD probably accept but MTL doesn't do that, they don't need to add Tatars extra year of salary when they're retooling.

They both have 1 year left

Oops I saw 1yr! Yeah no point in NJD doing this, unless droiun has a decent yr leading to deadline NJD can probably get more for Tatar retained at the deadline.

(No comment!!)

That looks like a trade Vegas would make. Not sure that Price would wave for them though: they do not have the best reputation.
