Yikes man, horrible deal for Anaheim imo

Del Zotto, Gardiner, Gauthier, Kassian... Yikes

yeesh, all of these are terrible for anyone not named montreal, even the ones remotly close in value dont make any sense for the other team

Canes pass. We aren’t giving up Gunler for Hoffman.

Ducks: you need to solidify your D

Canes: you need a power play specialist and to dump Gardiner's contract

Cap dumps: Gardiner, Del Zotto and Reaves contracts expire in one year. Kassian's contract can be bought out in a year.

nucks pass, we would monitize him in a hockey trade and hes worth more than a 4th

By that logic Montreal needs Petry worse than the Ducks do. Look, seeing that a team needs "a" defenseman doesn't mean they want "your" defenseman. Petry is old and has a terrible contract. It doesn't need to get any deeper than that as to why the Ducks say no.

Carolina isn't paying for hoffman in this trade, especially a 2nd rd draft pick when hoffman has a worse contract

cap dumps are to get cap space

Avs pass easily. Not giving up a cost control 1st round pick who hasn't even been given a chance yet in the NHL for Drouin.
