I had some questions right from the get go here but then it just got real messy the further down I went.
MTL won't retain with term remaining, doesn't fit their plan at this stage so they'll simply ride it out.
7-8 pieces for 1-2 pieces rarely happens as most teams aren't looking to dilute their asset quality with quantity, sure the value may end up similar but these kind of trades are best reserved for chel and not the NHL. You've sent 15 pieces to PHI for 3 pieces here, don't think that one has a chance of happening.
Cap space isn't really that valuable for MTL this season since there are so many expiring contracts this year anyway (Drouin, Dadanov, Byron, Allen) and a few more expiring another year later which lines up perfectly for this rebuild.
I like Hart but I don't think that's the package to make that happen, I also don't know if he'll be the guy to bring a team to a cup honestly.
It's nice to see some out of the box ACGM-ing, this is just a lot to assess and way to many moving parts to be really sure on anything.
