Trade 1 - Montreal has no reason to trade for an LTIR contract, we don't need the cap room.
Trade 2 - Montreal isn't getting anything of value in this trade Kapanen isn't a top 6 winger, he is signed longer and we are retaining salary, gonna have to add at least a 2nd to that deal for Montreal to consider taking on the extra year.
Trade 3 - Again with an unneeded LTIR contract, retaining money and only getting a late pick?! We can get that without retaining, thanks but no thanks.
Trade 4 - This is actually the type of trade that makes sense, even though we don't need another winger (unless we move one) we get a good pick to take an expiring contract.
Trade 5 - Armia for Zaitzev is a wash skill wise but since we are taking on 1 mil more cap hit I would expect a 3rd back and not a 4th without giving up a pick. Especially since Zaitzev will be a healthy scratch that costs 4.5 Mil
Trade 6 - Wow Monahan for an AHL goalie and a 2nd?! That's just a flat out no thanks. I can't even say anything nice about it.
Trade 7 - Have no use for Engvall, since we haven't made any of the other trades you proposed and he is not better than Evans so even if we did make that trade he would be either 4C or press box fodder.
Just one more note here, When was the last time a team made 7 trades swapping 13 players at one TDL? I just don't see this being very realistic, I think the max number of moves we see is 3 or 4. I also don't see us moving all 3 of Hoffman, Drouin or Dadonov. Moves I see being made at the TDL are one of Drouin or Dadonov (retained for picks), Armia and one of Savard or Edmundson. Outside of those and maybe another small move I don't see too much movement at the TDL.
