If you're matching the cap, you're giving San Jose better picks/futures than what you have here. I'd assume they'd push for a conditional 1st (whichever is lower out of the two you have), plus a better prospect than Mailloux - someone in your 3-7 range of the top 10, thinking guys in the Barron/Roy/Kidney tier of prospects. As said up thread, I think you have to swap out Dadonov for Hoffman - the Habs have shown some promise and are gelling under MSL, so there's no sense in actively torpedoing the chemistry by making those two guys share a locker room. Gallagher makes sense because the term lines up and San Jose should take on *something* risky for getting a decent pick/prospect combo.
I don't *hate* the idea for the Habs, with a ton of "if"s - if Karlsson waives his NMC, if Price is truly done and can be stashed on LTIR as necessary, if the prospect cost isn't onerous, if San Jose is fine taking back those underwater contracts.
