Honestly. Change the EDM 1st to a 2nd in 2023 and this deal gets done I feel.
I am thinking that deal simply misses the mark..... Barrie and a mid round pick for Edmundson is ballpark. Poolparty's value is almost zero right now as he is hinting at going back.to Europe.

No to Kassian. He already came to Montreal and the Tree he assaulted will never be the same.
Kassian is a different person since his first go around in a Habs jersey. Frankly, this deal makes sense. Hughes gets out of a bad contract a year early, Yotes get picks and an extra year of Armia, who is similar.to Kassian.
That New Jersey deal is a beautiful example of how the Habs can weaponize cap space at the deadline. It works, and it is something the Devils may entertain......
The Dallas deal has some merit as well. I beleive asking for a 1st there maybe too much, but again, weaponizing cap space. Monahan has found a way to.postive value, Dadanov has not. Think that 1st should be a 2nd...... Dadanov just doesn't have the value over Gurianov.
Overall...... may not be a Habs fan, but the way this ACGM works the cap is brilliant. Does it happen? Maybe not. But this is one of the best thought processes involving the Habs I have seen in months.
