I understand your logic behind the Pens trade, paying first take Kapanen and retain, but Hextall won't be doing that, nor do I think he should.

I do think the EDM trade is a good one.

As far as Armia goes, my man, nobody is taking him. MTL will have to pay teams to take him.

I agree and will take this further, why would Montreal trade him for Faska and khudobin anyway? We can simply keep the extra 2 mil cap space and Armia and bring Beck in to finish the year at 3C and leave Evans at 4C.

Yeah. I have to agree there. MTL has just begun their rebuild. They don't need moves like that. Hughes is showing patience and doesn't seem to feel any real pressure to force any moves.
