Trading Marner for EK65 is a very bad idea imo.

San Jose probably wants young assets or picks - not a player that'll leave them in two years.

Every time I see Domi at more than 3M it gives me the chills.

They'll be able to trade him at either deadline for more than they'd dream about getting for Karlsson.

Karlson is softer than butter. SJ ws good before he got there.

Or they can cut out the middle man and trade a 100 point defenseman for his maximum value/a more enticing offer.
He may get a Marner-sized offer in the post season, but probably not at the TDL.

Maybe not, but either way they're still stuck with 18M in retention. If you want all that, you can forget Barabanov, and probably need to add.

Montreal declines, Xhekaj is staying a Hab

probably, but would try to throw in more. love his game

Rangers aren’t interested

He is a fan favorite and is the type of player that you need to get through the playoffs. He may not be a core peice but he plays an important role for the Habs. Also the Habs aren't trading him tithe Leafs cause they don't want to have to face him four times a year for the next 5-10 years and in any playoff series in there too lol

Basically his value to Montreal outweighs his market value

Every time I see Domi period

Montreal laugh in your face

Rangers tell you to get lost and it's time for a new name

Are you serious? Liljegren is 10x better than Xhekaj. 89% War percentile compared to 0%

All while playing vs harder matchups. You take this deal every day of the year and id send an extra pick just because i feel bad at this fleecing
