Why would Montreal do this? EDM needs to ad at least 2 1st rd picks.

This doesn't really help either team.

Why would Edmonton take armia. That cancels out shipping out Campbell

Technically no that not because Edmonton save a big of money and years on Armia vs Campbell.

If you add a first for Edmonton and change foegle to a prospect it might be a good deal for the habs

Foegle could be an asset use to acquire pick or prospect at deadline as he's have one year left to is contract but Campbell contract is to much.
Kent Hughes would want to move some money out or acquire trade like Monahan, one year deal that cost money ( Matt Murray for exemple) for a pick.

While I don't really like Armia, he's on an two years contract and 3.4m cap space per years. And Campbell is a fourth year deal on 5m.

Also oiler don't have there first round pick in 2023 so would Kent Hughes want the 2024 and a prospect like Xavier Bourgault for taking the cap dump ? While could be interesting I don't take it worth it to gain so much money when you will need the space in the near future. (Dubois if that happen, other young guys like Dach and the defense prospect will be to resign during this 3/4 years gap )

I don’t see Montreal accepting this and Edmonton doesn’t need Armia
