Habs pass on the Carolina trade, neither team would do it of course but I'm a Habs fan so gonna speak from their perspective

Habs also pass on the Rangers trade

No way we get that kind of return on Pearson

Uh, I dont know about that. What do you think Kakko's value is?

I don't think Montreal would want Kotkaniemi back. Rangers decline (need C or RW more than D) and in what world does Pearson get a 3rd round pick.

If you're a Ranger fan and watch games but don't know his value, I can't help you.

All this says to me is you dont know his value or whatever fantasy you created in your mind is too embarrassing to post.

LOL. Yeah, ok and you think he is worth a 7th D plus a 3rd round pick.

Considering I believe that he has a late 1st round value right now... would I take that trade as is, no. Would I scoff at it, no but Id be very interested if Xhekaj was available and tried to get more out of it for Kakko.

Youre being incredibly short sighted here. Were looking at a situation right now where we need to resign Lindgren. A guy who has played more than 63 games once in 5 years, hes only getting older and his body has already taken quite the toll. Am I prepared to live life without Lindy in the lineup with these guys, not really, but its something to think about moving forward. Xhekaj is exactly the kind of guy we would need and want if we were to move on from Lindy.

Im sure it will all fall on deaf ears but thats my stance on Xhekaj.

The Flyers aren't buying, it has been confirmed by the coach, GM and president of the team. If they add anyone it will be a young player with term or control.

trading kakko at a low during the season would be such a mistake. So i would expect drury to get minimal value for him
