If MTL were to trade Xhekaj, it would never be to Toronto.

Remove Xhekaj and MTL still declines.

COMP-L-ETE-LY MISSIED

There I fixed the title of your thread to more accurately describe how likely Montreal is to taking that deal.

Even if Seattle was considering trading Larsson (which they are not), this offer isn't close to being enticing. Trading him would signal the Kraken are punting on the season, so Brodie has zero value to them outside of being cap ballast. Beyond that, a late first round pick and an OK but not great prospect in Hirvonen doesn't move the needle nearly enough.

Based on the experiment I did with Rempe, habs easily decline

Those parts don't even get you a Xhekaj's autograph
