Jackets give that proposal zero consideration.

We would want a quality for quality swap. We need top end talent not middling talent.

Usually KJ to MTL proposals include at least the WPG 1st-round pick, those still quickly get shot down.

2024 MTL 1st, Slaf, Suzuki, or Reinbacher. If one of those isn't included in a deal for KJ, there's no deal. Rightfully, Montreal doesn't entertain that, so there's really no point in discussing it.

Don't see CBJ doing that.

And we aren't in a situation for adding a player like Pesce (because of Mailloux and Reinbacher)

Habs fans around here have largely gotten the message that we're not sending them KJ for spare parts; while I'm not a Habs fan myself and can't really speak for them, I feel pretty safe in presuming that they don't need Leafs fans stepping up to fill that particular void on their behalf.
