Or since the Habs have the cap space and don't need to move Anderson, we keep everything

That Mtl trade is useless. If they absolutely want to get rid of Anderson then they will bought him out. Xhekaj is not getting traded for piece who doesn’t improve MTL top 6.

You could've stopped there.

1. Absolutely pass on the MTL deal, the penguins don't need a pylon in Anderson.
2. EK isn't going anywhere, and Josh Norris is wildly injury prone (unfortunately) so pass. Plus, depending on the severity of Letang's surgery you can't move EK.
3. Avs don't do that.
4. DOC isn't a 1st line winger.
5. That goalie combo ain't it.

What a ridiculous trade for montreal, incredibly bad.
Congrats

I think Xhekaj could be traded, but the return would need to be substantial. A player that would have a immediate impact up front, under 25 with size. I would say a player similar to Boldy would be a starting point. Anything less wouldn’t be judicious to trade Arber.

ott has no interest in ek, they decline

COL could maybe move Manson but they sure as heck aren’t bringing back a guy that isn’t as good and makes as much money. Easy no.

Habs definitely decline

my impressions were that anderson had just had some injury and personal struggles and needed a fresh start...

any idea what letang injury could be? he played through it for most of the year.... my guess is lower body, if i have to be specific i say an ankle... he didn't seem quite as explosive in his stride and turning side to side didn't seem smooth for him...

doc is a middle-6 guy for now, but we both know Sid has played with those guys most of his career so he's probably on the top line next year unless we have someone better...

if blomqvist is for real, he could solve all the goalie problems

Avs decline.
