Why would Detroit not want a player who has scored 20 goals three times over the last four seasons (prorated), skates like the wind, kills penalties and is a locker-room leader? I find it strange that Byron is this underappreciated.

I wouldn't do this deal from Montreal's perspective as I don't think the value is there for Byron. Montreal's cap situation is not so dire that they need to move Byron at all costs so if there is no appreciation for what he does the Habs should keep him. If you remove him from the deal its seems closer to fair value as I don't think Weal has any value, but the Habs could also just bury most of Weal's contract if need be so it's not a necessity.

Thank you for both your input.

I guess, I value Byron higher than you guys do. I would prefer Byron stay with the Habs, his speed and shot are great assets that I think many teams would appreciate. He's a great depth player and penalty killer. However our recent signings have made our cap a bit tight and he has lost his spot on the "3rd" line in my opinion.

I saw this as two combined trades:
- Byron for Erne, where Byron had more value and we should probably receive a pick as well to compensate.
- Veleno for a pick which probably should be a 2nd as he was picked almost at the end of the first and his progression has been a bit underwhelming thus far.

I thought this gave Detroit a bit more speed and scoring right now and gave Montreal some cap relief, size and a hometown boy.

Thanks,

G
