Description

As per the comments by Friedman, OEL's future is in serious question with Arizona.

Should MTL be targeting him? We've wanted a top LD to pair with Weber for some while now. However, I don't quite know how to make the cap hit work or what to give in exchange to entice Arizona -- I'd imagine they want younger assets and picks?

If I'm Arizona, it starts with Caufield or Romanov.

He is signed long term and is a better defenceman than Krug who everybody is crazy about.

I would stay away from OEL. He's already showing a drop-off in his game and is only just starting a very long, expensive extension.

the price for OEL is going to be substantially more than that. I dont think montreal wants any part of that contract and this deal doesnt help them address any of there issues. Romanov will be on the roster next year Kulak looked much better in the playoffs, they have options internally to fill out their d-core. They need to be using their cap space on a big, scoring winger.

Too much term left... and at $8M + cap hit
Habs would be better off extending Petry for 3 or 4 years max at ~ $6M per. And hope Romanov can play top 4 minutes ASAP (maybe only in his 2nd season)

His time in Arizona may be done because he signed a huge extension and immediately made Arizona regret it. A change of scenery may help, but MTL may not be the place for him
