Phase 1 Habs rebuild - TDL

Boston has little use for Kulak.

Couple of issues here for me

1. Kassian was ran out of Montreal, I seriously doubt they consider taking him back.

2. Perault should get a 4th or 5th so only slightly beet than the offer here.

3. This is the major one for me, you are taking 6.9 mil cap and o ly receiving 2 4ths for it. That 6.9 could be used to bring in a major young guy on a multi year deal. S9 unless we are getting 2 2nds then I wouldn't retain that much.

According to every person on this site, no team has any use for any player, ever........ unless you can see the future, you have no idea if you'll have a use or not for a player in 3 months from now at the TDL. Injuries happen and depth players are added like this specifically for that.

1: Who cares? That was MB's problem. Kassian isn't brought in to be a player we want. Just a player to fascilitate the trade.

2: Not gonna lose sleep over pennies. 4th, 5th 7th, who cares. Its not gonna make or break anything.

3: 6.9M in cap? Its 1.7M for Kessel and 1.7M for Fleury. Cap yes but very little in actual cash and it only for the TDL. Its for like 2 months of the cap that we won't be using anyway. Zero risk, all the gain. They're both UFA's.

1. Why take a problem player back after getting rid of him it just disrupts the locker room, especially for the younger guys.

2. Near sightedness was also MB's problem, those 4th and 5ths might not look like much but could still wind up being a Gallagher type of steal. Taking a loss on mid to late round picks could mean missing on hidden gems.

3. My bad I was thinking we did the first retention
