Description
Trade Explanations :


Galchenyuk + Overpayment for MacKinnon, who is just an incredible talent and would excel with Drouin on his wing. Habs would finally have a stable center. Colorado will get a young center with high ceilling in Galchenyuk, plus alot of prospects and picks, such as the talented Noah Juulsen, who I think could be one day a top 4, if not a top pairing defenseman with the right development.



Gallagher traded to Pittsburgh, who seems to be trying to move Kessel for a good return. Gallagher would fit perfectly in the Pens lineup, pairing up with Crosby on that first line. Pittsburgh would also get cap relief, with the cap friendly contract Gallagher has, and a decent 3rd line center in Plekanec with a 50% retained cap. The 2nd round pick they give away is because of the risk Kessel could be for the Habs, a few years in the future.

Finally, Habs sign Stéphane Da Costa for 2 years (don't sign players from the KHL for only 1 year, you know what happens then).

Sign Josh Brook and Cale Fleury on Entry level contract.

I like this, I'm not sure Colorado would do it...cause Sakic. Leaves the cupboard even more bare on prospects, but you get a star C who played with Drouin in the Q. Not sure the Kessel trade would happen, but I think it's fair.
