Trades

MTL

Salminen, Samu [Reserve List]
2025 3rd round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

Montreal could look to get a prospect that isn't ready to play in the AHL right now but would still have a few years of rights left. That's where Salminen comes into play, his less than conventionnal route to the NHL makes his rights expire in the summer of 2026, he's a big size center that over performed in his first NCAA year (and NA size ice) after killing it in the U20 Jokerit program, a smart player with good hands but skating issues.
Bonus he plays 88 miles away from Boston and we know Kent loves his Boston area guys, plus they've played three times against BU (Lane Hutson) so it's likely some pro scouts saw him play already.

NJD

Petry, Jeff ($2,300,000 retained)
2024 7th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

The only non-canadian team I see having a fit for Petry are the Devils. Their first pair are racking up points but there could be a nice fit for an offensively minded dman to play on a third pair with Siegenthaler or Bahl.
Option one is keeping Miller as their 7th D and sending Smith on waivers would clear enough money to be cap compliant (600K left).
Option two would be to send Hughes to the minors so he can play top minutes in all situations until there's an injury in Jersey and keep Smith as you 7th D (425K left).
After losing both Severson and Graves I think the Devils might be out looking for some experience and offense to their backend.

MTL

2024 4th round pick (SEA)

SEA

DeSmith, Casey

Additional Details:

Martin Jones replacement? As per Seravelli the Kraken's looking to move on from Driedger and Daccord hasn't showed much in the NHL so bringing an established NHLer to split time with Grubauer sounds like a good idea. Daccord in the AHL to split time with either Kokko or Stezka would be great for their affiliated team!

Your logic is bad. Devils dont need or want Petry. Also how does the cap space work even at 50% the devils dont have room. You are panicking for no reason.

Devils would only trade for Petry if there's an injury at the deadline

Shouldn’t the Habs be paying to move Petry?

SEA declines. Likely Daccord gets the call up after a good run in the AHL as the backup

Good thing you know how to read considering cap management is listed in my only paragraph;
Option one is keeping Miller as their 7th D and sending Smith on waivers would clear enough money to be cap compliant (600K left).
Option two would be to send Hughes to the minors so he can play top minutes in all situations until there's an injury in Jersey and keep Smith as you 7th D (425K left).

By bringing a defender in that means they will send a defender out.

You can't tell me that Petry isn't a better third pairing option than either Smith and Miller. He also gives flexibility by using him on the PP thus reducing the TOI of your top pairing.

Petry at 6.25M$? 100%
Petry at 2.38M$? I think a middle round pick (3rd or 4th) and your 15th best prospect is fair.
