Trades

MTL

Additional Details:

Graves is such a bad contract that the honest return for this trade would be Harris and a 2nd. Id do that just so the Habs can retain 50% on Guentzel and flip him

PIT

Harris, Jordan
Roy, Joshua
2024 1st round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

This trade makes no sense for the Habs. Graves is an Anderson level cap dump. Guentzel is 29 and due a massive pay raise.

Buyouts

1) The source is a nothing source.
2) Graves is not even in the realm of Josh Anderson. Graves is a good dman who's a poor fit on this team. I'm not saying he has big value, but he's not even close to Anderson lol.
3) The entire return is barely enough for Jake.

I could also say Anderson is a good forward but a poor fit on this team. Bad is bad. A team isnt gonna eat a 5 year deal on a maybe he fits the team

Yeah, but Graves actually has a proven consistent history. Anderson does not.

Anderson has a 27 goal season and was scoring at a 20 goal rate all 3 habs seasons before this one.
