Hamilton isn't waiving for Utah

you traded WHAT for an injury prone aging defensemen making 9m for 4 more years?

That’s a cool offer but that isn’t getting both Zegras and Zellweger

Two busts, a 3rd line player, and while 5OA is included, this offer is insufficient.

We've been telling Habs fans it'll take their first + Back +Kovacevic for Zegras alone, so let's say that's equivalent to McBain + Soderstrom + 5OA

We're not selling Zellweger for Hayton plus two mid picks.

Barrett Hayton has never fulfilled his draft position, is coming off an injury-shortened season and has a Qualifying Offer of $2,130,000. He has very little trade value at this point, and that's before we even start discussing where he's going to play with Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish occupying the top 2 center positions.

I don't think either Z is on the market, but if Trevor Zegras is, I would accept McBain plus Soderstrom plus the 5 - 7 overall pick for him. (Note that Arizona is guaranteed the tiebreaker over both Montreal and Ottawa, who play each other and therefore are odds-on to move the loser in front of the Coyotes.)
