Here would be a better idea:
Montreal trades Plekanec to Az while retaining 3,000,000 for a 2019 2nd round pick. That’s all for that trade.
Then AZ trades Plekanec (1,500,000 retained), Luke Schenn, Brad Richardson to the pens for a 2019 1st round pick, J.S Dea, And Carl Hagelin.
AZ trades Hagelin (2,000,000 retained) for a 2018 2nd round pick to whoever wants a speedy winger.
Montreal gets probably more for plekanec than they would anywhere else and don’t have to take 2 worthless contracts that are worth maybe 5th round picks at best. AZ would essentially get 2 2nds and a 1st and a prospect for Plekanec and a couple of useless contracts while also making it a little easier to reach the cap floor next year.
