Devils trade: Hell no for many reasons. We don't need more RHDs, we have a bajillion. We're not trading Leddy or Bailey within the division. Zacha hasn't shown anything in the NHL worth trading significant assets for.

Bruins trade: Don't really see a point. I'd rather waive Johnston and send him to the minors. The organization seems to love him. A 5th round pick provides no value and it's not like trading Johnston will bring us any big cap savings.

Canadiens trade: Horrible value for NYI. I'd rather keep Beau and hope he becomes consistent than trade him away for a couple of middle-6 forwards. We should be moving picks and prospects so we can add to the team, not swap players for players (unless it's bad for good, obviously).

I don't see Paul Byron as a top-6 F, so there isn't a need to trade for his $3.4 x 4 contract and give up a good prospect in Beau (who is better than Lehkonen) and an expiring deal in Matt Martin. The picks make the deal even less tolerable.

While Leddy should be traded, it won't be for another D. It's a parallel move. Isles need legit top-6 F (not Byron lol) for Leddy. And in fact, they are actually giving one up in this trade with Bailey. No sense for the Isles to make this trade
