Oilers accept

MTL accept if you remove Olofsson. You can't cap dump Russell and switch prospects, if you want a second player to come your way it'd be an AHLer at best like Pezzeta.

Rangers laugh at your offer

MTL accept (well has an habs fan I would )
Edit : I just saw 4m and 2 year remaining on Russel's contract...It will need a bit more but I like the idea

Add Marody or Bear to the Ranger deal.

MTL says no to any right hand defense. Why would it freeze 8 millions on a 3rd pair player?

This is more a cap dump than anything else. I dont care about the player (Russel we can scratch him) it is more the possible assest that come with it.

Well you should care because MTL cant affort to have 17 millions on right defence alone with Domi and Mete to sign next year.

As a Montreal fan, I don't accept to pic the contract of Kris Russell (4 millions the next 2 years), We have the sympatic contract of Alzner, it's enough!!!....For Hudon, I will be happy for him if he could be trade and have his place in Edmonton because the coach don't like him in Montreal.

Lets say we take Russel contract (4m) that leaves us with 2m cap space with a 23 player roster. Lets say the cap goes up 2m next year (makes 4m space) the Weise contract is gonne after this season so does Peca (2,3m +1,3m) (3,6+4 = 7,6m). + the mason buyout is done after this season (+1,3m) and we can replace Kinkaid by Primeau or Lindgren (800 000). We could have around 9m for domi and Mete without any trade. That not bad. The summer of 2021 will be THE year we need cap space with Gally-Danault-Tatar-KK-Poehling extansions ! I agree with you his contract his bad but if we get a good asset back ?
