Would be an all in move by Winnipeg but youd have to take Perreault/Kulikov/Lowry back for cap.

oh yes 1 second

Winnipeg counters with Stanley, Roslovic, Kulikov, Perreault, 2020 1st (Maybe another conditional pick based on playoff performance) for Petry and Danault

What's the point of those trades for Mtl? I think Petry, Danault and others are worth more alone than in a package... They each could fetch good return at the TDL if the Habs would decide on moving them...

I mean Vesalainen is a pretty damn good prospect.
Adding to the Habs already stacked prospect pool
Not too sure if Stanley has NHL potential but the guy looks like a tank on skates

Stanley had a good year in the AHL. he's a bit of a project but is on pace to develop into a decent NHLer IMO

Neither of these trades really help Montreal in fact I'd argue trading 2 of your best penalty killers, one of your best goal scorers and the second best defenceman on your roster for 4 players who may never be as good, a more expensive version of Paul Byron, and an overpayed 3rd pairing D who can't contribute offensively is a bad idea.

Montreal is close to being a serious contender, detonating the core for the sake of it won't help the team.

I agree. I'd like to think that Petry can get a 1st plus a solid prospect or even an A prospect and a second. Danault, after the season he just had, is too valuable for the Habs to want to trade. Plus being only 26 years old he is still really young. I think the Habs can make deals without necessarily having to acquire cap dumps to get nice prizes. Unless, along with a solid return already in place, they acquire cap dumps to get more prizes with it.
