Why montreal would consider that trade? If buffalo aren’t trading their first pick of this year draft it’s not even worth making a call for him. Montreal are looking to get younger and better on defense this isn’t the ways to achieve it

Washington doesn't have Holtby's rights, he's a UFA

They Still have his rights until July 1st when he’s a free agent. They can trade it to a team before ufa so they get a shot of singing him early

True, but they are very uncommon

Kevin Hayes is the recent example, usually good for one of these an offseason
