Quoting: SomeonesOffended
That is true if traded on the TDL he only plays 14 regular season games, honestly I wouldn’t have a problem paying Hollander and a 1st for him retained, I do see your point though if the offers aren’t there why over pay
to me, this is the issue for MTL
1. If you're trading him, its a last second decision towards the deadline as you try to make your way back into the playoffs (assuming this plummet continues)
2. At that point, he'd have to quarantine for any US team and would play ~10 games for that team, so they won't give you the return you want
3. Of the Canadian teams, realistically only TOR and EDM (MAYBE Calgary but I doubt with the way they're playing that they'd sell the farm for a rental) would need him.
4. Danault has sucked this year
So his value is not gonna be nearly what they might have got for him last year, which seems to be how everybody is valuing him
