Big offseason - just for my own enjoyment

Team: 2021-22 Montreal Canadiens

Description
Don't take this too seriously, it's just for my own enjoyment. People on this site are ****ing brutal sometimes, and I'm just trying to have fun here.

Buffalo Trade:
This trade doesn't have to be made with Buffalo, I just want to get Chiarot off the team and a 3rd would be an acceptable return for him.

Detroit trade: Cap dump obviously, I'd be fine taking an even later pick from Detroit.

Colorado trade: This is a little complicated, it's a three-way trade with Seattle

COL gets: Drouin
MTL gets: Toews
SEA gets: 2nd

I get that Colorado would obviously rather have Toews than Drouin, but the fact remains that they're currently poised to lose a top defenseman for nothing. The 2nd round pick going to Seattle ensures that they pick whichever player Colorado wants them to pick. Byram can replace Toews in their top 4.

Rangers trade: The most unrealistic one of the bunch, but it makes a little sense. After offer-sheeting Pettersson, MTL can afford to trade Suzuki. NYR need a top 6 centre for the future and now, and can afford to part with Laf (for now) since they're stacked on the wings.

I get these are for fun, but 3 things.

1) As others have said, these are off.

2) Wild aren't the team to trade Kulak to, we have zero need for the guy.

3) Rags aren't giving up Laf, not even for Suzuki. My suggestion would be to target Kaako instead, that's a trade they'd be likely willing to consider.

my enjoyment would be if Montreal fans would stop trading Drouin to the Avs every time they are losing
Seriously Drouin for Toews....even as a fun enjoyment trade that is beyond unreasonable offer for Toews

and news flash they are not losing Toews in the Draft and Graves is not a Top Dman so Seattle can have him

I get your point, but at this moment, Colorado wld protect 4 D. My guess is Graves would be the one left out... No chance they lose Toews who has pretty much been their #1 overall D.

Why will no one listen. COL is protecting Toews because Johnson waives or is bought out and COL is ok with losing Graves, and for about the 10 millionth time COL has zero interest in Drouin he isn’t worth his contract and sure as hell COL is not trading Toews and his almost 25 minutes of ice time. Ridiculous. The NHL better enjoy watching Makar, Toews, Girard and Byram as COL’s top 4 for at least the next 3 seasons because short of injury they aren’t going anywhere.

dont think they are brutal at all, it comes with the territory. If you post lopsided trades and just put the label this is for my fun only, you are going to get dunked on regardless.
Especially if you add descriptions behind the trades that dont make any sense for the other teams, open yourself up to commented on

Exactly...

And hey, I at least offered a constructive suggestion in my reply as well.

So, 🤷‍♂️!
