You have to retain on Price for anyone to tradd for him

I’m not sure NSH really needs to add Chiarot, but that’s a fair price I could see them accepting.

In this trade i imagine they would retain some of the salary for sure. no one will take this 10.5 contract.

There’s a thing called the cap that puts the Avs a solid $2+M over the cap

I can't see us being interested in Jeff Petry at the trade deadline unless one of Jamie Drysdale, Josh Manson or Kevin Shattenkirk was on the LTIR list, or we got an offer for Manson that we couldn't refuse. The offer is reasonably fair, though, despite the fact that I love Groulx.

Definitely a no from the habs on the chiarot trade, same for the drouin trade (habs better keep up until next year deadline for this return), for a team that will have a 99.9% chance of winning the cup with price in net that's sure a hell of a steal for EDM and it'll take their to prospect and the first and more for the salary coming back... sending a QC player don't mean he has extra value this stereotype is not true in real life, same goes to the petry trade... start with your top D prospect and not some mediocre QC native and a young bottem pair LD which the habs are literally loaded with.

Basically habs lose evey single trade BIG TIME, and not a single piece coming back other than the 1st rnd and 2nd round picks will ever have an impact in their lineup and they give up 2 core pieces and a top 6 F and the top D in the trade deadline, c'mon

A top contender who care about a cup now and less about the future will give up an arm and a leg for price, he will almost guarantee a cup to a top team
