Petry isn't a negative asset. That's insane. Also, you're way overvaluing Allen. Also, G gets a way better offer.

I dont know, I think the habs have to give up assets to get rid of the cap hit. Also, on the Allen side, he has proved to be a very good goaltender in the NHL and there would be a few teams competing to aquire him. I listed this as the return because I don’t think he gets traded for less. If that offer or better is not on the table, we are very happy to keep him

Holloway is a major asset. Allen is not the solution in EDM for that value.

Edmonton does not give up Holloway to swap a year of back up Mike Smith for back up Allen.

And Arizona is definately not trading the Habs a pick to relieve Montreal of the Weber contract. That idea is laughable.

He is, but couple Allen with another goaltender and you now have a solid back end. Mike Smith, realistically, is done. Allen is 9 years younger than smith, providing a solid backbone to the team.

The Weber thing is interesting. Right now, Weber is on LTIR so his contract does nothing on the habs. Arizona is going to have a hard time getting up to the cap floor next year. The reason Weber fits here is as follows: he is only getting paid 6 million over the next four years for an AAV of 7.8M per year. This means that if he is on the roster, he brings up the cap by 7.8M, but Arizona only has to pay 1.5M on average to get that. Secondly, because Weber is injured and will not be returning to the NHL, if the Coyotes ever needed the cap space that he has, they could simply place him on LTIR

They just picked up little from Winnipeg, they don’t need or want 4 years of his cap hit let alone pay Montreal for it

I think the owner would be smart to take Webers contract. It's real money vs cap hit, they are going to be suffering even more financially with fewer seats and renovation costs. Webers contract allows them to take up a big chunk of cap space but really pay any money to him. His contract is the only one left that does that.

Petry was linked to Norris talks 10 months ago and he isn't bad this season because of his age, simply doesn't put the effort into it because his life's (family) a mess now. We'll get assets for him but will also likely have to bring back some cap back.

Not arguing that. Coyotes have done that multiple times.

What I am saying is thee is zero chance Montreal gets an asset to dump Weber's contract on them. Freeing up $10.5 million (Little) cost the Jets a good prospect in Nathan Smith. Montreal owes Weber over $31 million. So, what is 3x better than a Nathan Smith?
