-No reason for either team to do this honestly. Vancouver -should- wait til the summer to move Boeser, when more teams that could use him will have the cap space available to absorb his deal. Vancouver will get better than a pair of expiring deals and a mid-tier prospect at that point. And for Montreal - well, Dadonov has minimal value, sure, but Monahan is one of your better trade chips. Don't you all keep telling us he's worth a 1st rounder, at least? Why would you move him for a similarly paid & similarly aged winger instead of for a good package of futures?
-Anaheim is gonna need more to eat that contract for you. That team has a lot of problems right now, but I'd argue that one of the biggest is defensively - they've allowed 9 more goals than the next worst team in that category(LA) despite playing 2 less games to date than the Kings. I don't think Mike Hoffman really helps in that department at all, so if you're asking the Ducks to add $3M to this year's payroll and $4.5M to next year's for a player that doesn't really make them better, well...I think you're going to have to offer more than a move up from the early 6th round to the late 4th round (right now would be moving from #157 to about #125)
