Okay lets break down the Habs trade
Matheson is worth at minimum a 1st rounder
Allen could probably get a late round pick
Armia cap dump could cost a late 2nd or early 3rd and a prospect like Vrbetic
Lorentz is probably an AHL for the Habs, but takes a roster spot so not worth it
Vlasic makes 7m for 3 more years. Thats at minimum 2 1st rounders to eat that (Monahan cost 1st rounder and he was 6m for only 1 year)
So the Sharks would have to give up the value of 3 extra 1st rounders to make the Habs even look at it
Only way I see this ever happening
Allen, Jake
Armia, Joel
Matheson, Michael
Vrbetic, Joe
2024 2nd
for
Lorentz, Steven
Vlasic, Marc-Édouard
2023 1st SJS (Either 3rd, 4th or 5th overall)
or
Lorentz, Steven
Vlasic, Marc-Édouard
2023 1st (NJD)
2024 1st (top 5 protected, Sharks have a choice to send pick or make it 2025 1st unprotected)
2025 1st (top 5 protected, Sharks have a choice to send pick or make it 2026 1st unprotected)
