No chance the habs do that.

CBJ pass. Tex is a valuable M6 guy who could likely fetch a 1st were he moved, and we need a mid-pair LD, not RD.

Florida passes, They don't have $6,000,000 for Blake Wheeler.

Habs pass.
• Anderson has a M-NTC, which could prevent him from being included in this deal (and probably would if WPG decides to blow things up).
• Barron is not available, as he's one of the two current RHD the Habs are gonna build around.
• The overall value on that trade is a lot more than what the Habs are willing to pay.

OP, google Texier’s situation. There is no chance Columbus waited patiently and supportively for him to work through personal tragedies in Europe for almost two years to turn around and just flippantly trade him away for nothing.

Maybe you should realize that anyone with a NTC doesnt waive for Winnipeg when 95% of players have them on their lists. Anderson especially isnt waiving for Winterpeg

Habs aren’t moving Barron with the lack of RHD in their organization

Not only does Anderaon have a NTC, but the Habs also declined a first for him. So that's Barron(a 1st round pick rhd), a 2023 first, and a player worth more to the Habs than a first. So it's an easy pass.
