How did you pick the one goalie (out of 4 goalies) Montreal values and wouldn't want to give away for basically free?
Francouz is a huge drag on Montreal's cap gymnastics because they can't waive him if he's on IR and he's not a permanent LTIR player. They'd have to use off-season LTIR and they've spent most of the summer making moves to avoid that outcome. Meyers is fine, but he's basically a younger, cheaper Evans and Montreal doesn't really benefit from the swap.
Like, if that's the basis of a trade then Montreal would want Colorado to add a 1st or 2nd because the rest of deal messes up what Montreal is trying to do.
And there are SO MANY easier, cheaper and less complicated ways for Colorado to get temporary goalie depth.
