Wouldn't make the first trade, Harris > rental meh and a 3rd in 2 more seasons.
Gonna think Hughes will stick to a hardline for a 1st minimum for Monahan at this rate, could change though if he slows down/gets injured.
Don't mind that EDM trade, Campbell sucks and so does his contract but bury or buyout would be fine.
The last two don't add any value to MTL though, the retention slot alone would be better used elsewhere imo. Pretty sure we received a 5th for ~1 mil retention last TDL as third party, here we're sending the player as well not as third party. If he's healthy at the tdl I would expect slightly more than a 5th for Pearson retained. It would be more valuable to attach the retention to Monahan for less money than it would be for Pearson. Taking a worse/larger/cap dump contract back in a Pearson deal + sweetener(s) makes more sense.
Evans should remain our 4C until he retires barring an overpay imo, selling him for an insulting 5th would be a poor decision.
