If Anderson has such negative trade value why did you deploy him RW1...?

Hawks decline. Hawks are far from ready to give up on Reichel. He has more upside than Holloway at this point.

+1 x1000

That. Exactly that.

Yeah. Way more upside. Holloway is an interesting player, but a lot of the hype around him is manufactured, and then the hype really took off when he scored a hat trick in a preseason game last season. He isn't really "all that", though.

There's no cap dump scenario for Anderson simply because Montreal has no need to dump cap.
That means Anderson and Campbell cannot have roughly equal value to Montreal.
From Montreal's perspective, you have to offer positive value to acquire Anderson and significant value to dump Campbell.
Treat those as two separate trades. Even if it's only a 7th for Anderson, it's still roughly a 1st and valuable prospect to move Campbell.

Remove the retention on Allen, Anderson, and Kovacevic from this proposal, and you're still short at least a 5th round pick and that's only if Montreal really likes Bourgault and Lavoie.
Montreal's not the right team to take Campbell. Even if they move Allen he'd still be in the minors to give Primeau NHL time.
You want a partner that at least has a vacancy in goal on the NHL roster for a couple of years and isn't projecting to be a playoff team during Campbell's contract.

Habs better off keeping Anderson ….

oilers are better off staying as far away from anderson as they can. He is as bad as campbell, and his buyout caphit is higher. Once the oilers move on from campbell, its either going to be by adding a sweetner to get rid of all the cap, or just buying him out. I think Holloway has a higher ceiling than riechel, its hard to produce when you're playing 7 mins a night with derek ryan and erne like how he was. I think knoblauch will give him a chance on the wing with leon and we'll see him play well. And ceci is better at playing defense than dumba is, either get a real upgrade or just stick with ceci.

Interesting idea from AZ perspective, but they'd have to move out Dumba to do that, I think.
