Ew, that Josh Anderson contract probably needs a pick attached to it, not the other way around. I'm not going anywhere near that unless we are entering a full rebuild and are seeking picks.

You are asking for too much from NJ.

No comment on the Vegas one. They'll trade anyone! But Hertl does have an NMC, so it may not be possible.

Now now! If he wants Anderson with no retention I say let him take Anderson with no retention.

Deal, Habs accept

Thankfully that won’t be something that Don Sweeney considers

I don’t understand giving that much for Hertl.

You are giving up a better prospect than they did and a similar pick without getting the two high third rounders back while also decreasing the outside chance of securing Hanifin.

I’d consider Lysell and a 2nd or a first and Merkulov or Beecher.

The only reason that Vegas would be trading him is they have a cap crunch. Otherwise, I think he’s there to stay
