Habs say no, just because they can't retain that long on Anderson.

They likely only retain going into his last year of the deal and see what they get the.

Calgary gave HABS a 1st and Monahan to take on $6M cap. Not only do you want use to take $7M+ of cap and Evans you are only giving us a 2nd and more cap. Doesn`t make sense

the trade needs to be a 1st, a 2rd and McLeod to make any sense only because those picks are late in those rounds

CHI could be interested in something along those lines.

Habs fans would probably want Bouchard for Anderson

Mcdavid actually

That would be a yes from the Hawks. Adding a 1st and a middle 6 winger prospect with some size would check off two things the Hawks would like. My ask would be to swap out Kulak for a RHD (one that is actually a right shot) like Ceci, Stecher, or Desharnais.

UR TELLING me a possible 1rst and u can trade mcleod for more is bad

This is crazy. A 1st ++ for a third pairing defenseman? McLeod and a potential 1st for Josh ****ing Anderson and a downgrade at C??

Every non bias fan and gms in the league would call evans a upgrade he has a 2 way game wins draws and does it all compared to mcleod. Guy was literally mcdavids winger last yr and hanst even hit more the 30pts

Also its if he scores 20 goals thats good value

A late first for 3 yrs of a cheap anderson who would thrive with playmakers in edm
Retainment cost bud murphy better then kulak and ceci

McLeod has never spent significant time with McDavid, that's a complete fabrication.

He's also better offensively and defensively than Evans. He's bigger, younger and faster. There's zero upside here, so Edmonton declines. As with your other crazy trade spending a 1st+ for a 3rd pairing defenseman, lol.

Be careful about baldly asserting things like "was literally McDavid's winger last year" without any factual basis for doing so, because when you get caught out by people far more knowledgeable about their team than you are, like @CD282, you look foolish and your opinions appear untrustworthy.

Similarly, overbroad pontifications like "Every non-biased fan and GM in the League" would have the same opinion on any issue short of "McDavid is better than DuBois" is risky and again calls your judgment into question when people like me point out that other than the modest difference in faceoff-win percentage, Evans has virtually no metric superior to McLeod; even Evans' extra 3/4 of a minute's time on ice simply renders McLeod's slightly better offensive production (including shooting percentage) more significant.
