Remember, this is MY armchair GM. I would not hinder Anderson's or anyone's development for short term success.
Next years first for Montreal is after Price's extension kicks in, less cap space for a roster that isn't really finished, I don't think that's a top 10 team in the NHL.
EDM is among the nhl's worst in goal differential, it is well known that SHER-EL-E is shopping for scoring help on the wing. He has made dumb moves before, I believe he would do it again.
McDonagh though, yes is a #1 D-man, he is only signed for 2 more seasons, where he could just walk, you aren't getting a young superstar in return. Remember this is MY armchair GM.
"hey if I were NYR, I would do this"
"they wouldn't do that!"
"what? we aren't talking about what they would do"
"THEEYYYY WOULLDDNNNTTTT DOOOO THAAAAAAAATTTT"
"uggghhhh"
