A lot of these trades are big risks.

Greenway is basically a bigger version of Brock McGinn, might as well keep him if you're going to bring in the same type of player.

Rasmussen has been good this year but has been awful every other year of his career. Given the state of the team, it makes no sense to take on a high-risk player like him. Plus you have the Pens taking on Nedeljkovic's contract which has negative value. If we're being honest here, the Pens should be receiving a 2nd round pick from Detroit to take on that contract.

McCabe falls into the same boat as Rasmussen. He's been decent this year but has struggled for the majority of his career overall. Too risky of a move considering the price needed to acquire him.

Gadjovich and Boeser straight up suck and aren't needed.

Thread: Id Feel a Ton Better - IF - We Did This
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Dvorak literally had his best PPG season this year in Montreal and was on the worst Habs team in their history of the modern era. This is the first year he's been injured for a significant amount of time since 18-19 so I wouldn't say injury prone. The prior 2 seasons were cut short from covid, not from injury.

Either the Habs get what they need in trading him or they keep him. Its that simple. They know what they got in him and he is not a cap dump in the slightest. Armia? Absolutely cap dump. Hoffman &amp; Drouin? Yep probably cap dumps at this time too. Dvorak? Not even close. Habs have no problem holding on to him if other teams think he is a cap dump.</div></div>

I think teams are better off staying away. Would imagine contenders have a better use for their assets and 4.5 mil in cap space than to target a forward that has never scored 20 goals in a season, or even put up 40 points in a season.
