<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Suzuki_Cup</b></div><div>Habs will not trade Danault, he will stay in MTL. He was our BP during many games this year. Danault has chances to be a Selke finalist in a few years, which Kerfoot probably won't be. A 3rd round pick doesn't close the gap.
Habs also have no reason to do that trade. Why trade our best center for another one? I haven't watched a lot of Kerfoot, but I'm pretty sure that he will never be what Danault is presently.
I understand the trade from the Leafs side, but not on the Habs side.</div></div>

I did make sure that some of the def metrics weren't super one sided. Danault may be a better shooter too which helps but he is also older and has an exp contract so will get paid if he is selke while kerfoot is under better team control and younger albeit not as good right this second.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Andersen was not meaningfully better than Nilsson this year, and the Sens have Marcus Hogberg who is coming off a solid rookie season and is 100% deserving of ome of two NHL jobs. So either you're either swapping Andersen for Nilsson, which is a marginal upgrade at best, or he plays over Hogberg, at which point you probably lose him either to Waivers, or when he goes back to Sweden instead of reporting to Belleville.

Furthermore, there's no way signing Andersen ever makes sense for a team in Ottawa's position. Either he has another down season like this year, and there's no way you can give him a contract given his age, or he bounces back, but then he's likely asking for term on his next deal which is a red flag. Sens competitive window will be opening after next season, Andersen will be 32+ as Ottawa's window starts to open. That just doesn't bode well for the long term viability of the Sens with they are starting their window with a goalie on the decline.

Also even if they were interested for whatever reason, they aren't giving up Formenton. There's too much potential there for it to ever make sense.</div></div>

I think with their other forawrd options and how this year went I don't think formenton is seen as such a valuable commodity in OTT or NHL overall. I would argue that this year is an anomaly for Andersen just based on past performance but I certainly understand the concern Ottawa would have in signing him. Keep in mind that Blackwood would unlikely become a leaf as NJ would likely retain meaning we likely just keep andersen as our starter anyways. If we retain andersen then I think things work differently over the offseason to ensure we are better suited to handle his departure starting after this summer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>K issues

NJ matches as they got significantly more cap space and Blackwood is their new starter.
Danault is worth way more than that even if he is a rental.
Ottawa has no need of freddie they got Nilsson/Hogberg as their tandem next year.
Johnsson could probs get a third and a 5th if lucky but a 2nd would be wishful thinking. Maybe a conditional 2nd but even thats a gamble.</div></div>

1. Agree Blackwood likely is retained but a man can dream.
2. Danault is better but is not signed as long Kerfoot is younger and signed longer and produces similar to him even now. You could sweeten more from toronto's end but only if he re-signs with us.
3. See another thread for my reasoning for Ott and Andersen.
4. Johnsson I'd be down for cond 2nd but Id also consider holding onto him so we aren't trading from low point too.
