4) Trade Price for a 4th rounder and some salary (no one is going to touch that contract)
1. I 100% agree with the firing of MB
2. Max Pacioretty to CBJ doesn't make sense as their top LW are Panarin, Milano and Jenner. They also have Foligno playing centre, so they won't have him playing C2 minutes that's for sure. What would have made sense was NYI trying to get MaxPac to play with Tavares for Barzal at the beginning of the season. But that wouldn't happen now the way Barzal is playing
3. No one in Montreal would care about that trade, As a GM trying to save his job, this wouldn't be a hard deal to pull off. BUT, if you're building for the future, having Dell means nothing. Getting like Ho-Sang type of guy (can't seem to crack the lineup) would be my aim. Doesn't mean him necessarily tho
4. No one will take that contract yes, but no GM would do that trade because sometimes keeping a bad contract is going to save your job more than gifting it to someone. That would honestly RUN the new GM out of town almost instantly. I do agree tho, the contract does more harm than good when regarding the future. It would be very hard for a GM coming in doing a trade like that to say with a straight face they aren't tanking.
