These are merely speculations. Let's say if one of these trades were to happen the other one doesn't happen. Which player (for his trade price and cap hit) would you rather have, and who would be involved in a trade for either of these players going to Montréal. (Nichushkin is still an RFA, how much do you think his cap hit will be and how long?) Obviously Montréal would have to clear some cap space, that is a no brainer.
