Mailloux is the only one with interesting value, but Xhekaj could change things and become valuable over, say the next 15 months. But right now, Barron, Xhekaj, Dvorak and Pezzetta aren't worth much more than a reclamation project...

But trolls will argue that because Habs fans consider that Barron, when acquired, was equivalent to a first rounder, then they still think that over 2 years later, or that the high end of Xhekaj's potential is a consensus valuation of his current trade value.

I have mixed feelings on Wifi. I liked him in Laval with Mailloux last year - thought it was hilarious that the media named that combo a "monstre à deux têtes" (two headed monster) , which is a term you usually give to a team that has two incredible players on attack (ex McDavid and Draisaitl). Kid seems grounded and has a winning attitude. Seems physical and able to join in on the offense, with a surprising shot.

However, it is like he wants to just be a goon sometimes. If that is the case, i'd want to trade him while he has hype value and put a goon on the 4th line if needed. It hurts less to have a goon on attack when you lose him.

Cal: Andersson, Pospisil & 2nd('25)
Mtl: 1st(Cal/Fld), Barron, Dvorak & Pezzetta

I was going to slam this down...then I saw Pezzetta, the 26 year old former 6th rounder who has yet to secure a spot in the NHL, and that really tipped things in Calgary's favor.

It's a late 1st and 3 players with next to zero value for Andersson, Pospisil...and Calgary adds a high 2nd. Why would you possibly post this? Would anyone pick up any of Barron, Dvorak, and Pezzatta for free on waivers?

This is just as bad as the original proposal...

No its' not.

Andersson is a legit and young top pairing D-man. You have to give to get. It might be slightly off with both Mailloux and the 1st included, but it's pretty close. Mailloux looks great but is not a sure thing.

No, there is no way Montreal moves a potential top 10 pick, a D picked 31st and progressing well, as well as a guy acquired for 2 picks in the 30s, for a D in his prime, who is a UFA after the 2026 playoffs, and likely to cost a fortune to resign. Montreal gives up tons of cost-controlled years to get less than 2 in return.
This just makes no sense for Montreal.
