Montreal has no reason to target another depth defenseman when they’re likely to cut at least 2 of their own because they have a plethora of them. You also have to consider where they’re at as a team still in a rebuild. They’d much rather priortize their younger depth players.To repeat myself, a lot of teams don't have these conditions and have a clear use for Ceci/Kulak types. And Montreal has 2-3 defencemen who have ever played a full season in the NHL.
I mean here’s the thing, any bottom feeder team could take on Ceci/Kulak, but why? They’re not sniffing the playoffs, they need a better reason to acquire them and Edmonton can’t give them that.
