I understand your point and i do agree. But from my comprehension of the market and the buying teams, the sticking point was more about taking a bad contract for Edmundson than having a clear substractions even for an underwhelming offer.That is exactly my point.
The difference between what you would have got (as your example) and what you will get next year (or in ideal circumstances) isn’t worth the better odds the Habs would have (in a draft where the top guy has a level that comes every 10ish years).
The trade deadline is a competitive market between contenders for upcoming UFA. Its rarely a market for players with terms.
