Why would St.Louis trade him?

Why would St.Louis trade him?

And why settle? Why not Mackinnon?

If young players like Thomas or Stützle come available, Habs should be all over them. Salary cap is going up by a lot and these Covid-era extensions could be major assets while 14-16 million salaries become general. Of course it will be almost impossible as young centers are the most coveted assets in the league. In HFBoards price starts with Hutson but in real life it's hardly ever what fans expect. At some point miserable teams need to let their young stars go. Meanwhile we sit and wait and listen to perennial shit teams lose their locker room and agents of talented youngsters push for a trade.

Forgot this is a trade proposal thread, not a place for a vague reflections of improbable if-situations. So here's one: Sidney Crosby for both Habs 25 1st round picks and Josh Anderson. Sid loves Habs, it runs in his blood and he can't fight it by trying to be a Penguins legend. He'll always play the second fiddle to Mario. But imagine the heights of his legacy if he made it here? Pittsburgh will honor his wish and we're in for a exciting playoff push.
