Since he's not a free agent, I think it's more: what would be a good price point for him, what would that be worth in a trade, and how much do you subtract because he's overpaid.

It's less than they want, naturally, but it's more than nothing - his overpay doesn't offset his entire value.

He would be a good add, but if we're going to continue with the studs and duds approach it doesn't really work without retention, and that probably gets too complicated - particularly because our war chest is mostly empty.

We just dont have the cards to go all in
Lots of media drumming up hype to justify trade deadline shows

I'm holding out for Danke Schenn, a very gracious, appreciative player... great in the room. Bend over backwards kinda guy.

I don't want either considering the rumored asking price. Would be much cheaper to get Evans and Savard out of Montreal. Evans has one less goal than Brayden Schenn, 9 less points and costs 1.7 against the cap. Savard can play top 4 RD whereas Luke is more of a bottom pairing. Oh and Evans is a plus on an awful Montreal club

If only we knew who was really available and to who. If it were an even playing field, then great. Some teams have difficulty trading within the division, and the optics of making Toronto better would be a PR nightmare. If Evans and Savard (if available) are great value, why would MTL offer that on a platter?
 
I’m not sure getting slower is the solution, not too mention he hasn’t scored this year.

The viewers justify the trade deadline shows.
 
Unless both can be acquired dirt cheap, they can stay on their respective teams IMHO.

'Dirt cheap' is below the rumored asking prices.
 
Brayden I can see happening.

First, Treliving finalizes the deal on Trade Deadline day and we all assume that means the end of JT in Toronto (as in, they won't re-sign him).

Schenn will then get plugged into the top 6 - likely 2C with Tavares on the wing - because no Toronto coach would ever dare considering dropping any of the big 4 down a line. And because Brayden is the big acquisition he's got to be put in the best possible position to make Tre look good for getting him.

Then in the off-season just before July 1st, the Leafs announce JT has been re-signed to something like 3x7M. They also extend Knies at 6M (or whatever), Mitch at God-mode money and we now have a top 6 that costs just south of $60M.

Treliving spends the rest of the summer trying to find depth scoring with about $600k cap space to spend on it.

Short version: I can see Brayden here but it won't end well.
 
Luke should be free really like a future considerations type of deal only averaging 15 minutes a game is like 12th among Dmen whose played games for Nashville. plus he has an extra year on his deal which to me would actually be a detriment to his value

I think IF we’re getting Brayden Schenn, the deal will need to involve a third team to eat salary for a mid round pick. Adding him for 3 years at 3.25M would be quite nice, but the total cost could be prohibitive.

Obviously it all depends on what you can get St Louis down to in terms of trade cost.

It is certainly possible our assets would be better served on a different target.

If both players are indicating that they will not sign or are asking for a price Montreal doesn't want to pay, the GM should make a trade to maximize their assets. The job of their GM is to make the Habs better. If Toronto gives the best return, Habs would be best served to take it.

No 3rd team is paying Schenn 10-12M, absorbing that cap hit and using up one of their retention spots for 3 1/2 years for just a mid round pick.

Woops, I meant to put that at 25% retention. I agree they wouldn’t eat 50% but maybe 25%. Hard to know we’ve seen some oddly cheap retention (although yes admittedly it’s usually 1 year)

In that case you are still asking a team to eat 5-6M and use a retention spot for 3 1/2 years for just a mid round pick.
That would cost more than a mid round pick imo
