Josh Anderson @5.5 mil UFA 2027
Ben Chiarot @3.5 mil UFA 2022
2022 2nd round pick

Sean Monahan @5.375 mil (1 mil retained) UFA 2023
Nikita Zadorov @3.75 UFA 2022
Jakob Pelletier @863K RFA 2024

Calgary gets a big fast skating physical top 6 RW who seems very well suited for a Sutter team, a defenseman who will hopefully be a better fit in Calgary than Zadorov has been and gains a little cap space (not counting Pelletier's cap since he isn't on the NHL roster) .

Montreal gets a top young Quebecios prospect good enough to make their roster immediately though they could (should IMO) keep him in the AHL until next year and start tanking for a great chance at Shane Wright. They also get Monahan who if he recovers his old form makes the trade a big win for Montreal.

Could change Anderson to Toffoli. Anderson is bigger younger and more physical. Toffoli is more of a goal scorer, less injury prone and comes with a 1.25M lower cap hit on a shorter term contract. Anderson is a player you want in the playoffs, Toffoli is a player who helps get you to the playoffs.

If Monahan continues playing how he has been the past few games then he could very much equal Anderson alone. Saying that, I don’t think Chiarot and 2nd is worth Pelletier and Zadorov. Good post tho.

Maybe switch out Pelletier for Poirier on this one? Poirier is the more expendable between the two IMO.

@Casual

It's closer than you think. Chiarot is more of a Sutter type player than Zadorov. More importantly unless Montreal suddenly starts playing a lot better their second round pick is going to be a very early one. Almost as good as a late first.

Pelletier is a really good prospect but he's expendable because the Flames are so stacked with left shot forwards. And with him being Quebecios the Habs should be very interested in acquiring him.

How do you figure we gain cap space?
You have mony at 5.375 with 1 million retained which makes him 4.375. Zad is at 3.75 so those numbers added up equals 8.125 which is leaving Calgary. Decent amount. But what you have coming back in return is 5.5 for Anderson and 3.5 for chiarot plus that million retained stays on our cap hit. Those numbers equal out to 10 million coming onto our books. Where is the cap space we gain?
