Not bad... I have a couple of concerns though. For one, I don't think Statsny is going to be willing to go to Montreal. He doesn't seem to have a lot of interest in going East unless it is going to get him immediate success. That said, the money is probably pretty close. Secondly, why trade so much good stuff (for the future most likely) to Buffalo if you are not even playing Bogosian?! You may as well just trade a few prospects and a 1st/2nd for O'Reilly or something. Not to mention, what is the point of making a decent trade to improve your draft picks in a STACKED draft, and then just trading one of these picks in order to get Bogosian and a 7th? My only other concern is that Galchenyuk doesn't seem like a third liner to me, but I guess I see why he is there with this decent lineup. Overall, despite my concerns, I think this is not bad at all, it is quite good.

The reason to take Bogosian was financial, as I think the Sabres are not happy with his contract, and the Habs can afford the cap hit and cash outlay better.

This avoids having to trade Galchenyuk for O'Reilly, and we end up with three offensive lines, any one of which could break a game open.

De La Rose is the wild card as I think he has the wheels to keep up offensively and the instincts to hold the defensive fort with his wingers, but they can always switch him with Danault if necessary. I have it my way because I have seen Danault contribute offensively playing with bottom six wingers before.
