Can't quote but Gallagher + Anderson would just be for cap purposes. Hoffman would be the better deal for the Flames.
Why would Montreal give up more value than they'd need to?
Trades with large contracts are pretty rare. Subban for Weber and Kessel are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head. Kessel went to a contending team and got a late first and spare parts and that was with retention.
