I agree that Kadri helps the habs more in the next 3 years than Hage does, but will Kadri be the only player available and can you get someone else or Kadri and keep Hage.
Montreal also could make that big move next year, even with Kadri I doubt they win the cup or become the top teams in the East.
Kadri's age also puts them in a spot if they start to truly contend even next year and Kadri declines, would it have been better to wait until the summer or next year for a better fit than Kadri.
If I'm Conroy, I'm ok to make a move and let them keep Hage.

That is fine, have to see where Demidov is next year. In Draisaitl’s second year he was tied for 82nd in scoring. Demidov is currently tied for 74th. Have to see where he is next year but I would feel confident in saying any contract he signs with term will be for between 10-13 million dollars a year.
