To MTL: Marcus Pettersson Derick Brassard Owen Tippett
To CGY: Rasmus Andersson Michael Grabner Nick Holden
We wanted to accomplish an upgrade from Grabner with preferably a center/winger with higher FO than Rantanen. To balance the salaries the return for this pending UFA had to be two of the players that were already lost to us; Holden with 50% retained salary and Grabner. Pettersson and Andersson are very similar in age and stats. The big difference is the contract, where Andersson is under control for six years and Pettersson only three. The compensation for that and the possible difference between the UFA:s is Tippett. While I’m not too fond of his stats/profile in Beard the potential in the league and as a future NHL rerate is interesting. Thanx for the easy talks Theo!

Calgary agrees. I've tried Tippett on different lines all year long but it just wasn't happening here. His 90PO rating should help make him a player for Montreal in the future. Brassard wasn't going to be offered a contract from Calgary. Rasmus was the key to this deal. As Lennart said, he has extra RFA years and that ultimately is what swung the deal for me.
Thanks Lennart!
