Funny how fast something develops isn’t it? The Montreal Canadiens announced that they were trying to trade Mark Streit yesterday. That was weird considering how tough a sell it would be for another team to give up assets for an aging defencemen who really struggled.
Not even 24 hours later and Streit finds himself on waivers. If the Canadiens wanted to get rid of Streit, this would be the best way to do it. Additionally, if he clears his $700,000 AAV (via Capfriendly.com) won’t count against the cap because it’s less than $1 million.
