TSNBobMcKenzie: MTL acquires P.A Parenteau from COL. I believe Daniel Briere is headed to COL in return.
Parenteau to MTL

That strikes me as a pretty odd decision by Colorado unless there's a buyout coming.

Maybe, though, I imagine part of it is that it frees up $4M for 15/16 without a buyout.

They need the space to go over their internal structure to sign Stastny.

I suppose but if that's the play I can't help but feel you're better off leaving things as is, hope Parenteau rebounds a little, and try to move him at the deadline.
He had 67 points two years ago and was at a 73 point pace last year. Even with top shelf linemates you have to figure that has some value.

Isn't it a 35+ deal?

Yes, but, it expires after this season, whereas Parenteau's would still have another year on it. The 35+ thing doesn't impact a buy out.

Just reading capgeek and yeah - that's different than it used to be right?

No, I don't think being 35+ ever impacted buyouts. Regardless, it's a moot point:
adater: The Avs will not be buying out Briere. He is an Av for 2014-15

Canadiens also get a 5th rounder in the deal.

Thought so. NHL fans better start getting used to "cap deals" which have been common in the NBA for a while now. Just look at the Raptors most recent deal- Atlanta wanted cap space, Raptors obliged by taking Williams off their hands and got a decent prospect to boot.
Both teams/players weren't happy. Colorado wanted Parenteau's two year deal off the books more than Montreal wanted Briere's one year deal off the books, so a 5th was included.

Useless Trivia:
My daughter is doing Pierre Alexander fiancees make up for his wedding here in Moncton this summer.
My daughter, as a non-hockey fan, told me about the trade this morning so I figured she must be wrong and told her that he played for Colorado still. Opps!
