I came up with the idea for this trade when I saw this trade proposal:

from Nighthawk.
Anyways, I thought of if the Canadiens traded Alzner @ 50% retained for Eriksson @ 50% retained, Baertschi, and something else to provide incentive for Montreal. I don’t know what the incentive would be, that would probably be easier for Canucks fans to figure out.
If Vancouver buys out Alzner right away, and Montreal buys out Eriksson next offseason, then the cap hits would be:
That way, Vancouver saves about $4.4 million in the first year, about $1 million in the second year, around the same in the third year, and it only costs them $400K in the fourth year. (As opposed to keeping Baertschi and buying out Eriksson in 2021)
Also if Montreal decides to keep Eriksson on their roster and not buy him out, then it ends up saving them $1 million in 22-23 rather than 21-22.
not a bad trade idea but montreal still needs help on defense. mete in the top 4? juulsen in the top 6? don't know if thats a good idea
This has nothing to do with this specific Armchair GM team, but ok. As long as Juulsen is healthy, he’s an NHL defenseman all day long. I don’t know if you’re just looking at his stats or what, but he’s a great defensive defenseman. It could just as easily be Kulak or Fleury in the lineup ahead of him. And it seems like a lot of people think that Mete is worse than he is. Sure, maybe a contender wouldn’t have Mete in their top 4, but Montreal isn’t a contender. We can wait the 1 or 2 years until he is overtaken by Romanov.
