Using our cap space this off season

Équipe: 2020-21 Canadiens de Montréal

Date de création initiale: 6 juin 2020

Publié: 22 juin 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Future lines: (2022-23)
Drouin-KK-Suzuki
Perfetti-Rossi-Caufield
Tatar-Danault-Gally
Gourde-Evans-Ylonen
Sergachev-Jokiharju
Romanov-Weber
Norlinder-(Fleury or Juulsen)
Price
Primeau (or Primeau is #1 and Price is #2?)

I think Buffalo and TBay would be willing to pay huge prices to clear up cap and we should take advantage of that.
If Gourde won't waive his NTC than try to O/S Sergachev at 5x$6M
If Okposo won't waive his NTC than we keep Petry and try to move Domi + Oloffson's for Buffalo's first (Rossi)
Assuming we still draft 8th over-all and take Perfetti.
I added Allen for 1 year to give us a reliable back-up so Price only needs to play 50 - 55 games.
I added Thompson for 1 year to give us some experience and depth and to allow Evans to have an extra year in Laval to develop.
Adding the Joker from Buffalo makes Petry expendable IMO.
I would sign Norlinder and bring him to Laval so we have options if Romanov needs more time to develop in Laval. If neither Romanov or Norlinder are ready than Kulak becomes the third pairing Dman.
I would shelter Kotkaniemi for 1 more season with Lehk and Armia.
