As a Habs fan, this is very intriguing but there are some big flaws that need to be corrected.
1. The Fowler trade doesn't make sense from Anaheim's perspective: they would be going from a Top 4/Top 2 defenceman to a 4/5 physical guy who doesn't put up a lot of points and is a lot older. The second rounder would be in the 50s and Andrighetto might not even be an Nhl player.
2. The contracts you gave: Radulov will demand at least 6.5 million to resign with us (as he should), Chucky will probably get a little bit more than 6 million (although I don't know how the recent injury is gonna impact his next contract), Markov's salary shoud be closer to what he makes now, altough he might take a discount to give the team a better chance to win the Cup. Beaulieu' contract is fair. I feel like Dadonov and Shypachyov would demand higher salaries to come to the Nhl, not at Radulov's level but probably closer to 4 and 4.5. While you underpaid for some guys, you have overpayed for others. Lindgren can't demand that salary yet, even if he's been having a fantastic season in the Ahl and Flynn shouldn't be re-signed at all. Plug in some prospects as 13th forwards and save some money.
3. Speaking of Lindgren, we are actually forced to re-sign Montoya or some other veteran backup goalie to expose him during the expansion draft, otherwise we would have to expose Price
4. The cap should actually be around 75 million next year so there is more room to tweak some of those contracts
5. Some of the Ahl guys that you re-signed should be let go. I know that their salaries basically don't count against the cap, but players like Matteau, Crisp and Terry are horrible and won't get anywhere
