For a rebuilding team, Montréal has little long-term cap flexibility because of the amount of money tied up in their middle-of-the-lineup players. Not only they're doomed to operate in LTIR for the next 4 years, they already have Matheson, Armia, Gallagher, Anderson, Savard, Dvorak, and Allen under contract for the next 3+ years and some of them will outlast Slafkovsky, Guhle + the 2023 pick's ELCs. They just shouldn't be adding more top dollars and long-term commitments to players that aren't top-of-the-lineup players.
