Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

With Caufield out for the year, and with half the rest of the team injured long-term, the Habs are basically packing it in - not that they were primed to make a run, but they at least were showing some progress with their young core.

Now, what to do with this team? Well, it's still a flat cap world, and there are still teams that will want to clear space to make some big moves, so why not take advantage of that?

Here's a few moves that I think could make sense for the Habs to acquire a few extra picks and a couple of warm bodies they can use so they're not stripping Laval to the studs over the last half of the season. Tried to base the values on the prior cap retention trades, and based them on how much cap the team was saving for the buried player hit, not the full cap hit.
