Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Habs use their cap space, and draft pick depth and move Domi + Mete for Lindell + Gurianov +Cogliano. MTL gets their need in a top pairing LHD in Lindell. Dallas will need to eventually sign Heiskenan, and Mete will offer a similar, cheaper (but less fancy) option than Lindell as a top 4LHD. Dallas also gets more consistent offence in Domi, than Gurianov (who finally had a breakout season). I figured the value of Lindell must be extremley high, so took in Cogliano's contract for the year and sent some picks (which Dallas does not have a lot of). In hindsight, MTL gets the guy they need and want to improve their top 4 but gives up one of their better forwards, Dallas adds a legit top 6 forward threat, reliable, positional replacement for Lindell, and draft picks.

San Jose gives up a valuable piece in Hertl (but I doubt they'll be able to keep him in 2 years and/or be a contender for those years). They sell high and add Kotkaniemi- future top 6 centre, and Lehkonnen- decent secondary piece + picks. Hertl steps into MTL and becomes their immediate 1st line centre, adding to Danault and Suzuki, Trading Kotkaniemi may be tough, but he's a couple years away and believe MTL should open their window now with Weber and Price just getting older.
