Isles aren't as cap-strapped as you'd think - they still have about $10M in cap space this summer even after you account for an RFA raise for Noah Dobson, and they can free up more if they move Varlamov.
That being said, I think this draft has Shane Wright, and then a bunch of solid if not spectacular prospects, so the drop off in trading down from the 7-10 range might not be horrible. I think the Habs could move up with sending either one of those two extra picks (assuming they're both around 20) and, if they wanna roll the dice, an unprotected 2023 1st; otherwise, it's the Calgary & StL 1sts + something from that batch of 2nds and 3rds you've collected up there - the higher the Isles pick winds up, the higher I'd try and pull out of that batch.
