Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Here are my thoughts:

1. I think Petry still has game left, but wants a change of scenery. He is still a top 4 D and fetches prospect plus a 2nd rounder. JVR helps make the cap work and maybe he can be productive with Habs.
2. I think Armia's style of play suits the Kings organization well and we fit in with the team. I know the salary isn't great, but given the minimal return I think they would be interested. I assume there is no space on the team for Lias going forward.
3. A typical TDL move, Bolts get depth scoring on a very affordable contract. I think the salary retention bumps this from a 4th to a 3rd.
4. Seems like Chiarot will definitely be moved and I think Panthers are a good fit. Deal is Chiarot for a 2nd and a prospect which I think is fair value, I added in the extra 3rd due to salary retention.
5. Another typical TDL move, Canes get depth D on a pretty affordable contract. I think the salary retention turns the value from a 4th to a 3rd round pick.
6. This one is a little bit more out there. My thoughts are Rangers are competing right now and adding in the scoring threat of Hoffman and the more solid goaltending of Allen (assuming he is 100% healthy) they make this move. The cap might be a concern here especially with Hoffman, but given they have considerable cap space I thought this made sense. I'm sure Rangers fans will say the return is too high, but keep in mind the Rangers 1st is assumed to be bottom 10 and Habs 3rd is assumed to be top 10.
