Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

So this is fantasy, please don't nit-pick on small margins (Duchene is way to hard to speculate "true" value on, and the same for some other contracts)

Center is fixed - face off % goes way up and puck possession too, as well as adding scoring touch
Get Duchene, to me this is within the realm of fair: a young good center and good prospect on defense (the deal hinges on Juulsons perceived value) as well as relatively high picks (could be 2019 if they don't like the 2018 draft). Wiggle room on adding picks of course.
Hanzal is signed for term and reasonable cap, The market could see him in the 5 mil maybe (Habs just can't really justify that, but he's getting good cap and term so I see this as possible).

Montreal resists the desire to get rid of Galchenyuk (him and others always have really strong starts, if we wanted to move him then wait until his value is actually up!), to me great chance he flourishes as a winger and adds to our scoring.
Beaulieu is traded to Dallas which clearly could use defense, Shore is a nice prospect who adds to the depth down the middle. With this and everything else I can't say with certainty how the expansion draft goes, Pleky might be a target IDK. As well, Beaulieu might be a bit hard to move again IDK - no one does - but I can see those 2nd round picks being used to grease the wheels on making the below thread happen.

My opinion on both Radulov and Markovs contracts is that they both take term over higher cap, 6 mil is fair and a good term for Radulov; Markov gets 2 years instead of just one at a lower cap than he would otherwise be owed. This means he will likely retire a hab!!
