Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

[Caufield Suzuki Dach]
In 2 years, I expect this line to be an average 1st line in the NHL. 50 goals for Caufield, 70 pts for Suzuki and 60 points for Dach.
[Lafrenière Dubois Roy]
I think Lafrenière needs to play on a 2nd line. Dubois is a point-per-game player. I expect Roy to make an average of 50 points.
[Farrell Beck Slafkovsky]
Farrell is probably the forward with the highest offensive hockey IQ of the team. Beck is probably the forward with the highest defensive hockey IQ of the team. With them, Slafkovsky could play like the beast he's supposed to become... not thinking too much.
[Mesar Kidney/Kapanen Gallagher]
Mesar and Kidney are two very intelligent players. Kapanen and Gallagher are more about grit and leadership.

[Guhle Barron]
I think Guhle is already a top 4 D and he will soon be the best D of the team. With Guhle, Barron would be able to play offensively. I expect them to make 40 points each by season.
[Hutson Mailloux]
Hutson is probably the best offensive D of the team. Mailloux is bigger and has a more powerful shot. I expect Hutson to make 50 points/season and Mailloux about 30 points/season.
[Harris Xhekaj]
This would be the shutdown pair. They can also produce offensively (25 points/season).

[Jarry]
He's a #1 goalie. His age fits with the Stanley Cup window of MTL.
[Montembeault, Primeau or Dubes]
The best between those 3 goalies would be our #2.

With this scenario, I think this is a team that would make the playoffs and possibly win in the 1st round. We would also have cap space (25 M$) for experienced player like Horvat, Stamkos, Lindholm, Devon Toews, Skjei, Graves, ... It also doesn't count the players we would draft until this season (ex : Carlsson + a goalie).
