I don't mean to burst your bubble... but you have to know that Montreal (with Dubois) have no chance at being close to the wild card spot next year. If you want to argue the year after that (only if Matthews leaves TO, Tampa implodes and Boston is too old to compete), then you have a chance and even then, it'll be a dog fight to the very end...
If I were Hughes, I would be shipping off Suzuki or Caufield (prob Suzuki considering he is older), Dach, Allen, Matheson and Savard for their values at draft day and try to compete in 2026-27 when all of these teams have imploded (maybe not But and Ott but they will be on their last hurrah). When trading the players above, teams with bad GMs (EDM, PITS, TBL, PHI etc.) would be GMs that I would be calling first to start the price high.
