Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

> De Haan can put up 20+ min per game, making a decent big size left D to pair up with Weber. He blocks shots too. NYI have already Boychuk, Leddy, Hickey, Seidenburg and Ryan Pulock would likely have a place on the line-up for 17-18. They reportedly wish to add more dept in their offence. Plekanec is UFA at the end of the season. Will likely resign for a discount.

> Shaw is a short gritty player. Montreal has already enough, and Gallagher can play that role for Montreal + he has more skills. A team way below cap hit could affort his contract. He sure brings a lot of things to a team. The return is below what Habs had to pay for him, may it compensate for average contract.

> Thornton as a big 1st center, a need for the past 15 years in Montreal. Great leadership. Would helps Pacioretty reach 40 goals and mentor Galchenyuk, who could really use a relief for the 22 yo.

> With Radulov signing, Montreal has at last 2 good offensive trios. At 61 points last year, I don't see Radulov as a bad signing. Just need to watch the term. MTL has enough money. The cap space is enough to resign Carey Price and Pacioretty once Thornton retire.
