4.Re-sign Domi 6y 6.5M
5.Sign Romanov ELC

Last thing the Habs need is another aging contract.

It would cost 3rd + Caufield, Brook and a future 1st to get from 3 to 1st. Probably even more than that

We don't need to buyout Alzner. He's a great pro, and at worst is a very good character down in Laval. He's still a solid #7 option.

Give Hall 10.5 Million with all of our young core needing contracts? No thanks. Everywhere Hall goes, the team instantly starts plummeting in the standings. There's a reason for that.

Under no circumstances should we give Kovalchuk more than 1 year. He has 1 point in his last 9 games and is just going to be another year older. Unless he is in the top 6, I don't see him helping us regardless.

I like the Anderson for Byron thought, but it's well known that Anderson has injury problems.

good takes.

Look at the Rangers and Panarin. They hit for the fences and it seems to be working now. He single-handedly brought the Devils to the playoffs.
Buyout Alzner for cap reasons
Byron is also VERY injury prone. tid for tad
I agree that this signing Hall may cause cap problems but three things to consider. Tatar and Petry will be off the books in 2021. Not sure KK will get as much money on his first deal. The cap will keep rising with years.
Kovalchuk should be 1 year you are correct. Hopefully, Caufield takes over after that.
