With Romanov and Kovalchuk

Team: 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: May 8, 2020

Published: May 8, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

YES - Yes I know, it's really expensive for the goaltender position.
But hey, not every team is the same so... that'll be that.

It doesn't make any sense, but since the Habs are "stuck" with a huge contract in Price, it'll be like that for years to come.

Hopefully - and I'm giving myself the opportunity to do it hehe - the NHL announces, just like in the previous work stoppage, ONE compliance buyout per team with no penalty

Re: Nate Thompson: he's been an absolute leader and mentor for young players, and already has a job with the Habs following his career if he chose to - in player development. Even with 5 minutes a game, having this guy on the bench is positive.

Re: Ben Hutton: There are 2 other young LD prospects - Norlinder and Harris - who are 2 years away. Hutton can take a 2 year deal to beef up his value for another UFA contract soon after. Or someone else in that same talent-contract pool.

Re: Vicot Mete traded: it could also be Kulak - or Juulsen staying in the AHL.

Thew rest is not science obviously. So it's just for fun and therefore, please feel free to share your opinion.

Hope everyone out there (3 people reading this? 2? haha) is safe and well :)
