Description
I don't like the $6.583M in dead money on the books next year AT ALL, but these moves do allow us to improve in key areas (3C, 2G) while retaining 2 of the 3 deadline acquisitions and also avoiding a James Neal buyout that would result in a 6 year penalty. The dead money drops to just $2.25M for 2021-22, allowing us to re-sign Nugent-Hopkins and Yamamoto, possibly Larsson too, so we should be in pretty good shape going forward.

It's not a perfect solution, but Chiarelli left a mess and anyone who thought Holland could clean up that mess in 18 months wasn't being reasonable.

Not as big on moving russell as everyone else. His contract only has one year left then very likely can resign for a massive discount in a depth role. Definitely wouldn’t retain as that penalty makes things even tighter to resign nuge and larsson and yam. I’m not sure habs would actually want Chiasson.

Definitely wouldn’t play green in front of larsson lol. I must be the last person that values defensive D. Especially in front of streaky goalies.

The retention on Russell has nothing to do with re-signing Nugent-Hopkins, Yamamoto or Larsson as their new deals don't kick in until Russell's contract is off the books.

If the Habs had a league average PP they probably would have made the playoffs legitimately. They need a guy like Chiasson.

It’s pretty good! I would of course like to get rid of Neal, but he would be a hard one. I’m curious to see if he will bring up Bouchard, and if Puljujarvi is actually going to come back for next season. Everything looks really good, I think we could get Green for 800K honestly to maybe play as the 7th defence man if Bouchard comes up.

It's not about who is better, I set it up that way because I think those pairings have complimentary skills. We know Nurse-Bear works and Jones-Larsson played well together in a small sample size (as 2nd pairing when Klefbom was out) and we know Tippett likes Green as he played him at 2nd pairing forbthe 2 games before he got injured, so this is not an unreasonable setup at all. It allows Tippett to basically roll the defense as all 3 pairings are roughly equal.
