The one part that is fitting for habs in this is the fact can’t put my finger on if they are buyers or sellers.

Buyers. Like we saw with Allen and Edmundson.

Domi, Danault, Gally, Tatar and Petry are all negociating for $5.5M - $6.5M contracts and MTL wont have enough space under the cap for everyone (3 max). So it's a matter or priority and who get signed first. After that, Bergevin will need to decide if he trades the remaining UFAs at TDL for assets or keep them for a playoff run like Columbus did. I think he choose the later and doesnt trade anyone except maybe Domi.

Um its going to take way more than Danault to get Dumba!!! Same with the Laine deal going to take way more that what is offered.

Only move that should happen is Danault for Dumba (with other considerations).

it allows for Petry to walk into FA if he asks too much, and keeps him on the team for this year because if Bergevin doesn`t make the playoffs, he`s likely fired.

Meaning you sign Tatar and Gallagher as UFA's.

Domi is an RFA, you can sign him 1-2 years and deal with trading him later if need be, give him the chance at 1-2 LW, if that doesn't work, 3C.

minnys centers are a dumpster fire. they are not bargaining from a position of strength.
