Description
Based on a counter-proposal I made to a trade machine offer someone else initiated.

In the off-season before 2021-22 campaign; Montreal signs and trades Kotkaniemi + Toffoli and picks for Jack Eichel.

Suddenly a lot more top heavy, Montreal's prospects have to fill the void in the bottom six as Danault and Tatar are gone to free agency.

2M cap space remaining, +6.3M from Chiarot, Kulak, and Thompson contracts expiring the following year should be enough to get Suzuki, and Romanov locked up for decent term, and maybe even keep Chiarot too.
