Description

Notes on the trades/signings:
Keep in mind the Habs would only get Gaudreau for one year and Calgary isn't retaining any salary.

I hope after this year's playoffs people realize that Paul Byron is more than just a cap dump, and that he has a lot of value and I'm practically gifting him to Detroit so I can get under the cap.

I liked what I saw from Martinez in the Vegas series. He's mobile and he lives for those big moments. Hell, he scored the cup winner for LA in 2014. Should be a beast for the Habs in the playoffs and an asset on the power play. He'd look good next to Shea Weber.

Shipping off Byron opened up a spot on the fourth line and I thought a relatively young Caggiula at a low price would look good on that left side.

Once again Paul Byron isn't a piece that Yzerman would go after, And Byron at $3,400,000 for 2 more years would cost at least 2 3rd round picks one for each year of the contract.

Everything about this (trade each signing are brutal)
That would be Bergevin worse offseason and that beats the 2016 offseason (Alzner signing, Drouin vs Sergachev, not resigning Radulov Markov, trading Beaulieu and losing Emelin to Vegas)

Dear valued member of the peanut gallery,

Thank you for your insightful feedback. The level of detail is most impressive. I only read the second line of your comment, but considering how much detail went into recalling Bergevin's worst offseason, I can only imagine the comprehensiveness with which you analyzed my take on this offseason.

I look forward to hearing more of your respectful and methodical critiques in the future.

Cheers,
Bo_Knows
