Description

In this scenario, I’m removing bad contracts, and creating ice time for the younger players. It leaves the roster short a #1C and a #1RHD.

This rebuild would take 2 seasons, assuming 2 years of draft picks in the top 5.

MTL

Available to the highest bidder during the summer. We might need to retain salary.

Drouin, Jonathan

MTL

We’ll need to get creative to drop these salaries from our roster. Dropping them creates ice time for the younger players.

Teams don't trade for bad contract ($ and term) without sending bad cap back to Montreal.

Unless you’re adding candy to the deal, in the same way we took Mason off the Jets’ hands, by giving us Armia and a 4th.

Since Armia & Dvorak have a little term, the candy would have to be a lot more attractive.

I agree, most GMs aren’t interested, but I’m sure someone is willing to “buy” the right pick(s)/prospect(s) in exchange for cap space.
