Description

All of this is based off this team missing the playoffs.

If that happens…Holland should retire or be fired. Send Tippett packing as well. Major personnel changes needs to be made as well. Dead money lol Keith and Kassian have to go. Leaders have to be brought in who can also still play. Price and Gallagher can still play and both are real leaders.

I’m sure people will think I’m crazy for trading Leon but if this team fails one major piece needs to go and he’s it. 97 isn’t going anywhere. Nurse was resigned to a horrendous deal and he can’t be move now. Barrie could go but his cap hit isn’t awful for what he gives us on PP. Ceci is a little overpaid but moving him doesn’t do much for cap issues.

Jarvis gives us a sniper and playing him with RNH would be one dynamic 2nd line. Boyd is one hell of an underrated player and I think he can be signed on the cheap and centre a line with those two talents. The best part of these moves is adding Slavin into our D and improving ur bottom six with guys like Martinook, Appleton, Geekie, and Marchment. Gallagher is the perfect middle sixer who can play up and down a lineup. This is a much better team than we currently hace

I can't see MTL retaining on Gallagher, especially not 500k. It uses a retention spot for almost nothing for 5 seasons.

Habs accept but rather retain extra on price then wasting a 500k retention on Gallagher

Edmonton fans are going to lose their minds over the Montreal trade regardless, simply because Price and Holloway are involved.
I'll simply point out that it makes more sense to lump the retention onto Price than waste a spot doing $500k for Gallagher.[/quotes ]

Whatever it takes to fix our goaltending I’m willing to do. Gallagher is the part I’m sure I’ll get heck for but he’s worth it for a team that’s trying to win. Sometimes you have to overpay a guy for leadership. The idea with bringing in Keith was for leadership but he can’t play anymore. Gallagher can
