Team: 2023-24 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 7, 2022

Published: Mar. 7, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I went with 85 million as the cap because that's close to what it will be in two years, also @habitantlecolon challenged me to do this, so sorry to any team whose prospects I either under or overvalue. One thing I noticed is that this team will be reliant on ELC's to stay under the cap as I don't think that any team will be open to trading for the bad contract's on the Canadians or just some of their veteran players such as Hoffman, Price, Gallager, and others. All contracts are indicative of when they were signed, if there is no indication it's2022, 2023, and 2024 will be stated here. All contracts have the appropriate amount of term as to when they were signed. Monahan gets a three year test in Montreal at the second center position to see if he can regain some of what he was as a his former player. If not he is flipped at the 2024 trade deadline for what you can get. Gallager gets the 'C' and Letang along with Anderson get 'A's. You also may balk at the contract value for Letang, it's not like he's a bad defenceman and he is signed for '4' years after 2022 offseason but it will take a lot for him to leave Pittsburgh. I think that with more ice time Rem Pitlick could hit a scoring spree and be really good on that second line. I did not use any prospects, partly because we don't know where Montreal will draft but also because we all have different opinions of what this team should draft. Please add retention into any of the trades that I did not add retention into.
