I think your d-pairings need work. I think Sergachev will be on this team next season unless traded. It's not impossible that our d-pairings could be 79&6 - 22&26 - JJ&8, leaving Emelin. Habs won't let Emelin do nothing as a 7th d-man making a 4.1M$ cap hit, so it could be a situation where MTL tries to free themselves of that cap hit by offering candy (draft pick) to VGK for them to take him in the expansion draft, OR MTL could retain 1-1.5M$ of his salary in order to unload him to another team.
I really don't think Nesterov gets tendered a contract offer.
