possible MTL moves

Team: 2022-23 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 1, 2022

Published: Jul. 1, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Romanov deal loosely based off Pesce's contract, same term but slightly less AAV since Pesce had better numbers at the time. Would be around 3.25 but caps gone up.
Pitlick was good, but has a small sample size so it's a reasonable cheap deal for a guy who should put up 40-45 points to help MTL through a rough patch with the cap, while the low term gets him to UFA and a better payday if he can put up decent numbers in a full season.
Schueneman was decent in limited games but it was a small sample size and he's 26, what you see is what you get. Above league minimum but can still be completely buried if necessary.
EDM trade is if Kane doesn't end up back in EDM, I could see them over paying for Anderson as an alternative, big, can skate, decent goal scoring ability. Definitely wouldn't be the same as having Kane but it's not hard to see EDM hoping to get the same results. Would obviously require some cap moved by EDM, but so would Kane so I'm not worried about it. Doesn't need to be a 1st round pick, just similar value.
Pens trade is if Letang does leave and they can't get Klingberg. They shouldn't be buying but I doubt they want to waste whatever time Crosby has left. Like with the EDM deal it doesn't need to be a 1st round pick, it just needs to be a package with similar value.
Hughes has reportedly called teams to see what it would take to move in the top 10 at the draft, although I think it's likely more to give the fans something to be hyped about and get them excited going forward rather than he see's someone in that range as a must have prospect. Apparently Sharks ownership wants to be competitive so I doubt they'll be willing to ride out the Vlasic contract, which is probably the worst value they have. The Sharks pick at 11 doesn't have quite the same wow factor as saying 'we acquired a top 10 pick', but it would still be fun for the fans. Vlasic isn't worth 7M, he isn't even worth the 5.5M after the retention but MTL should have an influx of guys on ELC's over the next 5 or so years as the guys they pick up during the rebuild start maturing into NHLer's so his 4 year deal should be manageable, but it will cost the Sharks.
Mrazek for Allen swap gives MTL another 1st in the next few years and a warm body incase Price gets hurt, while the Leafs save almost 2.5M on a backup this season, and get out of Mrazeks 3.8 next season.
