Description

MTL comes ahead of only ARZ who wins their 1st ever 1st OA pick in 2023 i predict(their hailmary would be Bedard)
MTL comes in 3rd OA after the draft Lotto losing a position but landing Fantilli in the process.
FLA pick is 26th OA same as this years

MTL at the 2023 Draft trades Carey Price to SJS for Karlsson
This will be just after MTL sells off 5(+2 AHL) UFA at the TDL
We'll be at that point where we'll have the cupboards stocked enough to compete for real.
Karlsson can fill the big shoe's that Weber and Petry left on PP
Its just a shame Hoffman and him had a falling out as they were lethal on PP together

Roy i suspect jumps right to the NHL after 2022-23 season.
He'll have a big year as he'll compete in his 2nd U-20 tournament in December in less then 6 months.
This will be ontop of becoming the 5th Back to Back winner of the QMJHL Jean Belliveau Award for top point producer.
Likely to jump straight to the NHL because of his high end playmaking and the void on 2nd pair RD beside 2 Quality Goal Scoring Prospects.

As Lethal as Anderson-Suzuki-Caufield was and is
Slavkovsky-Dach-Roy has the potential to be so much more if all 3 click like Tatar/Danault/Gally

This build is about competing sooner then later but its mostly about giving the youth a few
Choice Veterans to learn from in area's we have hole's while we let anyone with UFA status go basically.

Also dont panic Ghule and Barron are in Laval playing top minutes for their 2nd year.
The hope is we can pull them up straight into a top 6 role at 20-22 minutes a night .
Trade Eddy and Wideman at the TDL if those 2 are on fire at the AHL level .
Otherwise just leave them there as long as they're waiver exempt

MTL will then have depth at the NHL and AHL level on standby for Defense.
For offense its more of a make or break for many players promoted as RHP will surely push out someone (too good to be held down)

Trades

MTL

Karlsson, Erik ($1,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

SJS Gets
-#26 OA pick
-#34 OA pick
-#98th OA pick
-Hoffman to sell at the TDL at 50% RS SJS can RS again to bring it to 1.125m for TDL sale given that he's a PP specialist who scored 49.5% of his points there teams will be interested at that cap

SJS gets a return then can get behind while securing cap space to move forward with allowing them to be more active in the trade market and free agency

SJS

Hoffman, Mike ($2,250,000 retained)
Price, Carey
2023 1st round pick (FLA)
2023 2nd round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

MTL gives up a decent amount and yes Karlsson is overpaid but he's also still a really good player and actually fits our timeline for what we'll need after acquiring Lundkvist .

This way MTL can compete straight after the Bedard draft by leading the way from the PP and the blue line.

MTL

Lundkvist, Nils

Additional Details:

MTL gets a top 4 RD prospect they need to play with Barron long term as it looks more and more likely Mailloux will play bottom pair/special teams role.

Behind Karlsson i think Lundkvist will develop into a top shelf D giving MTL back its strong Right Side.

Both players have similar value and fill a need for each organization by taking away from an area they are deeper at

NYR

Kidney, Riley

Additional Details:

Riley finished top 15 (11th) in QMJHL Faceoffs after having a career year he joined team Canada to win a Gold. His role there wasnt as offensive as one would have like but his primary role is as a Faceoff Center.

Middle 6 Faceoff Center that is comparable to Jean Gabriel Pageau in many ways.

Don't think SJ or Ana do this but especially not Ana.

Sharks do this if they are truly committed to their rebuild, dont do it if they arent. Would Price waive his NMC to go to San Jose knowing they're rebuilding, though?

Yes as i said he will be retired for all intensive purposes .
I think like Weber he doesnt care where his contract goes as long as someons paying him

Price might make a return but i highly doubt it and if anything it will be similar to Ben Bishop where each potential return he doesnt get the thumbs up from doctors or coaches.
Once the Knee's go on a big goalie like Price thats all she wrote as its such an Endurance Trial 60 minutes a game 50+ games a year not including practice
