Description

Montreal right now needs to free up a few contract spots (its the reason why they havent claimed guys despite having to resort to calling beck up from junior). They have farrell Struble and Tuch coming after the ncaa season is over. With all the injuries and LTIR the habs effectively dont have a cap anymore.

New Jersey could use more cap flexibility for the deadline. With Bernier on LTIR they will be dippig into the Pool instead of accumulating cap.

Trades

MTL

Johnsson, Andreas

Additional Details:

Would free up a contract spot for montreal and add a usable body.

Side note: the habs would probably want a ahl forward signed to a ahl deal as well. they are running out of bodies.

NJD

Additional Details:

Byron is done this season (and probably for his career tbh) so he stays on ltir which adds to the pool and Johnsson comes off.

Fairbrother is also done for the year.

I'd be fine with this if it's just a matter of cap room

Why does Montreal need to free up a contract spot exactly? We are sitting at 47 of 50 and are expected to trade some for futures (Monahan,Dadonov, Drouin). Also we have Byron's expiring after the season so that frees up an additional spot.

Quoting: Campabee

Depending on the trades they will likely need to take contracts back on top of the return they get due to the cap and other teams contract constraints.

Remember last year lehkonen out but barron in

Toffoli out but pitlick in

Kulak out but lagesson in.

The team needs the extra slot to ensure they arent in a position where they either cant make a trade or sign one of their ncaa guys due to not having enough spots
