Description

Likely no changes this off season but hypothetically some avenues to improve without spending above what they have.

Labanc doesn't score like olofsson but his possession/shot quality numbers are way better which should help the second line (it already has plenty of shooting talent).

L3 and L4 get a makeover, will allow them to do more damage.

Goaltending unchanged not because they don't need it, but mostly cause there are no goalies available worth the price tag/risk.

Overall, this team would probably have a record like WSH this year heading into the deadline. Could make a move then if revenue goes back up.

Labanc has had a good year all things considered

His dad was in a coma to start the year
He just bought his first house in SJ
His wife is expecting any moment now
He's had a bounce back campaign
He's been consistently scratched due to SJ coaches hating him for "effort" reasons
And he's been the subject of trade rumours all year

Rough year for banker, a lot going through his head

Yeah... Evans could be move for that price. Great young C who played more of a Defensive role with habs. Habs would do it to free up space at C.

Evans will cost a 2nd or 3rd, maybe both. Personally I would trade him for say Portillo and a 2nd (2d is incase Portillo doesn't sign in Montreal either)

Oh I think he's been excellent, just the points haven't been there but that's not even necessarily his fault. Im mostly just taking advantage of the fact that the points are lagging behind his overall play.

I'd probably just give up the lowest 2nd from this years draft. Habs can sign Portillo in August if they want.
