Description

*Not a huge MTL fan so things could be off but, this is how I would run the lines.

I wish there was room for Farrell in this line up but I would have him, along with Armia as the 1st call ups.

I am also not a huge Primeau fan but maybe they choose to keep him over DeSmith...or maybe they opt not to have 3 goalies on the roster. Again, this is just what I would do.

Thoughts?

Not sure what the return would be but I assume they flip Petry before the season starts.

If they can start the season without using the Ltir they will.

Roster will most likely look like that. I think that Heineman will make a push this season so would be surprise to see Evans or Dvorak being move and either Monahan or Newhook taking on third line duties.

Monty > Allen, honestly I hope KH finds a trade partner for Allen so long as we're not expected to pay to move him. I understand 3+ is way too much but if we eat a contract + retain we could get some minimal compensation anyway.

With how the last couple seasons went with injuries I'd leave 3 G's on the roster and rotate them as we see fit.

The lines are probably pretty close to start, MSL like to mix things up so this is a pretty good guess.

The LTIR aspect that was already pointed out, we either move salary to utilize the cost savings @ TDL or take another facilitation or cap dump for compensation and maximize on the 10.5 LTIR Price contract by being well over the cap prior to putting him LTIR pre-season.

As much as it seems like Petry is already on his way out, I have a feeling he is here this season and gone next. Earliest I can see him moving personally is TDL this year but hell, I've been wrong before... That being said I feel at the max retention we're allowed, Petry should bring back ~ a 2nd rounder.
