Description

CGY IMO will hit Rebuild mode fully at the TDL
With Dach out Lindholm IF MTL can resign him is worth it.
Also i want to sign Toffoli to next off season and this helps big time.

Lindholm i figure will do a 6 year deal at 8.75m for a 100% NMC 3/6 years and half in Signing bonuses if he knows MTL's intent is to use the saved money from Caufield,Suzuk, Dach ,Newhook and now Lindholm to land Toffoli.

Just Picture that line up as Hutson, Reinbacher and Roy all set to enter as Rookies.
Caufield-Lindholm-Toffoli
Newhook-Suzuki-Anderson
Slaf-Dach-Roy
RHP-Evans-Gally
Pezz

Matheson-Savard
Guhle -Kovacevic
Xhekaj-Harris
Barron(Savard will likely be traded that year either in the summer or at TDL before he's UFA and Barron moves up)

Montembault
Vladar

Not bad really given where we are in our rebuild and what we got left to profit off of including Savard.

4th line Swaps out its Wingers for Pezz and Condotta vs Gritty teams.
Matt Martins little cousin was built to play the same style game but with more of a Cizikas style

Top 2 lines are great
Bottom 2 will get better once Dach returns , Roy joins the fold and Armia/Dvorak's deals end
Im good with Gally playing a bottom 6 leadership role , he earned that money being who he is.
He's got not long left playing his style as injuries pile up. Lets not ruin his final years over ****ing cap.

Trades

MTL

Additional Details:

Rebuilding CGY gets its own 1st round pick in 2025 back which is high odds to be a top 10 pick if not top 5. They take Allen and bury him to the AHL for just above Vladar's salary

Vladar swap is important as MTL see's him as a more experienced version of Montembault at the same age we got him. He gives us a good Tandem and a chance to close the Price-Allen era of goaltending finally.

CGY

Allen, Jake
Kidney, Riley
2025 1st round pick (CGY)
2025 2nd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

CGY might get more Quantity elsewhere..But getting control of their own Destiny .Thats giving them value and control

MTL

Ill bang out those trades on another post once we figure out the Lindholm return that works for all sides.

CGY

Additional Details:

To playoff teams at the TDL or the AHL in Primeaus case

The whole point to Calgary moving Vladar is to bring up Wolf, don't think they want a goalie in return. would think they look for a different asset, Dvorak maybe?

Fair, think you drop Vladar and Allen and swap the 2nd with another 1st and this looks more reasonable for a stud like Lindholm.

Habs traded Toffoli because he didn’t fit in new GM’s plans … same GM, same plan

That'd work cap wise actually better for us
I used Allen because if he's buried in the AHL its basically Vladars salary was all
Despite debuilding we would need to move someone to re-sign lindholm
