Description

Obviously I dont expect montreal to have 25 mil+ in cap space but it kinda makes sense when you assume Dach will get 7+ if he plays well and Newhook/Hutson/Reinbacher/Roy will also all need new deals so the 25 mil kinda makes sense in that way.

Also I don't think Evans is worth 3.5 but to keep him to be a veteran to the young guys he'll be overpaid

Everyone in the scratches I believe could take the step to being in the NHL or really close to it by this time

2024 Draft pick IMO needs to be one of Demidov/Eiserman/Linstrom/Helenius or Catton in that order - Or of course Celebrini

If Barron gets his D zone coverage under control and stays, then I'd have Guhle play on the Left side leaving the top 6 as

Hutson Reinbacher
Guhle Barron
Struble Mallioux

Leaving Arber as the odd man out.

Quoting: HabsAreSus

Barron & Xhekaj are both on the bubble in my opinion. I don't think either of them survive the emergence of Engstrom & Konyushkov.
