Description

Pettersson and Hronek leave 1$M AAV on the table, but the deals put the team past the worst of the OEL buyout and in a better position to give everyone market value in 2027.

Lindholm and Zadorov leave money on the table for term.

So you can see, you're banking on some serious help from guys currently playing in their development systems, with Willander coming in after his second year of college is complete. And there would be a lot more heavy lifting to do to rebuild the depth in Abbottsford.

Montreal is already in LTIR for the duration of Price's contract. They get a decent prospect to help the Canucks get out of LTIR.

Karlsson to Chicago where he has a much better chance of getting some serious NHL minutes.

As a Habs fan, I'd send a 4th your way for the Chicago trade offer.
And as for the 2 defensemen, Habs are overflowing with defensemen...

I don’t think Lindholm is going to leave money on the table.

Karlsson has some skills for sure. But the one big knock on him is his skating. Which is a skill the Hawks are prioritizing. Not saying Hawks wouldn't give up a 4th for Karlsson, but his below average skating likely limits the Hawks interest.

Wouldn’t give Zadorov 6 years. Don’t love that Lindholm contract either, might be better to just use him as a rental and let him walk. Depends how he fits in

Poolman is LTIRetired and Truscott is a d-tier prospect. The advantage for the Habs is they have a better opportunity to benefit from LTIR relief pool and potentially ACSL accrual since they still have Price's cap hit for 3 years anyway.
