Description

Mtl gets younger and is aggressive at draft day and offseason to move up hopefully selecting demidov or catton and another pick smw in the top 15
They take cap back and get more picks and prospects

This is a look at opening night roster but id sign 3 vets a 7th d maybe a top 6 d vet if they want maillioux and barron to develop 1 more year.

Maybe sign a top 9 vet like perron or smt for holloway and roy possible reassignment for developent.

Trade armia and ceci at deadline and what ever vets brought in.

I personally wouldnt buyout anyone cuz mtl is rebuilding has the cap and also tends to get injured.

The difference between Campbell and a retained Allen is 1st + Holloway, the difference between Ceci and Savard is more than a 2nd.

Too much quantity and not enough quality for Zegras.

Roy should be in the top 6, Newhook sucks at center and Dach is too injury prone to be relied on as a 2nd line center. IMO Habs should look into bringing in another top 6 center (maybe PLD, Lindell or Zegras)

If I was Calgary acquiring Matheson would be awesome but, probably wouldn't pay that.
I'd probably go with Vancouver's 1st rounder this year plus Dallas' 2nd rounder this year, I've heard next years draft class is better and deeper than this one so keeping those picks would be a priority

Calgary would be moronic to do that for Matheson. He's 30 and worse than both Weegar and Andersson, and they are rebuilding.
