Description

I would draft Dickinson if he's still available, yes, another defense player, but if we think about it, our defense would grow exponentially to another level in three to four years with Ghule/Reinbacher; Mailloux/Dickinson and Struble/Xhekaj with the addition of on or two veterans that could also be within the top 4 (which would most likely push Struble Xhekaj as 7th and 8th Dmen).

I drafted and signed him here and sent to Laval, but he'd go back to OHL for another year, then be in Laval or MTL depending on the growth factor.

I'm also bringing up Reinbacher for the start of the season, he may well be ready or not, but with the plays he's been doing in Laval, he might be able to play at least his 10 games in MTL at the beginning and see where it leads..

Mittelstadt trade and signature, he may want 9M$ which habs have the space for if need be. I'd give it to him since he will become a more complete player than Caufield in the long run. I put 7.850M$ just as a base line.

Trades

MTL

2024 5th round pick (CHI)

Additional Details:

SJ get a seasoned forward to help with their rebuild under 2M$ to give them all the money in the word to get other players to sign while only providing a 5th round pick.

SJS

Armia, Joel ($1,700,000 retained)

MTL

2024 2nd round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

NYI may want to get a Defenseman that is more complete than Aho, Kovacevic did better on a worse team, hence would complete their third duo quite well.

NYI

Kovacevic, Johnathan
2024 3rd round pick (MIN)
2024 5th round pick (SJS)

Additional Details:

NYI give up a 2nd, but get a 3rd and a 5th in return.
I would also think that this could also be just Kovacevic for a 3rd pick. I'm just giving the very top return that could be offered.

MTL

2024 3rd round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

Late 3rd pick

ARI

Ylönen, Jesse

Additional Details:

Give Ylönen the chance to wear his father's jersey, gives ARZ a good bottom 6 player to replace any trades that could happen to garnish their current Defensive line contracts being all RFAs and UFAs. ARZ may want to trade some current forward players for established Dliners and push their younger guys forward.

MTL

Mittelstadt, Casey [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

AVS get Harris and Barron (back), plus a developing Beck, Heineman who can be used for depth, then get a 1st late pick and their 2nd round back.

COL

Barron, Justin
Beck, Owen
Harris, Jordan
Heineman, Emil
2024 1st round pick (WPG)
2024 2nd round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

Mittelstadt joins Habs; no big issue for AVS who'll need cap space and may not have that to sign him back plus other player to complete their alignment with only 9.6M$ left and a signed roster of 13 players.

Sharks don’t need you to retain on Armia. They’re going to have to add a decent amount of money this offseason just to hit the cap floor. Take out the retention and lower the pick to a 6th or 7th or some non prospect and I think you have a deal.

I know how stupid this sounds but lowkey I'd rather we keep Armia and move Andy or Gally if possible (unlikely), if not then don't sign marchessault. Armia has been probably the best he's ever been lately and can be a 3rd liner at this level easily. As bad as he's been, Anderson can't continue being this unluck, and I think if nobody wants him now (which I doubt anyone does) then keep him, no need to dump him and his value only goes up as his contract nears end

Isles are already 3 deep on RHD so there isn’t really a need for Kovacevic at the moment

pretty easy no from the habs. thats a crazy price for a 25 year old who hasnt broken 60 points Beck alone could be a better player in a few season, not to mention hes a center who plays a complete game and fits their timeline better. I dont see the appeal to that deal in any way from the habs. Also how would he want 9 mil? lol Necas going to probably extend in the 7-8 mil range and is a much better player.
