cup contender

I can’t see the Habs moving on from Drouin so soon because management might took a lot of heat for getting him in the first place. Would you do Gally and Chucky and a could picks (2 x 2nds?) for Drai and Klefbom?

wow ok....... great team also you could get more cap space b/c the cap is moving up to 80M

Although Tavares to EDM is interesting, and that Habs trade is also interesting, I have many issues with this team.
1. You are playing both of the dmen on your top pairing on their off sides. The only reason to do this is to tank.
2. Get Sekera off of that top pairing. Nurse at least might not be a disaster there.
3. Nurse probably costs more than that, putting you over the cap.
4. Sekera is not a 1LD, but Sekera Benning is a 3rd pair masquerading as a 2nd pair. That will not end well.
5. Tavares should not be on the PK. EvolvingWild's xG model had him as one of the NHL's worst defensive forwards.
6. That Tavares contract will end in tears once he starts to decline.Signing a 27-year old to 8 years/$11 million is not a good idea: that contract will be bad when he's thirty, and unworkable (you cannot make the playoffs with it) at 33 in all likelihood.
7. Do not use rookie-mode LTIR: take your LTIR cap hit like a man.
8. What even is the point of the DET trade?

no way from Habs
