Realistic 2018 summer for the Habs (Well, mostly)

Created by: GaryMcBettman
Team: 2018-19 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 21, 2018
Published: Mar. 22, 2018
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
That's basically sending back Schlemko to Vegas for the same salary, but for twice the time.
Instead of 4,2M during 2 years, it's 4M over 4 years.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
As for Drouin still playing in center, I think it's part of MB's plan.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
I get that getting Dahlin is a bit far-fetched, but it's still more realistic than Tavares.
If the ship continues to sink, I think we'll get at least Boqvist.
In that case, keep the lineup the same, but don't trade Benn and keep
him as far as possible from the top pair.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
PS : Froese is probably worth the moon for Melnyk considering he's making the
NHL's minimum wadge at 650K.

Not bad, just some tweaking. I really do not see A. Shaw as a #1 RW. He never did that in OHL or NHL. He is more of a #3 RW. Personally I would try to move him. On D. If Habs get Dahlin, that would be amazing but I doubt it. I think Mete, Juulsen and reilly are all good adds and finds and will eventually be solid players. I liked you kept Niemi, he has played lights out since coming to MTL.

I totally agree with you about Shaw. But at the same time, I don't know what to do with him :
- It's not realistic to trade him considering the terms and injuries.
- I want to keep Drouin (if he's at C) with Byron and Gallagher because of the chemistry.
- Same with Galchenyuk and Lehkonen. I think Danault would be good with Galchy because he's north-south player.
- We don't have any other RW to play on top line in that case and Shaw played with Pacioretty this season showing some decent stats.

I wanna know what you think about this smile

I see your logic and thought process. I worked with Jonathan when he was in Halifax. He put way too much pressure on himself, being a local guy, donating money right out of the gate. He wanted to do so well but he is still only 22. Once he took the pressure off of himself and just played hockey he was much better. Not sure about last night's stats but the previous 10 games he was winning face offs at 62%, which is amazing. He should settle into a good 2nd line C.

As for A. Shaw, he is 175 soaking wet but plays the game as though he was 220. That works in Junior but not in NHL. Marchand had to change his game and as much as I dislike him, he has turned into a very good player. Shaw has had a plethora of injuries and his game is only going to go south. I would do everything in my power to move him. After this season, he has 3 more yrs at $3.9 M. You can move him on a package deal, add a player or two, or trade him for a 5th round. If MTL wants a higher draft pick like a 2nd, then it will need to eat some salary, say $1 M for next 3 yrs.

Also, Scherbak is not a 4th line player. He has the skill set of a 2nd line winger. Unfortunately his game is not consistent yet, once it is and he performs regularly he will force MTL's hand and have him move up. I hope he can turn into a consistent player because he does have some skills and from time to time, we see flashes of it.

Yeah I get that for Shaw. I'm quite scared for the future about him and MB probably shares our concerns. But what would you do with that free RW spot if MB manages to trade him?

To me it comes down to weapons. The more "weapons" you have on offense, the more dangerous your team. 20 yrs ago I had three very strong C's that finished with 51, 54 and 49 goals. No matter what teams did against us, they could not stop us. When playing against MTL, it is easy to isolate their offense, especially after Weber went down. Take Patch out of the game and who is the real threat to score. Gallagher has emerged which obviously helps. So to answer your question, I would compliment Patch with another weapon or two. I would try to sign Ilya Kovalchuk, Michael Grabner for example. Look how Patch played last year when he had Radu on his line.
