Habs would love it, Sens may get better prospects than that elsewhere. But Yzerman is way smarter than that, he knows he has to keep some young and relatively cheap talent around to balance his cap problems going forward. The team above works for just one season within the cap, and then explodes when Karlsson goes up to $11M per year, Pacioretty goes up to $6.5M per year, and you still need to re-sign Kucherov, Point and McDonagh. Any all-star team like this has to have some balance of new talent coming in each year on the bottom end of the salary scale.
