Quoting: KMMHL2012
and in 2 years, the team dismantles
Y1 re-signing of, Laine, Gallagher, Danault, Armia, Lehkonen, KK and a backup (presumably call up Primeau, but that's still money off the cap)
Y2 re-signing of Chiarot, Mete, Juulsen, Romanov, Pool-party, Jost, Suzuki and Evans.
and they likely aren't good enough to win a cup in those 2 years.
All these Montreal giant trades and signings don't seem to consider the future, they're video game trades.
The up coming prospects will take place. Next year cap space will have 25 million available and in y2 and additional 12 million. Also the Habs will have trading assets.(Danault, Armia Chiarot, Mete, Gallagher Lehkonen, Allen) Cap space replacing these players will be 7 million and leaving 31 million to sign Laine, KK, Suzuki… so no cap issues keep yourself busy on your video game.
Prospects RW Caufield, Mercer, Ylonen, D Sanderson, Norlinder, Romanov, Harris, Struble,…C Poehling, Hillis, Olofsson…
