Description
If the habs don't resign Danault and Tatar, there would be a lot of cap available to sign Hamilton!

I'd put a RHD on the left side.

Then we would have a very menacing Dline.

      The boogaloo would be protecting allen and making Price Waive... they won't take price.

      I've put him on the RD. Petry and Weber have been playing together on the PP. I'd like to try them on the same line.

      I also believe they will be taking Allen... I guess it all depends on the other Goalies available to Seattle.

      If the Habs leave Price unprotected (IF he waives) that's a huge opportunity for Seattle. They would take Carey, withold half his cap and trade him for something big - to Colorado for instance. So that won't happen. End of the day Habs half to protect Price and Allen will be taken.

      When it comes to above, I don't think Bergy would let Tatar, Danault and Armia all walk. I'm sure he'll sign at least 1 of them.

      Maybe, though there are a LOT of good goaltenders that will be made available (Raanta, Korpisalo, Colton Point, Quick, Holtby, Khudobin, Allen, Rinne/Saros, and Vanecek), plus free-agent goaltenders that they may want to sign.

      I am not saying that they won't select Allen, but I am saying that it's possible they select someone else from the Canadiens. While their fanbase gives Mete a hard time, he is pretty well-thought of by NHL management as a good skating, puck-moving mid-bottom pair defenseman. Cale Fleury is a young, right-shot defenseman who is punishing to play against, and Lehkonen is an all-around solid grinding forward (the type that isn't sexy but that every team needs on their 4th line). It'll be interesting how trades and free-agent signings affect Seattles expansion draft.

      Alright, lets go through your list.
      Korpisalo and Saros will both be protected. (Merzlikins is exempt from the expansion draft)
      Raanta and Rinne will both be UFAs, so the players would have to agree to a contract with Seattle, which is not guaranteed.
      Point is not really good and not an NHL goalie.
      Quick and Khudobin have pretty heavy contracts.
      Vanecek and Holtby are definitely good options, but I am sure Seattle will want to grab two good goalies if they can.

      No one on MTL is as exciting as Allen is for them. He is the obvious pick right now. There will be much better defensive options than Mete and Fleury. Lehkonen will be protected.

      Not only were you lazy by making Byron "just dissapear" , but you still dont have enough money to sign Romanov /Suzuki/ Evans /Mete /Fleury/etc.

      So, to my credit, Merzlikins was not on the exempt list on CapFriendly, so I would have protected him. No idea why Meerlikins was placed where he was placed on this site. Point's future is debatable, and Quick can sell tickets. I would personally be all over Vanecek. It's also debatable whether Lehkonen would be protected or not.

      Listen, I am not married to any of these goaltenders: frankly, I couldn't care any less than I do about any of them. Whoever they draft, I wish them the best of luck.

      I'm at work, I'm not going to spend 1h to figure out the perfect Byron trade. It's not Lucic, Neal or Skinner money... it's possible to move. He's not the main purpose of this AGM. Comme on dit en Français : débuzze calique.

      The following year we have 9M to sign Suzuki and Romanov... Evans will probable have a slight raise... but not much - same with Mete and Fleury. Players can be moved and vice-versa.

      I don't think either Suzuki and Romanov will be commanding a big raise especially in the flat cap era. Push comes to shove, Lehkonen, Drouin can be moved. as well as chariot and edmundson.

      There is only pressure in you speak French... otherwise it is not worst than other big market.

      So what you are saying is that you didn't put a lot of thoughts into this. I believe you. Are you working at the SQDC?

      If you need 1h to figure out a plausible Byron trade, maybe he's not that tradable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Thank you for the good old excuse about overspending: Just trade away players (without any concrete idea) to make it fit!

      The NHL isn't a yard sale. It's easy to sign Hamilton @ 8 AAV when you just drop names of players to trade away to make capspace. In reality, you would need to take cap back to get rid of them.

      And you wont have enough space to resign the youth.

      I have to disagree with you bud. Some people are on this website to have fun and pass the time... some want to be hardasses. that's your choice!

      all these players can be moved. no question about it. Yes some would be harder than others. I didn't want to do a perfect Byron trade because I didn't want to argue with a dude living in his mom basement about the fact that the habs should give two first and Suzuki to move Byron.

      this AGM is to show that if we don't resign Danault, Tatar, and Armia, we could sign Hamilton.

      And yet you failed because you need to clear out 9M of capspace to sign your RFAs for the 2022-2023 season and you only have 2.7M + 1.8M (Kulak) + 0.8( Thompson) for a total of 5.3M, once you lost Chiarot AND made Byron dissapear. It all you can afford. Not 8M AAV.

      So go ahead! Dig your grave deeper and trade away Drouin to make it fit! Or Edmundson and Lehkonen! Let's destroy the left side of the Dcore for no good reason! You are just proving my point even more...
