Team: 2021-22 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 3, 2021

Published: Dec. 3, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

1) Montreal accepts the rebuild and moves Price, but decides to retain half. It may be one of the only ways to move him. Montreal adds a good amount of futures in this trade. At the same time, they are giving Price a chance to join a team that is after a star goalie, and he also moves closer to where he is from. A big part of this is giving Price a fresh start with a team that will be competing.

2) The teams acquiring Kulak and Perreault are not important.. I am more focused on the return. They are 2 depth pieces that can easily be moved around the deadline.

3) Toffoli and Drouin are 2 wingers who make sense in terms of dealing. They have been playing pretty well, their contracts are palatable and they will have teams interested in them. Montreal gains more futures by dealing them.

4) Montreal will finish bottom 10, and will keep their own first. Arizona will pick up Carolina's first, which was acquired in the Dvorak deal.

5) I think some other guys could get moved, such as Lehkonen, Hoffman, Edmundson, Allen, among others, but I kept them for now. Lehkonen has played well and I feel like the Habs might opt to extend him. The rest really depend on the market. If the price is right, I could see them being dealt.
