Yep but 110% healthy also means over the cap and missing a good 3c ( no offense to Evans or Poehling )

the wings and the defense though
thats elite if they can produce... worst case you make a trade something like toffo and hoffman for a cheaper top six winger and a low cost 3c

I'd say move out Byron/Armia or both and get a 3c would be the best move for this team

I mean this team has Weber taking up $7.8 million despite being retired, so the cap situation isn’t that bad.

On paper it’s decent, on ice it’s ****. Drouin Caufield Anderson Hoffman Gallagher can’t play defense. Dvorak Toffoli are too slow. Chiarot & Edmundson are #4 dman. Weber wasn’t good in the regular season last year, only decent in the playoffs. Petry is the only really good dman when paired with Edmundson or Kulak (if we don’t consider this year). Romanov is good, I think he is underrated. Savard is a #5-6. Suzuki is great but not Elite, Dvorak is a 3C so we are missing a 2C but that 4th line is amazing. Goaltending is Elite

Didn't want to ruffle any feathers by being negative on here, but you're pretty spot on here...only thing I'd disagree with is the "elite" goaltending...both Price and Allen have been below league average in 4 of the past 5 seasons. Yes, great playoff run for Price, but when it comes down to it, this is a fringy wildcard team at best.

*Please note*: This isn't meant as a dump on the Habs post! Just my observations. Cheers!

Price Allen numbers are low because the team is sh*t. But they aren’t allowing bad goals (ok maybe 1 goal per 25 are a bad one), they are just left out to dry (I think that’s an expression lol). Price is Elite, Allen is an excellent backup but this year he is showing he could be a starting goalie. But yes he is more of a luxueux back-up.

I could buy that if it was just this season, but 4 out of the past 5 years with below league average numbers for both of them?

Allen always had good numbers in a back-up role
Price only bad season was the 2020-2021. The other seasons it wasn’t on him
