Canadiens Rebuild Year 1

Page 1 of 1

Created by: David_Desharnais_51

Team: 2022-23 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 10, 2022

Published: Mar. 10, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Players that were pending FAs have had their contract extended by one year to facilitate trades at the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline.

Chiarot is traded, but Lehkonen stays.

Montreal loses the Draft Lottery and picks 3rd. The pick is used to select Matthew Savoie. Ivan Miroshnichenko and his Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis causes him to fall to the Canadiens’ second first round pick in the mid-20s, acquired in the Tyler Toffoli trade.

Canadiens buyout Byron as they cannot find any team interested.

Under new head coach Martin St. Louis (loses the interim tag) the Canadiens remain at the bottom of the standings, however Cole Caufield continues to progress extremely well.

Trades

MTL

No return

Traded completed after deadline, but before 2022 NHL Draft

BUF

Armia, Joel
2022 3rd round pick (CAR)

MTL

2022 5th round pick (EDM)

EDM

Kulak, Brett

MTL

It’s not like Montreal needs to move Weber’s contract, but what does Arizona give up to take it and get them to the floor? They’ll need some salary paid especially if they’re moving Chychrun.

ARI

Weber, Shea

MTL

Lundkvist, Nils
2022 2nd round pick (STL)
2023 3rd round pick (NYR)

Additional Details:

I think this would be an acceptable offer, however, I am (barely) holding out hope that Hughes can get someone dumb or desperate enough to give up their 1st round pick.

NYR

Chiarot, Ben
2022 5th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

50% retained salary

The Rangers are not trading Lundqvist for a 3rd pair rental D. Easy NO.

Like the thinking, I think they're going to chase a 2nd/3rd centerman at the free agent market and trade Dvorak during the summer. I also doubt they're going to draft a 5"7 centerman with Caufield, Suzuki, Evans, Pitlick, Lehkonen, Gallagher under 6 foots. Rangers fans are highly going to disagree with Lundkvist being trade for Chiarot, maybe Zac Jones could be an option?

I think Hughes wants a RD (Jones is a LD) so the only one I would think they’d be after is Lundkvist. Perhaps Montreal throws in another asset to make it work.

I’m pretty high on Savoie but I’d love if the Habs went on a tank next year too to try and get Bedard. Savoie is 5’9 per EP and HDB and he’s 18 so there’s still time to grow. I think Suzuki is 5’10.

I’m not opposed to being bad if it means our cupboards are stocked and our team gets younger.

Oh you're right-didn't realize Jones was a lefty. But ya probably have to throw in an asset. Maybe he would try to make a bigger deal for Schneider at this point...

Yeah Suzuki is 5’10” but he’s built; he weighs like 210. Interesting fact I learned today, Crosby is only 5’11”
