To MTL:

To MTL:
2022 2nd round pick (PIT), 2024 7th round pick (PIT)
To PIT:
Jake Allen (50% retained - $1,437,500)
Trade should only be done by MTL if Primeau proves he can take on a backup spot. Otherwise, unless a backup goalie is being acquired, keep away from making a trade like this.

To MTL:
Anton Khudobin, Ty Dellandrea, 2022 5th round pick (DAL)

Trade is made with the assumption that Klingberg isn't resigning with DAL due to his high asks.

*Personal preference having Pitlick wear 20. Whether he switches to another number that isn't 32 is fully up to him.
**See MTL/ARZ trade.
With Harris and Guhle cracking the roster on this ACGM, there's simply no room for Lagesson, as he's likely to be claimed on waivers, so the Canadiens trade him to the Ducks for the brother of Kaiden Guhle.
Forget Letang. I'd rather grab a cheaper vet, even if it's a LHD to play on the right side. Next year is a development year for our defense.
Edmundsson and Barron
Romanov and Savard
Guhle/Schueneman and a reliable partner
Give Guhle 9 games before deciding whether to keep him up. Get Norlinder in the AHL to adjust to American ice before giving him a trial run.
Harris, Lagesson, etc. can try out afterwards if neither sticks.
No real problems with the rest. I'll say if we're trading for Dellandrea, we should keep him up rather than Dauphin or Pezzetta.
