Created by: ML16

Team: 2022-23 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 18, 2022

Published: Jul. 18, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The roster would actually be the opening nigh one of the following season, notwithstanding however the likely addition of a top-5 pick at the 2023 draft and a G situation re-assessment depending on Price’s future.

Free Agent Signings

RESERVE LIST		YEARS	CAP HIT
Farrell, Sean		3	$925,000
Beck, Owen		3	$875,000

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Primeau, Cayden	2	$950,000
Dach, Kirby	2	$2,250,000
Dubois, Pierre-Luc	8	$7,875,000

Trades

MTL

2023 2nd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Dadonov @ 50% salary retention to ANY contender/pretender looking for a veteran winger for their playoffs run.

PIT

Dadonov, Evgeni
2023 4th round pick (PIT)

MTL

Girard, Samuel

Additional Details:

Colorado sheds Girard’s salary (replaced in the top-4 by Byram) in order to prepare for MacKinnon’s renewals talks. In return, a (hopefully resurging) Drouin with maximum retention as playoffs rental : a (hopefully convincing by then) Harris as a promising young cost-controlled LHD and two draft picks in a draft where Colorado has barely any at this time.

COL

Drouin, Jonathan ($2,750,000 retained)
Harris, Jordan
2023 2nd round pick (PIT)
2023 4th round pick (MTL)

MTL

Dubois, Pierre-Luc [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Once Dubois’ trade value drops to a 1 year rental next offseason, a deal can likely be struck around a slightly better package than (late) 1st + A Prospect.

WPG

Dvorak, Christian
Smilanic, Ty [Reserve List]
Ylönen, Jesse
2023 1st round pick (FLA)

MTL

2023 3rd round pick (TOR)

Allen, Jake ($1,437,500 retained)
2023 4th round pick (VGK)

Drouin doesn’t have trade value, especially not Sam Girard trade value.

Get rid of the taxi squad. That's not happening.

I much rather have Girard going to Montreal than PLD

Drouin doesn’t have trade value, especially not Sam Girard trade value.

I postulate - however unlikely it is - that Drouin redeems himself in a contract year and becomes a worthwhile TDL asset at 50% retention, especially with his history with MacKinnon. I also postulate that Harris steps up after an encouraging first couple of games and becomes a young, viable, cheaper, 3rd pairing to let Byram take Girard’s spot on the top-4.

That’s a lot of IFs, but it would be a creative way to use Drouin, LHD prospect and expandable picks to fetch a defenseman under reasonable terms for the rebuild.

If Drouin pops off and has a perfect season, he would be a great rental on the market. But that’s unlikely for the player Drouin has been in his career. And even if that happened, you’re not getting 4 years of Sam Girard for a rental. At best you’re looking at a pick or a prospect.
