One thing to keep in mind is that if MTL maintain status quo, they will be a better team than they were last year. Habs led the league last year in "man games" lost due to injuries. Logically, just having a healthier roster will have the Habs finishing higher in the standings....
If you really want to tank... Jake Allen NEEDS to go, Price will also need to go back on LTIR, and guys like Armia, Hoffman, Drouin, and Dvorak all need to be shipped out ASAP (if any one of them has a bounce back season and puts up good numbers, that will mean more wins).
Not to mention you still want the young core to continue to get better (Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Harris, Guhle, Barron, etc.) Anyone of them steps up their game (which we want).....means more wins
So MTL could get a perfect storm of a healthy roster, bounce back years from Vets, and the current youth core continuing to improve....Habs could be right back to being a middle of the pack team...
