Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 11, 2022

Published: Dec. 11, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

There’s obviously a ton of projection here and a lot of unforeseen circumstances regarding the cap, trades, and drafts between now and 2025, but if for some reason Crosby asked Pittsburgh for a trade in the final year of his deal, here’s my pitch…

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Caufield, Cole	8	$8,500,000
Xhekaj, Arber	4	$2,550,000
Barron, Justin	3	$1,650,000
Harris, Jordan	3	$2,450,000
Ylönen, Jesse	3	$925,000
Pezzetta, Michael	1	$950,000

UFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Montembeault, Samuel	1	$2,500,000
Carrier, William	4	$2,750,000
Mantha, Anthony	3	$3,500,000

Trades

MTL

Crosby, Sidney

PIT

Hutson, Lane [Reserve List]
2025 1st round pick (CGY)
2025 1st round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

Whoever we draft with our 1st rounder in 2023 also would be included assuming his name isn’t Bedard.

MTL

ANA

Evans, Jake

Additional Details:

Anywhere for nothing.

Buyouts

Joel Armia: $866,667

Please no. Crosby for a year or two... Is not worth Hutson and 2 1sts.

That's gonna be a no, not a KH type trade nor is it something we'll have room for when Crosby is at the end of his career. He can moonlight elsewhere for that price.

Crosby would retire, before ever agreeing to waive for a rebuilding team like Montreal.

I am hoping we can be a contender by 2025.

Good luck with that, Tampa, Toronto and Florida are pretty much guaranteed to be there for awhile, And then you've Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa that're up and coming.

I don’t see Ottawa as up and coming and I don’t see Florida maintaining themselves as a playoff by 2025. I’ll concede we are a few years behind Buffalo and Detroit.
